AOC calls Trump 'a monster' over threat to Iran; Omar, other Democrats warn of potential 'war crimes'
Fox News via MSN ^ | 1/05/20 | Brie Stimson

Outspoken Democrats -- from far-left "Squad" members to 2020 presidential hopefuls -- wasted little time Saturday in denouncing President Trump's warning to Iran about possible retaliation for the U.S. airstrike that killed Iran's Gen. Qassem Soleimani.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., answered by calling the president a “monster.”

“This is a war crime," Ocasio-Cortez wrote. "Threatening to target and kill innocent families, women and children -- which is what you’re doing by targeting cultural sites - does not make you a ‘tough guy,’ It does not make you ‘strategic.’ It makes you a monster.”

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., accused Trump of "threatening to commit war crimes." "God help us all!" she added.

Presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., expressed a similar message.

“You are threatening to commit war crimes," Warren wrote. "We are not at war with Iran. The American people do not want a war with Iran. This is a democracy. You do not get to start a war with Iran, and your threats put our troops and diplomats at greater risk. Stop.”

Even the Rats are considering erasing her seat since NY has lost a seat in Congress. Good riddance!

So now it’s war crimes. I guess they would have preferred Hitler lived so he could have killed more jews.

She's obviously part of a terrorist operation or she'd have +mentioned one of these sites when her pals in ISIL were blowing up everything that didn't fit into their Satanic vision.

That stain on the pavement is something I would like to see more of...

Culturally speaking.

She’s a loony-Leftist member of the Squawk. She’s not compliant with her Thorazine regimen.

They’ll just continue to add more Articles of Impeachment while they hold the process hostage.

But...it is a cultural site. Haven’t you heard of the air traffic control Tower of Babel at the Baghdad airport?

I find it interesting that she didn't say the same about the mullah's retaliation threat to the U.S......

Trump needs to inform one member of congress of a plan for an air strike. Then, after they leak it, charge them with treason and hang them.

This illustrates how far off the ozone layer the DemonRATs will go to misrepresent reality. We are witnessing how they have ran a dog and pony show to brainwash their ignorant apathetic base. They are the new Hollywood, creating the fantasy land of the Unicorn Farm with shiny pennies and false Utopias. This is how the Postmodernists work to create a Marxist tribal state which earns the name I call them: DemonRATs.

I notice that this story is a regurgitation by Fox News of an MSN story. The last two days Fox has been leaning toward more and more news stories with an anti-Trump slant.

Democrats all hate America. I wish Omar would stick to screwing her family members and leave the rest of America alone.
