President Trump announced the military action against three Iranian nuclear sites in a post on Saturday.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat, ripped President Donald Trump for his military attack against Iran on Saturday, saying the move is “absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

Democrats are splintered on Trump’s move to strike the Middle Eastern country amid days of back-and-forth strikes between Israel and Iran as tensions catapulted amid nuclear concerns.

Newsweek previously reached out to the White House via email for comment on the strikes.

    “The opposition party likely gains from internal division when the country faces a foreign-policy challenge. That way, no matter which way the crisis resolves, they have leaders who can say they were on the right side.”

    This is why politics irritate the fuck out of me.

      That’s just a sterile, academic way of looking at the benefits of diversity. If you have multiple leaders with different solutions to issues then you are more likely to have a leader that was closest to the mark. For a professor that sure was a shithead way of expressing a simple idea.
