OPINION:
In 1979, under President Jimmy Carter’s watch, a mob of radical Iranian students took 66 Americans hostage at the U.S. embassy in Tehran. Some 444 days later, Carter’s botched rescue of those hostages — in which three helicopters went down, causing the mission to be aborted — made us look inept and week in the eyes of the world.
Today, some of the most despicable anti-American politicians and outspoken Democrats are Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep.Hakeem Jeffries, all of whom are traitors to our country and want to impeach our president for his courageous bombing of three Iranian nuclear sites last weekend.
These miscreants have abused their First Amendment right to free speech under the Constitution. They should be criminally charged and removed from office for abusing their power to incite the people against President Trump. It constitutes an act of sedition to undermine what Mr. Trump did on behalf of the country.
Lest I forget, the biggest offenders in U.S. government when it comes to Iran are former President Barack Obama and his onetime partner in crime, President Joe Biden. Both are guilty of treason for giving aid and comfort to an enemy by giving billions of dollars to Iran. The regime in Tehran is indeed a sworn enemy that has continuously called for “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” and its funding of terror worldwide has resulted in numerous death and the destabilization of the Middle East.
The anti-American cleric Khomeini, who is supposed to be Iran’s “spiritual leader,” is nothing more than a murderous tyrant who has held the Iranian people hostage for 46 years. If ever there were a reason to remove someone from the human race, he would be my choice.
