Ilhan Omar, AOC, Bernie Sanders, and other Democrats to Trump: Lift sanctions on Iran, world’s largest state sponsor of terror

40

More despicable conduct from Bernie Sanders, AOC, and the pro-Jihad Democrats. They want the Trump administration to suspend U.S sanctions against Iran, so that they can fight the COVID-19 crisis. What they refuse to tell anyone is that Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, owns assets worth over $200 billion. He refuses to release these funds to help the people of Iran, because he would much rather finance terrorism in Gaza, Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and Latin America. If the pro-jihad Democrats had a shred of decency, they would instead condemn Iran’s leaders for their murder of American Robert Levinson. Shame on them.

AOC, Bernie Sanders, and other lawmakers send letter to Trump administration asking for Iran sanctions relief amid COVID-19 crisis

By Mondeweiss, March 26, 2020:

Story continues below advertisement

Nine members of Congress have signed on to a letter asking the Trump administration to suspend U.S. sanctions on Iran amid the COVID-19 crisis. The letter comes amidst a wider effort by activists to raise awareness of the issue and pressure the Treasury Department to take immediate action.

COVID-19 has already killed over 1,500 people in Iran and the sanctions are making the situation even more dire. Narges Bajoghli, an assistant professor of Middle East studies at Johns Hopkins University, and Mahsa Rouhi, a research fellow at the Nonproliferation and Nuclear Policy program at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, detail the the horrific reality in todays New York Times:

The Trump administration claims that its sanctions do not hinder medicine and humanitarian trade. But since the sanctions prevent international financial transactions and shipping, any trade, including that of medicines and medical equipment, is almost impossible. Several companies that supply the medical equipment required to fight coronavirus have stopped shipping to Iran because their banks refuse to handle the transactions.

The Trump administration’s unwillingness to ease restrictions when Iran faces this debilitating crisis will severely hobble efforts at engagement for years to come and stain the reputation of the United States as a global leader.

The letter, which was sent to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin. “Rather than continue to pile on sanctions in the Iranian people’s hour of need, we urge you to substantially suspend sanctions on Iran in a humanitarian gesture to the Iranian people to better enable them to fight the virus, it reads, Sanctions relief should encompass major sectors of the Iranian economy, including those impacting civilian industries, Iran’s banking sector and exports of oil, and should last for at least as long as health experts believe the crisis will continue. Failure to do so risks inhibiting the delivery of key humanitarian goods, and putting the Iranian people into further health and economic peril.”

It was signed by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Senator Bernie Sanders (D-VT), Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Representative Jared Huffman (D-CA), Senator Ed Markey (D-MA), Representative Joaquin Castro (D-TX), Representative Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), and Representative Barbara Lee (D-CA).

The swamp is corrupt through and through. To allow these representatives to do and say what they want is not free speech! They are killing our next generation through abortion, they allow illegals sanctuary and rights, they allow mentally troubled homeless to live, crap on the streets and tax payer to foot the bill. This is insanity and we the people are insane to allow this to continue!

this democrat fascination with iran is worth noting. the muslim lectured us in 2008 how insignificant they were, the size of oregon and all, and since then the entire democrat party has focused on shipping money, weapons, and food to iran like no other country. the only conclusion one can draw is that the democrats are the largest sponsor of muslim terrorism aimed at jewish genocide. the entire party is a domestic enemy, and i’m waiting for the first repub in congress to come out and say this. then the fun can begin.

How did Ayatollah Ali Khamenei become so rich? Its the systematic seizure of thousands of properties belonging to Shiite Muslims, members of religious minorities, ordinary Iranians, Iranians who own business and from Iranians living outside Iran’s borders.

There is an organization called Setad that systematically confiscates properties, and just guess who ends up owning the property? Remember, he is there for the Iranian people, but for some reason the majority want him tried as a criminal.

If you think about it, Iran is an example of Islamic socialism. No wonder these circus fools want to send aid – to another failed socialist regime.

Warren just wants her name out there. Probably has some Iranian blood in her. Ya, right. AOC is the pencil that is not only the dullest in the box but has yet to be sharpened. Omar works against the US every opportunity she gets, and just loves Hamas. Bernie still believes he is a 20 year old radical working for “The Movement”, AKA socialism. The rest have proven themselves to be who and what that should not be in US politics nor have the intelligence to figure out that they are dupes, or put another way, “useful idiots”.

Who knows, in a few months a good many of them may be out of work, though Bernie will probably keep his position. What can I say: Vermont. His only political claim to fame is that he wrote three bills for renaming three different post office buildings. He has been in office for how many years?

…how’s the investigation going into Omar marrying her brother to get him American citizenship, and how is the campaign finance fraud investigation going? Anyone know?
I had great hopes for Barr….but it dissipates a little each day goes by that he will ever get her, Talib, Clinton, etc.

Trump is succeeding where all others have failed so he must be stopped. Any easing of sanctions would result in more terrorism funding, not more funding for medical supplies.

It is guaranteed, the lifting of the sanctions, the money, mega-billions would not go the suffering Iranians. Bernie and his tagalong jihads are more than aware that the terror state, Iran, would ramp up terror against America, especially the State of Israel.

This terrorist regime and the fetid, treasonous Party, the faux-Democrats are doing the utmost to undermine America and the Presidency. The Democrats’ Pelosi is an unabashed traitor to ‘We the People’ endeavoring to destabilize the Republic, the Constitution, and President Trump.

…..because all that money on those pallets delivered to Iran in the middle of the night by Obummer….did not go to the Iranians….it went to terror around the globe and a little something for Obama and John Kerry in an Iranian account.

Amen, ladywarrior, of course, Kerry and Obama should be doing time in a federal penitentiary for treason. They, as are all faux-Democrats, are deemed above the law, the Constitution. Obama is and remains pro-Islam, jihad, as he detests this Constitutional Republic, and has done so since he sucked his first breath as a Muslim. Yes, the old payoff, then again, another fact that confirms the out-and-out corruption. Not that it needs confirmation. Take care, ladywarrior, stay safe and healthy.

These traitors, all of whom sit in the United States congress
with sumptuous salary, expense accounts, staff and other
luxuries including extremely generous lifelong retirement
income, should be held up to public ridicule and shamed
to the greatest extent for their traitorous demand that
sanctions be lifted against the greatest sponsor and
paymaster of worldwide terror and anti-Semitic hatred
in all of history.
Hitler would proudly award them all
the Iron Cross, first class.

Pamela posted a list on her site of: 100 SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES WHO SENT LETTERS OF SUPPORT TO DESIGNATED ISLAMIC TERROR GROUP (November 19, 2019)

I suggest you research it and see if your representatives are on the list. Then start blasting them with emails and organize to get them “unelected.”

I don’t see anyone on that list from TN right now….but who knows.

Stop and think about it 100 OF OUR REPRESENTATIVES…..which means they don’t represent us….just our enemy.

Well, we knew Omar and AoC are tools for Islam…..now we see that Comrade Sanders is joining the effort for Islam to defeat America and invade.

Sanders has always been one of the worst freeloaders on American “entitlements” since his college days. He didn’t have a real job until he was 40 years old when he went to work for the government handing out food stamps. Then he got elected to some local government in Vermont.

Every time I see him I cringe. While Vermont has great maple syrup….they are really twisted sick people to keep putting this Gonif in office. It’s why I buy my maple syrup from Canada.

I am saddened and angry, but definitely not surprised, that 3 members from my home state of MA signed the letter:

–Senator Fake Indian Pocohantas Warren
–Senator Ed Dead-From-The -Neck-Up Markey
–Rep Ayanna The Bald Dude Member of The Squad Pressley.

I am proud to say I never voted for nor support these azz-hats. I was one of the 1 Million from MA (shocked there were that many from this BLUE state) that voted for POTUS Trump. The above 3, all who signed this “letter”, and pretty much most democRATS need to be arrested for treason and sedition against the United States. Yesterday !!

Sanctions are in place against Iran to deter them from obtaining the nuclear
bomb – and safeguard American lives. If sanctions are lifted – even during
a pandemic – Iran will accelerate its quest to harm the American people –
who are also experiencing the deadly corona virus.

It really boils down to Us or Them in deciding whether to lift sanctions.
Ilhan Jihadi Omar and her Commie friends in Congress have treacherously
chosen Them. What else is new.

Their drumbeat of “We are doing this for the Iranian PEOPLE sounds
hollow as well. Especially when we remember their support of Iranian
LEADERS after Trump annihilated that top General Suleiman.

Under the phony facade of compassion for others – these Islamic-Commie
scumbags will do ANYTHING to take down America.
