Something fairly amusing has been spotted:

Rep. Ted Lieu is a very vocal critic of President Trump, and that criticism has escalated since the U.S. (along with the U.K. and France) launched missile strikes on chemical weapons facilities in Syria:
Use of force by @realDonaldTrump against Syria is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. This is not self defense & no AUMF covers it. Use of chemical weapons is horrific. But our Constitution does not allow @POTUS to attack a country–which has not attacked the US–without Congressional approval. https://t.co/frC6XaizX5

“UNCONSTITUTIONAL”? Well, the California Democrat was spotted taking a different tone on unilateral executive branch military action depending on which party’s in the White House:
This is hypocrite @tedlieu in his darkest, dimmest hour. Two different presidents. Two different positions. #Syria #SyriaStrikes #LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder #LiberalLogic #FlipFlop pic.twitter.com/altCkEOYZZ

Once more for posterity, here’s Lieu’s tweet about after Trump announced a U.S./U.K./France coalition struck Syria:
Use of force by @realDonaldTrump against Syria is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. This is not self defense & no AUMF covers it. Use of chemical weapons is horrific. But our Constitution does not allow @POTUS to attack a country–which has not attacked the US–without Congressional approval. https://t.co/frC6XaizX5

But during Obama’s presidency, Lieu took a very different tone:
I believe it is unwise to strike #Syria. But if US is going to, I sure hope POTUS on Tuesday says he is seeking to destroy Assad's regime.

What a shocking double standard! No, not really.
First piece of advice:
Always assume @tedlieu is full of crap.Second piece of advice:
There is no other advice needed regarding @tedlieu https://t.co/NeGbKlB9Ko— Brad Slager – Ano de Cinema Mal ? ??? (@MartiniShark) April 14, 2018

Lieu will probably outdo himself before too long.
