AOC calls Trump 'a monster' over threat to Iran; Omar, other Democrats warn of potential 'war crimes

Outspoken Democrats 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.
