After reviewing what the felon actually said, the summary statement that characterized what he said as "it is unconstitutional to seek congressional authority" strikes me as a bit of sane-washing. That is, an attempt to make sense of a bizarre word salad. Somebody noticed the very straightforward question and then picked out one thing that perhaps could have been considered a "response." In fact, what he said made absolutely NO sense at all.

Q: It's day 60. Are you going to seek congressional authorization for.."

Felon: "No other country has ever -- a -- done it. It's never been in -- as you know, most people consider it totally unconstitutional. Also we have a ceasefire, so that gives additional time. But no other country has done it. We're in the midst of a big victory. A victory like we haven't seen since Venezuela... "


Sorry, there is no way to interpret "No other country has done it" as anything but bizarre, out of left field, nonsensical, and non-responsive.
