President Trump shared an edited picture on Twitter of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Chuck Schumer in traditional Islamic garb, standing in front of the Iranian flag.

"The corrupted Dems trying their best to come to the Ayatollah's rescue," the original tweet that Trump retweeted read Monday. The picture had the caption, "Democrats 2020."





After retweeting the photo, the president continued blasting Democrats over the death of terrorist leader Qassem Soleimani in a series of tweets. "The Democrats and the Fake News are trying to make terrorist Soleimani into a wonderful guy, only because I did what should have been done for 20 years," he stated. "Anything I do, whether it’s the economy, military, or anything else, will be scorned by the Rafical Left, Do Nothing Democrats!"

The Fake News Media and their Democrat Partners are working hard to determine whether or not the future attack by terrorist Soleimani was “imminent” or not, & was my team in agreement. The answer to both is a strong YES., but it doesn’t really matter because of his horrible past! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 13, 2020



Pelosi has been critical of Trump's actions in Iran. Last week, she blamed him for Iran hitting U.S. military cites with missile attacks. "We must ensure the safety of our servicemembers, including ending needless provocations from the Administration and demanding that Iran cease its violence. America & world cannot afford war," she said.

Pelosi was criticized Monday on social media with the hashtag "NancyPelosiFakeNews" trending.

UPDATE:

Sen. Chuck Schumer responded to Trump sharing the photo asking him, "How low can you go?"



President Trump: How low can you go?



Republicans: How long can you cover up for and defend the president’s actions? https://t.co/MZElghurAM — Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) January 13, 2020



White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham clarified the president's remarks stating, Trump wanted to "make clear" that Democrats were "parroting Iranian talking points & almost taking the side of terrorists."
