Why Bernie Sanders’s real-time reaction to Iran bombing took over social media

Bernie Sanders' reaction to hearing about the US bombing of Iran's nuclear facilities was caught on camera at a rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The senator's expressive face conveyed shock, surprise, and disgust as he learned the news. The crowd at the rally also reacted strongly, booing and chanting "No more war!" Sanders agreed with the crowd, calling the bombing "so grossly unconstitutional." The video of the moment has gone viral, with millions of views on TikTok and Twitter. The senator's authenticity and anti-war stance were on full display in his reaction. The bombing was a surprise to many, including members of Congress, who were not informed or consulted in advance. A YouGov survey found that 85% of Americans do not want the US to be at war with Iran. Many other politicians, including some Trump voters, have also come out against the strike. Sanders' reaction has become a symbol of the widespread opposition to the bombing. The incident highlights the importance of congressional oversight and transparency in military actions.
