Rep. McBride Statement on Trump’s Threats to Iran

April 7, 2026 Press Release WILMINGTON, Del. — Congresswoman Sarah McBride (D-Del.) released the following statement in response to President Trump’s Truth Social post threatening Iran: “In a political career defined by grotesque statements, this president’s horrifying, illegal, and genocidal threat this morning is among the most dangerous and appalling. “You can’t shout ‘fire’ in a crowded theater and a president cannot be allowed to threaten genocide with the United States military. Threats of war crimes and disregard for human life must be met with accountability under the law. “Trump must go—and Republicans, whether in the Cabinet or Congress, must join Democrats in using any and all constitutional powers at our collective disposal to end this illegal war and take the gun out of this madman’s hands.” ###
