The Iranian regime has been on a rampage, murdering thousands of its own citizens in brutal crackdowns on protests, launching missile and drone strikes against at least 10 innocent countries through direct actions or proxies, and even sending assassins in plots to kill the U.S. president.

And we won't even bother to talk about past aggressions ,Oct. 7 and more. Yet 53 far left Dem's in the House voted against a simple nonbinding resolution to reaffirm that Iran is the largest state sponsor of terrorism .

Americans have also seen far left progressives prioritize illegal aliens over U.S. citizens in many policies, and now with votes like this, they're seeing support for regimes that commit heinous acts. It's hard to square that with any serious commitment to humanitarian values or protecting people.

53 Dems vote against declaring Iran a state sponsor of terror

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley among 53 Democrats opposing nonbinding House measure

"It added that Iran "poses a direct and persistent threat to the United States and is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American citizens," citing the Pentagon as saying that "Iranian-backed proxy militias are responsible for the deaths of at least 603 U.S. service members in Iraq -- roughly one in every six American combat fatalities".

Do you mean like shutting down USAID?

Goodness! I could have sworn Trump did that.

Knowing all that history of plots against USA leaders and citizens, how do these 53 Dems justify voting against even a nonbinding resolution calling Iran the top state sponsor of terror? At what point does refusing to condemn a regime that's actively trying to kill Americans cross into giving aid and comfort to enemies?

The Constitution defines treason pretty clearly in Article III, levying war or adhering to enemies by aiding them. This vote sure smells like the latter, putting partisan games ahead of national security and American lives.

It's one thing to disagree on policy, but enabling a terrorist sponsoring state like this? That's betrayal of the oath to defend the Constitution. Far left Progressives need to explain how this squares with protecting the country,oh wait they prefer foreign nationals over citizens.

Far left “progressives” are a threat to the western world.

They hate themselves probably with good reason. But they think their contemporaries and countrymen are as pathetic as they are hence they try to destroy those guys

Leftism is the cancer of western civilization. Thankfully USA has the cure but Europe has starmer and the eu so they are finished until the right take over

Huh? Who woulda thought...

Since taking office in January 2025, the Trump administration has threatened global humanitarian efforts through sweeping cuts to foreign aid, executive orders freezing funding, and the expansion of restrictive policies like the Global Gag Rule. These actions, targeting USAID and UN agencies, risk causing over 14 million additional deaths by 2030, according to The Lancet report, BBC.

Building on the Iranian regime's deadly track record, these aren't abstract threats,they're documented, court proven attempts by a foreign government to murder the U.S. president and citizens right here at home.

Look no further than past attempts and the fresh conviction of IRGC operative Asif Merchant for terrorism* and murder for hire in a plot targeting politicians, including Trump. This is clearly a treasonous act by those 53 Dems, adhering to our enemies and giving them aid and comfort, as the Constitution puts it.

Voting against a simple resolution to label Iran the top state sponsor of terror, with all this staring them in the face, it's enabling a regime that's out for American blood.

These far left radical dems swore an oath to protect the country, but actions speak louder.

counting lives lost to policy, Iran's proxies and direct actions rack up thousands yearly in real time. Progressives claim moral high ground on global humanitarianism, but downplaying or refusing to condemn terror sponsors while hyper focusing on aid cuts (which target inefficiency, not malice) reeks of hypocrisy. Prioritizing ideology over condemning actual killers!!!! That's the real threat to vulnerable people everywhere. The international left has lost the plot .

Nobody who might contradict him is.

"threats,they're documented, court proven attempts by a foreign government to murder the U.S. president and citizens right here at home."

Maybe he missed what just happened in Iran.

And another one, "Iranian-backed proxy militias are responsible for the deaths of at least 603 U.S. service members in Iraq "

AOC & other far left activist politicians' support for Iran's terror & their proxies' efforts has been crystallized even before the October 7, 2023 Hamas attacks on Israel. That's when the far left Squad AOC, Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley, and their allies,ramped up their criticism of Israel while downplaying or excusing the roles of Iran funded groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis.

Progressives claim to fight for human rights, but prioritizing ceasefires that let terrorists regroup while ignoring Iran's nuclear push and terror funding? That's not humanitarianism, it's aiding the cancer you mentioned, undermining Western security from within.

It's the same pattern,Downplay or defend authoritarian leftists abroad (Maduro, Iran's regime via those terror sponsor votes), while pushing policies that flood the U.S. with unchecked migration,often from the very countries their anti intervention stances help perpetuate chaos in. Self hating destruction of the West, as you said, , it's toxicity is insane. And Starmer's polling reflects on his & labors downfall.

USAID cuts may lead to more than 14 million deaths globally, including 4.5 million children under 5 by 2030, researchers say

Projections by the researchers show that if USAID cuts continue, more than 14 million additional deaths could occur by 2030, including over 4.5 million among children under 5, or about 700,000 extra child deaths per year.

The figures reflect the projected consequences of halting funding not only for health services but also for critical sectors such as nutrition, education, water and sanitation and humanitarian relief.

The study warns that the impact of USAID cuts could extend beyond the agency’s own programs: international donors may also reduce their commitments, further weakening service delivery in countries already dependent on external support.

Thousands have been killed in Iran.

Its very sad to see the international left with so much hatred in their support of ideologies that kill their own citizens by the thousands , it goes against democracies values.

AOC & others not sticking up for Americans that have been killed by terrorist cast a dark shadow over her political aspirations.

it's wild,refusing to reaffirm a decades old State Department designation (Iran's been on the list since 1984) while the regime's actively threatening Americans.

Coverage is mostly on right leaning outlets like Fox, NY Post, Breitbart, Jewish Insider, and some congressional sites/GovTrack, but crickets from CNN, MSNBC, NYT, etc. Classic selective silence.

That was quite amusing considering the fact that Trump in his elimination of USAID deprived tens of thousands of starving children and people in need of life-saving medication, in order to save about the same amount he's spending on two hours worth of missiles right now in Iran.

Good point ,international leftist deflecting from the post of 53 radical dems voting no ,while sane usa legislators made a historical condemnation in 1984 .Kinda goes along with the extremists far left wing of the party while the majority of their party voted with the GOP March 5th .

What is scary is that the Dems are plainly voting against as to oppose Trump. Deep inside they surely think the same. That's what is annoying with democracy and politicians no matter where in the world. Each side votes usually in the interest to short-circuit the other political side and thus do not think of general interest. Be it in America. Europe, Asia...politicians are mostly a bunch of corrupt trouble makers with the sole goal of blocking their opponents in public opinion. The leftist woke medias, unfortunately play the same game. Which in fine, shows why people end up in voting for extremes. Democracy sometimes has it's limits unfortunately. Sorry, no offense please.

That is quite an uneducated and extreme view.

More generally, Muslims mostly say that suicide bombings and other forms of violence against civilians in the name of Islam are rarely or never justified, including 92% in Indonesia and 91% in Iraq. In the United States, a 2011 survey found that 86% of Muslims say such tactics are rarely or never justified. An additional 7% say suicide bombings are sometimes justified and 1% say they are often justified.

In many cases, people in countries with large Muslim populations are as concerned as Western nations about the threat of Islamic extremism, and have become increasingly concerned in recent years. About two-thirds of people in Nigeria (68%) and Lebanon (67%) said in 2016 that they are very concerned about Islamic extremism in their country, both up significantly since 2013.

Uneducated leftie propaganda,

Islam is a religion of conquest, infiltrate a country, become the majority, kill all others.

My pals parents left Nigeria in the 1960s to move to the UK because of Muslim oppression of Christians.

When asked about 53 far left dems voting no on Iran as the number 1 sponsor of terror in the world the guest says "they work with the Marxist jihadist axis against America".

Its beyond appeasement , "its the enemy from within" ,"Its un American".

As a American I would agree with the statement by the guest and take it a step further its treasonous by giving aid & comfort to the enemy.

Aoc once considered/supported by the international & domestic left as a contender for the White House and the other Squad members are doubling down on 2024 appeasement of terror,now recently just gets reinforced by them not following with the majority in their party.

The Squad's pattern of downplaying or excusing Iran backed terror groups like Hamas has been on full display since the October 7, 2023 attacks, as highlighted in this ABC News/538 report from late 2023 showing how their views on Israel fueled major primary challenges in 2024.

Lets hope they get what is deserving of politicians who support regimes who kill their own American citizens, condemnation and losses in their voting districts.

The USA, the land of cognitive dissonance, where the Christian Bible and Hebrew Torah are misinterpreted and distorted, seeming more like the words of Satan than of God.

Where the Ten Commandments are not followed or enforced.

Where basic humanity, as preached by Jesus, has been dismissed as woke culture.

My guess is that the vast majority of Americans who have a Christian Bible or Torah have never opened the books, let alone read any of the teachings.

American Idiots (thank you Green Day) or American Ignorance, or both?

AOC & 52 Dems, including the radical Squad members, have absolutely lost the plot when you stack their vote against the Oath of Office every congressman swears to uphold. That oath demands they support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, bearing true faith without evasion,yet here they are refusing to even symbolically call out Iran, a regime that's been chanting Death to America,funding proxies that killed over 600 U.S. troops, and plotting to assassinate the president and other politicians on my countries soil.

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God"
