RUSH: [I]n the past two or three days since the attack on Soleimani, you literally have the Democrat Party and elements of that party openly supporting Iran, an enemy of the United States, openly supporting the terrorist actions of that country, and this is a country that beheads homosexuals and transgenders –“Ocasio-Cortez Accuses ‘Monster’ Trump of Engaging in ‘War Crime’ over Iran Threats.”

… here you’ve got Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez accusing Trump of being a monster for engaging in war crimes in Iran. Another headline: “AOC Likes Tweet from Russian State Media Claiming Iran Doesn’t Target Civilians.”

RUSH: Well, I…. (sigh) Maybe the tweets that I saw over the weekend I didn’t see — and maybe the caterwauling from elected Democrats over the weekend that I saw, maybe they didn’t happen. I just don’t pull this stuff out of my top hat. I don’t even have one of those. I don’t pull it out of my back pocket and just throw it out there. In fact, this isn’t anything new!

Back when Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was the president of Iran, you couldn’t tell the difference between what he was saying about Bush and what the Democrats were saying about Bush. Anyway, we thought we would play a little game here. We’re gonna go side-by-side, A-B comparison, and you tell me if I may be overstating that. Up first is Javad Zarif. He is the Iranian foreign minister. He was on CNN this morning, said this about Trump’s warning to Iran if they attacked the United States…

RUSH: And here is Democrat presidential candidate Fauxcahontas Warren…

WARREN: (haltingly) We now have a president who is tweeting threats of war crimes. We’ve had to pull all of the Americans out of the area, all the civilians. This is not making America safer.

RUSH: Iranian or Democrat? You decide.

SANDERS: It is a war crime, and to be learning from the Taliban about destroying cultural sites is unbelievable. And the idea of spending trillions of dollars more on an endless war in Iran is, to me, just beyond comprehension.

RUSH: s this a Democrat or is this an Iranian?

ZARIF: He’s prepared to commit war crimes. He has killed people of this region. He has spent a trillion dollars. He said that, uhh, U.S. had, uh, wasted $7 trillion in our region. He has added another trillion. Is the United States more secure today because of that?

RUSH: So who is that? Is that a Democrat or is that…?

SCHIFF: When Donald J. Trump was sworn in on January 20th, 2017, he repeated these words. I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of the president of the United States and will to the best of my ability preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. Has he lived up to that sacred obligation? Has he honored his oath of office? Has he preserved, protected, and defended the Constitution of the United States? The uncontested evidence provides the simple yet tragic answer: He has not. In America, no one is above the law.

RUSH: an Iranian or is this a Democrat?
