Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted Friday that President Donald Trump's drone strike in Iraq constituted an 'act of war' and that 'war endangers us all.'

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted about President Donald Trump's actions in the Middle East, saying,"Right now is the moment to decide if you are pro-peace or not."

Last night the President engaged in what is widely being recognized as an act of war against Iran, one that now risks the lives of millions of innocent people. "Don't give into this gaslighting," Ocasio-Cortez wrote."The same folks selling us Iraq and selling us this latest provocation of violence. We cannot repeat this cycle."

What is great in the situation. Anyone will see who is on US side and who is actually not (regardless of what this one postulates publicly). Of course it's not like black and white but meshed in some proportions

The most ignorant person in congress!

Wait till Iran infest US and other countries with suicide bombers and terrorists.

Traitor

She realy should have someone on her staff that knows the law. The attack on our embassy is an act of war. Trump responded to that attack, unlike Obama. But the Obama armed the terrorists before they atacked the embassy and had to hide that fact by blaming it on a Youtube video.

AO who?

So we were suppose to sit back and just let them attack our embassy and kill more Americans ? And we were supposed to sit back even though there was Intel of another imminent Attack ? And now you want to pass a Bill to tie the presidents hands from defending out country ? Unreal

Suggest you discuss with US military leadership before making such a statement

NO to a war with Iran 🇮🇷 the Obama-Biden administration&predecessors already destroyed Iraq🇮🇶 Libya🇱🇾Syria🇸🇾 it’s necessary that the US 🇺🇸 stop 🛑 it’s destructive actions in the Middle East, with a catastrophic impact in the region and the 🌎geopolitical stability.

Need to check Obama's record on his drone strikes. She is really one stupid lady

INNOCENT!! How dare you?!?

Oh please...🙄

AOC, the Crazy and Delusional Islamofascists in Iran are not 'innocent,' they should NEVER be Humanized in any manner.

Not even a plastic surgeon could make her a bigger boob

Dumber everyday.

Why the media or people listen to this imbecile is beyond my comprehension.

America must take action to that the Senate and House approves such Declaration of War. The Lunatic has taken over the Asylum.

Sacerdotus Her middle name is ACT OF WAR !😂🇺🇸

🤣🤣🤣🤣 AOC calls Terrorists killers “ innocent people”. She doesnt deserve to be American

Welp it is. If someone killed our Secretary of defense while he was in another country, we'd call it that. Right🤷🏾‍♂️

Why is it the ones who say they want peace are the ones that keep telling everyone their government just started a war?

Treasonous to undermine POTUS during conflict engagement with shit-talk. Structured Congressional Debate is acceptable - but all Dems immediately come out and attack POTUS BEFORE they know the details of event provocation is despicable & undermines American security - period!

Remember back in the days when U.S. Congress were allies with the White House?

F her

CitizenBomber Yeah, tell the US just to remove themselves from the planet. They make a national sport out of war...

Thank you AOC

There's NO DIFFERENCE between Soleimani and Trump! They are BOTH SANCTIONED TERRORISTS!

She’s a mental case.

What an Airhead !

Trump steamrolls Congress as Iran fight escalatesThe White House gave zero notice to key congressional leaders about the U.S. drone strike on Qassem Soleimani, who led Iran’s elite Quds force The strike against Soleimani is not the first time Trump has declined to consult with lawmakers before key national security decisions. They didn’t give a heads up to congressional leaders before the raid that killed ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi So I am concerned that Putin knew about it prior to its execution. Further destabilization in the region. First Syria now Iran. Where will Putin direct him next?

Trump senior official urges Iran to follow ''right path' and behave 'like a normal nation'United States National Security Adviser Robert C. O'Brien urged Iranian leaders to negotiate with the United States and follow the 'right path' instead of 'taking hostages' during a conference call. Seriously, this coming from a senior trump official; 'Iran to follow right path' and behave 'like a normal nation' LORD, TAKE THE WHEEL!! Trump violated EO12333 (Reagan) No person employed by or acting on behalf of the US Gov't shall engage in, or conspire to engage in, assassination. Also, EO 11905 (Ford) banned political assassinations & EO 12036 (Carter) had further banned indirect assassinations. THIS IS WAR That’s very provocative

If Trump Can’t Bully Iran Into Backing Down, Things Could Get Scary FastGiven Trump’s combined taste for violence and distaste for messy conventional warfare, and his limited concern for the lives of non-Americans, you have to assume the worst is possible. ed_kilgore writes ed_kilgore ed_kilgore 'non-americans' that's generous ed_kilgore He got to play Tony Soprano and have somebody whacked. I'm sure it's intoxicating for him.
