Maine Democratic Congresswoman Chellie Pingree says it’s time to invoke the 25th amendment after a post by President Trump on Easter Sunday.

It comes after the president used profanity to threaten Iran and said they would be “living in hell” if they don’t open the Strait of Hormuz in a social media post.

In a Facebook post, Pingree responded to the President’s words:

“The President spent Easter on social media threatening to bomb another country’s power plants and bridges — openly talking about committing war crimes like he’s live-posting a sporting event. This man has the nuclear codes. The Cabinet and Congress must confront the obvious.”

Sen. Angus King called the post “unhinged” and said Trump’s comment in an interview about “blowing up everything” in Iran is gravely dangerous to our country.

Sen. King also said in part:

“The best result now would be for the President to declare victory (as he has half a dozen times already), cease the bombing, and let the international community sort out the aftermath. No more risk to our brave troops, no greater damage to our economy, no perpetration of war crimes, and no more blows to our tattered reputation.”

 

A spokesperson for Sen. Susan Collins says Collins also found the President’s post inappropriate:

“Senator Collins opposes the President’s use of such incendiary and profane language and believes the focus should remain on a swift end to this conflict and the prevention of a nuclear-armed Iran—which would pose an existential threat to America, our troops, and our allies. She was also relieved to see the extraordinary rescue of two downed U.S. airmen deep inside Iran, a testament to the bravery and incredible skill of our service members.”
