US President Donald Trump's threats of wiping out the “whole civilisation” in Iran drew strong condemnation from Democrat leaders, who called for his “immediate removal” and a push back from some Republicans who hoped and prayed that the remarks were “bluster”. The calls for the removal of Trump by invoking the 25th Amendment reached a crescendo among Democrats who slammed the US President’s remarks as “unhinged” and amounting to “war crimes”. Republican Senator Ron Johnson said he does not support Trump’s threats and hoped that the remarks were really bluster.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, one of a handful of Republican senators to vote to convict Trump on an impeachment charge in 2021, called the president's threat "an affront to the ideals our nation has sought to uphold and promote around the world for nearly 250 years." "It undermines our long-standing role as a global beacon of freedom and directly endangers Americans both abroad and at home," she wrote.
White House spokesman Davis Ingle brushed aside the call by Democrats for Trump's removal as "pathetic". The Democrats in Congress are deranged, weak, and ineffective, which is why their approval ratings are at historic lows, Ingle said in a statement.
Former Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, had a fallout with Trump, condemned the US President's calls for the destruction of an entire civilisation. "25TH AMENDMENT," Taylor-Greene wrote in a social media post, referring to the rules for removal of the President from office. "Not a single bomb has dropped on America. We cannot kill an entire civilisation. This is evil and madness," she said.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris said the President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilisation" because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy
for how to end it. "Trump's recklessness is needlessly putting our brave service members in harm's way, destroying America's global standing, and making life even more unaffordable for the American people. We must all stand against this and oppose funding this illegal war of choice," Harris said in a social media post.
