Skip to Main ContentDemocrat Points Out Double Standard In Reactions To Trump's War Crimes ThreatRep. Rebecca Balint (D-Vt.) went after her Republican colleagues on Sunday over not condemning Trump for his expletive-laden Easter message threatening to commit war crimes in Iran."They just want to fly under the radar and hope that he doesn't … 'truth' about them," she told MS NOW. "It's all about their self-preservation."The congresswoman pointed out the double standard in how Republicans and some media outlets are responding to Trump's "outrageous" post on Truth Social, in which the president threatened to destroy Iran's civilian infrastructure unless they "open the Fuckin' Strait.""If President [Joe] Biden or President [Barack] Obama had said anything remotely like this, it would be nonstop coverage on every single channel," Balint said. "Everyone on the other side of the aisle in the House and the Senate would be howling about it and demanding that they step down."Correction: An earlier version of this post did not properly identify Rep. Balint as a congresswoman.See All UpdatesClose
