Bernie Sanders and some members of the far-left ‘ Squad ’ are calling on U.S. sanctions on Iran to be lifted during the coronavirus crisis .
A letter was sent to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin Tuesday , signed by Sanders , Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar , and more than 30 other lawmakers .
The letter demands that the Trump administration “ suspend sweeping U.S. sanctions on Iran that are hindering the country ’ s response to its massive coronavirus outbreak.
” AOC took to social media , retweeting an article that said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to suspend sanctions on Iran … despite … Trump ’ s claims of having made enough humanitarian concessions.

Bernie Sanders and some members of the far-left ‘Squad’ are calling on U.S. sanctions on Iran to be lifted during the coronavirus crisis.
A letter was sent to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin Tuesday, signed by Sanders, Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar, and more than 30 other lawmakers.
The letter demands that the Trump administration “suspend sweeping U.S. sanctions on Iran that are hindering the country’s response to its massive coronavirus outbreak.”
A notion practically parroting the regime itself.
Squad Goals
AOC took to social media, retweeting an article that said the goal of the group was “to suspend sanctions on Iran … despite … Trump’s claims of having made enough humanitarian concessions.”
Omar also hopped on Twitter to write that she “led the letter” and that “these sanctions aren’t changing the behavior of the Iranian government, but directly punishing innocent civilians.”
“Allowing this crisis to become more dire in Iran threatens significant harm not only to the people of Iran but also to people in the United States and around the world,” the group’s letter reads.
If Iranian leaders wrote the letter themselves, it would hardly read any differently.
Let’s instead ask Iran to cancel all terrorism during this crisis. And cancel killing Americans in Iraq during this crisis. Humanitarian aid is exempted in U.S. sanctions frameworks, including for Iran. Additionally Ayatollah Khamanei refused America’s offer of COVID-19 aid. https://t.co/4rdZvWlCCe — Omar Qudrat (@omarqudrat1) March 31, 2020

Bad Idea
Surprisingly, not everybody is on board with lifting sanctions on a terrorist regime and hoping that any economic fruit being born out will be shared with the suffering people.
Foreign Policy Magazine writes that the coronavirus is “absolutely no excuse to lift sanctions on Iran,” referring to any such action as “pandering to a brutal regime.”
“Iran’s clerical dictatorship cares more about its own survival than it cares about the welfare of the Iranian people.”
The rogue regime has also failed to provide accurate numbers in the coronavirus plight, much as China has done. How is economic relief going to be foisted upon the people if they continually diminish the crisis at hand?

Pompeo Says Maybe
Highlighting the aforementioned question, Iran has a well-documented record of diverting humanitarian goods to fund its terrorist operations.
“The trouble with leniency on Iranian sanctions,” Clarion Project writer, Shireen Qudosi explains, “is that Iran has been comparably complicit in secrecy and silencing of the true impact coronavirus has had on the country.”
“Leniency also does nothing to hold Iranian accountable for their conduct, domestically or internationally.”
3. The 32 members of Congress — including @Ilhan Omar — are not humanitarian good will agents. They are equal opportunists in human suffering, not realizing that steadfast accountability and consistency is key in dealing with rogue players. — Shireen Qudosi (@ShireenQudosi) April 1, 2020
Pompeo, for his part, has expressed a willingness to review the sanctions.
Via the Independent:
“We evaluate all of our policies constantly, so the answer is – would we ever rethink? – Of course.” He added: “The United States understands this is a humanitarian challenge, a humanitarian crisis, and we are deeply committed to ensuring that humanitarian assistance gets to the people of those countries. We care more often about the people in those countries than their own leaders do.”
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani claimed in early January that President Trump’s strict sanctions cost his country $200 billion, effectively wiping out assets provided by the Obama administration.

Today , Reiner not only accused Trump of having a “ mental illness , ” he also accused him of “ killing people.

Once one of the most respected entertainers in Hollywood , Reiner has effectively destroyed his reputation in the eyes of half of America @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Over the past four years , Reiner has shown that there is absolutely no limit to what he will accuse Trump of just to fuel his own radically liberal agenda .
You might recall that it was just two days ago that Reiner accused Trump of being an accessory to murder .
“ I ’ m not a lawyer , but it seems to me if you ’ re the most influential person in America and you tell the public that a deadly viral pandemic is a hoax & countless citizens accept that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ themselves then end up dead , you might be an accessory , ” Reiner wrote .
Reiner also accused Trump of murder last week , when he tweeted that the president was “ causing people in NY to DIE.
” I don ’ t know about you , but those tweets don ’ t sound very mentally stable to me !
Our nation is currently dealing with a pandemic that has killed over 3,000 people , so now is not the time for Reiner to be throwing politically-fueled hate at the president .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ platform to call for unity in this time of great crisis .
Unfortunately , Reiner and many other leftists are so full of hate that they can ’ t see a pathway through this pandemic that doesn ’ t involve attacking Trump and other Republicans : they would rather see our country fall to coronavirus than see Trump successfully stop the pandemic .

Reiner also accused Trump of murder last week, when he tweeted that the president was “causing people in NY to DIE.”
There’s no other way to put this: Donald Trump is causing people in NY to DIE. — Rob Reiner (@robreiner) March 24, 2020
I don’t know about you, but those tweets don’t sound very mentally stable to me!
Our nation is currently dealing with a pandemic that has killed over 3,000 people, so now is not the time for Reiner to be throwing politically-fueled hate at the president. Instead, he should be using his platform to call for unity in this time of great crisis.
Unfortunately, Reiner and many other leftists are so full of hate that they can’t see a pathway through this pandemic that doesn’t involve attacking Trump and other Republicans: they would rather see our country fall to coronavirus than see Trump successfully stop the pandemic.

Alec Baldwin Outrageously Claims ‘The Virus In The U.S. Began In January Of 2017’ When Trump Took Office

Hollywood star Alec Baldwin took his Trump Derangement Syndrome to a whole new level today when he claimed that America has been infected with a virus since Donald Trump took office , a heartless comment given the fact that the U.S. is currently battling the coronavirus pandemic that has already killed more than 3,000 people in the nation .
“ The virus in the US began in January of 2017 .
The vaccine arrives in November , ” Baldwin tweeted on Tuesday morning .
This isn ’ t the first time that Baldwin has compared Trump to COVID-19 .
Back @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wreaking havoc on the rest of the world , he tweeted , “ The pandemic that threatens the world is Trump.
” Baldwin has long been one of the most anti-Trump people in Hollywood , which is ironic given the fact that the president almost single-handedly revitalized Baldwin ’ s career .
He was effectively a has-been before he started portraying Trump on “ Saturday Night Live , ” so if anyone should be rooting for him to remain in office , it ’ s Baldwin .
Then again , Baldwin has been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for decades , and he has lost all touch with what real Americans need in a president .
He has also likely gone into full panic mode over reports that Trump ’ s approval ratings have actually shot up to 49 percent since the start of the coronavirus pandemic .
Gallop polling shows that 60 percent of Independents support the way Trump has handled the coronavirus crisis , and a Washington Post/ABC News poll states that most Americans think Trump is handling the pandemic better than Democratic presidential front-runner Joe Biden would have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump will have no trouble getting reelected in November once this crisis is over .
Because of this , you can expect increasingly deranged attacks on Trump from liberals like Baldwin in the months to come .

I’m working on a bill to do that.https://t.co/uqO3BwVldN — Adam Schiff (@RepAdamSchiff) April 1, 2020
RELATED: Schiff Wants 9/11-Style Commission to Investigate Trump Administration’s Response to Coronavirus
We all know where this is going. Does anyone think the Democrats won’t simply use both the commission and the committee to attack the President for doing all he can to slow the outbreak of the Chinese coronavirus? Just like impeachment, this is going to end up as a partisan attack on the President, most likely led by Pelosi, Schumer, and Schiff – all working together to batter the deaths of American citizens over the head of President Trump for political pointscoring.

On Wednesday , Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said President Trump is displaying an “ epic level of negligence and incompetence that is costing human lives ” during the coronavirus pandemic and appeared to believe people are dying unnecessarily because the president ignored scientists .

“ We either would have gone into lockdown earlier in some circumstances or we would have started producing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are now .
” “ We would have invoked the Defense Production Act , but because Trump didn ’ t do that early enough , now we ’ re scrambling , ” she continued .
“ And everything that is happening is happening late .
And every decision that we make late means that people are dying unnecessarily.
” Ocasio-Cortez ’ s comments seem to be part of Democrat groupthink at the moment , as they are similar to what House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said earlier in the week .
“ What the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was deadly .
His delaying of getting equipment to where — it continues — his delay in getting equipment to where it ’ s needed is deadly , ” Pelosi told CNN ’ s Jake Tapper on Sunday .
It should be noted that when President Trump did take the early action of banning travel to the U.S. from China , Democrats called the move “ racist.
” AOC seems to want to have it both ways .
On March 10 she said “ People are literally not patroning Chinese restaurants they ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ straight-up racism around the coronavirus.

“ They are dying due to incompetence .
They are dying due to poor decision making .
They are dying due to a lack of listening to scientists and doctors , and they ’ re dying due to a crisis and a pandemic of a lack of leadership — not just because of the disease.
” “ And so the people who made those decisions who decided to prioritize profit over human life need to answer for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ And it ’ s not just Trump , ” Ocasio-Cortez continued , blaming state Republican leaders along with the President .

“Yes,” Ocasio-Cortez replied.
She's so, so wrong. Trump listened to the scientists — except on the China ban, when he defied the @WHO and public health "experts" (give the latter credit for good-faith objections) and SAVED lives as a result https://t.co/dPd9duS4Vs via @BreitbartNews — Joel B. Pollak (@joelpollak) April 2, 2020

Regardless, Ocasio-Cortez seems sure Trump and Republicans deserve the most blame.
“So understand, understand that people are not just dying of coronavirus,” AOC said during the Q&A. “They are dying due to incompetence. They are dying due to poor decision making. They are dying due to a lack of listening to scientists and doctors, and they’re dying due to a crisis and a pandemic of a lack of leadership — not just because of the disease.”
“And so the people who made those decisions who decided to prioritize profit over human life need to answer for those decisions,” she added.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-04-02--Rob Reiner Demands That President Trump Resign For ‘Survival Of Our Country’

There was a time when Hollywood actor and director Rob Reiner was best known for his cinematic projects that entertained millions of people .
Unfortunately , those days are long gone , as he is now better known for his daily meltdowns against President Donald Trump .
This morning , Reiner came unhinged once again when he called for Trump to step down for the “ survival of our country.
” “ Donald Trump is a failed President .
For the survival of our citizens , for the survival of our country , he must resign , ” tweeted Reiner @ @ @ @ @ @ @ former “ All in the Family ” star called Trump a “ sociopath ” for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic , claiming that the president doesn ’ t care that Americans are suffering and dying .
“ The President is a sociopath , ” Reiner wrote on Twitter .
“ He has no feeling about people suffering or dying .
He uses these ridiculous press briefings as a campaign tool , managing the death toll like poll numbers .
Trying to convince US that 200,000 deaths is a victory .
Monstrous.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Twitter feed seems to be devoted to insane Trump-bashing that makes virtually no sense .
Last Sunday , for example , he accused Trump of being an accessory to murder over his coronavirus handling .
“ I ’ m not a lawyer , but it seems to me if you ’ re the most influential person in America and you tell the public that a deadly viral pandemic is a hoax & countless citizens accept that as reality , do nothing to protect themselves then end up dead , you might be an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is Trump Derangement Syndrome at its absolute worst .
Even liberals should be disturbed at the amount of all-consuming hatred for Trump that Reiner has inside of him .
It ’ s both sad and pathetic that someone who was once such a talented creative presence has devoted his life to launching such vile daily attacks on the president of the United States .
I can only imagine how unhinged Reiner is going to become when we reelect Trump in November .
