Episode Details

On Easter Sunday morning, while families across the country were gathering in churches, the President of the United States posted one of the most reckless messages any sitting president has ever published. He threatened to destroy Iran's power plants and bridges, infrastructure that 90 million civilians depend on to survive, signed the post "Praise be to Allah" to mock Islam on a Christian holy day, and used profanity in a direct threat of mass destruction. Amnesty International called it "revolting." International law experts confirmed it describes war crimes under the Geneva Conventions. He then drove to his golf course while the first American-born pope delivered an Easter message calling for peace.
