Ocasio-Cortez Says Trump Is A ‘Monster’ For ‘Threatening To Kill Innocent Families, Women, And Children’ In Iran

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has branded President Donald Trump a “monster” for threatening to target more than 50 Iranian sites—including some he said are “important to Iran and the Iranian culture”—if Tehran retaliates for the US assassination of General Qasem Soleimani.

“This is a war crime,” Ocasio-Cortez, a Democrat from New York, tweeted in response to the president’s warning.

“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.”
