‘Sit Down and Shut Up’: Democrat Senator Torches AOC Over Trump Impeachment Push

Democrat infighting erupted this week as President Donald J. Trump’s decisive military strike against Iran drew praise from across the aisle—and fierce pushback from the far-left fringes of his own opposition.

In a rare display of political clarity, Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) publicly rebuked Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and her extremist allies after they floated the idea of impeaching President Trump—again—over his order to obliterate Iranian nuclear sites on Sunday.

The latest calls for impeachment, coming from what many see as the radicalized “Squad,” were immediately labeled as absurd by Fetterman, who flatly told Fox News: “Of course, no [he should not be impeached].”

“She knows it. I know it. We all know it… that is not going anywhere. He has been impeached twice, and now he is still our president as well too, so it is not going anywhere, and I do not think [bringing it up is] helpful,” he added.

The third-term president’s bold move to neutralize Iran’s nuclear ambitions with a swift, targeted strike has been widely lauded by conservatives and military analysts as necessary and lawful.

But predictably, Ocasio-Cortez took to social media with her usual hyperbole, accusing Trump of a “grave violation of the Constitution.”

“The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers,” she posted.

Her outrage was echoed by far-left Rep. Sean Casten (D-IL), who admitted the impeachment plan was unlikely to go anywhere—but still insisted Congress should have had final say in a life-or-death military decision.

“I am not saying we have the votes to impeach,” Casten conceded. “I am saying that you DO NOT do this without Congressional approval.”

But even Fetterman—no stranger to progressive causes—warned that casually tossing around the word “impeachment” for political stunts only trivializes it.

“I think if you throw that term around, that actually diminishes the severity of what impeachment is really reserved for,” he said.

Other top Democrats like House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) clung to the tired talking points about “congressional authorization,” conveniently forgetting the endless string of unauthorized military actions ordered by Democrat presidents for decades.

“Donald Trump shoulders complete and total responsibility for any adverse consequences that flow from his unilateral military action,” Jeffries claimed—ignoring that President Trump acted to prevent mass casualties, not cause them.

Vice President J.D. Vance fired back on “Meet the Press,” defending Trump’s constitutional authority and slamming the left’s legal illiteracy.

“First of all, the president has clear authority to act to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction,” Vance said. “The idea that this was outside of presidential authority, I think any real serious legal person would tell you that is not true.”

Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) also exposed the left’s hypocrisy, reminding Americans of Barack Obama’s unchecked use of force in Libya, Syria, Pakistan, and Yemen—none of which sparked impeachment talk from today’s outraged Democrats.

“For my colleagues that are now demanding impeachment, it is absolutely absurd,” Lawler said on “Fox & Friends.” “These folks are truly reaching new levels of Trump derangement in the aftermath of yesterday’s decision.”

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) doubled down on support for the president, praising Trump’s firm, lawful leadership in a volatile global moment.

“The President made the right call, and did what he needed to do,” Johnson posted on X. “The world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, which chants ‘Death to America,’ simply could not be allowed the opportunity to obtain and use nuclear weapons.”

Johnson underscored that Trump’s actions were consistent with presidential history on both sides of the aisle—and grounded in the solemn duty to protect American lives.
