Radical leftist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) accused President Trump over the weekend of engaging in a “war crime” for responding to Iran’s threats with forceful warnings, calling him a “monster” and an “authoritarian” who wants to “erase history.”
Referring to Trump’s threat to target 52 Iranian sites if the terror state retaliates against Americans or American assets for the killing of terror mastermind Qasem Soleimani, AOC tweeted, “This is a war crime.”
“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,” AOC pontificated. “Targeting cultural sites is a war crime…” she tweeted separately. “They tell humanity’s story – that is why authoritarians target them. They want to erase history.”
AOC has it backwards: the Iranian mullahs are the authoritarian war criminals who want to erase history, but Democrats always side with America’s enemies.
