Wisconsin Democrats are condemning President Donald Trump's threat to destroy a "whole civilization" in Iran if a deal is not reached in the war in Iran. The president has given Iran a deadline of Tuesday night to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Wisconsin's congressional delegation, including Sen. Ron Johnson, called the threats a war crime and a threat that would kill innocent people. Other Republican members of Wisconsin's delegation could not be reached for comment.
