Speaking on Meet the Press Sunday morning, Elizabeth Warren said Trump may be driving the US into a war in a rage over his impending impeachment trial.
Democratic contenders like Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden are also decrying Donald Trump for potentially plotting war crimes after he tweeted that he's planning to target 52 Iranian sites, many of them culturally important, in response to potential retaliation over the U.S. killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani.
On Saturday Warren condemned the president's threat amid escalating tensions with Tehran, saying 'You are threatening to commit war crimes. We are not at war with Iran. The American people do not want a war with Iran,' she said.
'The more the walls close in on this guy, the more irrational he becomes,' Biden tweeted Saturday evening.
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez branded Trump a ‘monster’ for his threat.
Trump's incendiary tweet Saturday evening warned Iran that Washington would target 52 Iranian sites 'some at a very high level & important to Iran & the Iranian culture', if any Americans or American assets are hit.
