AOC: Trump Saying He’d Bomb Iranian Cultural Sites ‘an Extension of White Supremacy’

‘The goal of all of this is to erase history’

EXCERPT:

OCASIO-CORTEZ: "Yeah, I think there is. You know, speaking about war, too, I've been thinking a lot about when Trump tweeted that he was going to target cultural sites in Iran. Really, what that really means, and really how that functions, not just in our society but how it's also an extension of white supremacy in that the goal of all of that is to erase history and to erase our understanding. And I do think, in areas where we are and everyday people are — where we see that complicity in our lives is the fact that it's something that's over there, you know, how we always have to center American lives over human lives.”
