Sen. Jeff Merkley

“Trump’s threat to bomb Iran ‘back to the stone age’ and that ‘a whole civilization will die tonight’ is 1000% out of sync with every moral code,” Sen. Jeff Merkley said in a statement posted to social media. “To the Republican leaders: call Congress back into session NOW to stop Trump’s plan to slaughter civilians.”

Rep. Andrea Salinas, 6th Congressional District

“There are no words I can put into a social media post to properly condemn how evil and deranged this is.” Rep. Andrea Salinas said in a statement posted to social media. “Trump is threatening that ‘a whole civilization will die tonight.’ That’s a war crime. Full stop.”

“ALL Members of Congress, including Republicans who control all chambers must do more than condemn this language,” Salinas said. “They need to put America first and stop this war. Trump is not fit to command our military, and he certainly shouldn’t be trusted with the nuclear codes. He is not fit to be the leader of the free world, and he must be removed.”

Salinas represents Yamhill and Polk counties and parts of Marion County.

Rep. Janelle Bynum, 5th Congressional District

“We are in a crisis of leadership,” Rep. Janelle Bynum said in a statement posted to social media. “We have a president who has no restraint and no one around him to pull him back from the brink of consequential decisions affecting the entire world.”

“Under ordinary times, there would be advisors and military leadership to temper the most extreme emotions of a president,” Bynum said. “Now, we have sycophants and flunkies who rubber-stamp this man’s every whim. My Republican colleagues and the Supreme Court have given him a blank check, cashed on the backs of the American people. Enough is enough.”

Bynum represents Linn County and wide swathes of Marion County.

Rep. Val Hoyle, 4th Congressional District

“The President is too unstable to serve,” Rep. Val Hoyle said in a statement posted to social media. “The 25th Amendment needs to be invoked to stop the President from doing further damage to the safety and security of the US and the world. We should be called back to DC now to vote on the War Power’s Resolution to stop the war.”

Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, 1st Congressional District

“The President’s recent statements are terrifying and extremely dangerous,” Rep. Suzanne Bonamici said in a statement posted to social media. “It is unhinged for the President of the United States to threaten to commit war crimes and kill ‘a whole civilization’ if his demands are not met. The Speaker and Congressional Republicans must take action to rein him in, then get him out.
