( CNN ) Michele Bachmann is comparing President Obama to the co-pilot of the doomed Germanwings flight . `` With his Iran deal , Barack Obama is for the 300 million souls of the United States what Andreas Lubitz was for the 150 souls on the German Wings flight - a deranged pilot flying his entire nation into the rocks , '' the Minnesota Republican and former representative wrote in a Facebook comment posted March 31 . `` After the fact , among the smoldering remains of American cities , the shocked survivors will ask , why did he do it ? '' Andreas Lubitz , the co-pilot of Germanwings Flight 9525 , is accused by authorities of deliberately crashing the plane in the French Alps . He died in the crash along with 149 other crew and passengers . The motive of the March 24 crash is under investigation , though investigators are looking in to whether Lubitz feared a medical condition would cause him to lose his pilot 's license . Many comments posted on her Facebook page blasted the former representative . Melissa Coca wrote , `` Comparing this tragedy to anything is moronic and despicable . '' Michael J Pristash wrote , `` Your allusion is so inappropriate and divisive , not to mention disrespectful on so many levels . Shame on you . '' Some also accused her of taking desperate measures to stay in the public eye . Lynda Anderson wrote , `` Posting outrageous things in a pathetic attempt to stay relevant ? '' Negotiations are coming down to the wire between Iran , the United States and other nations on restricting Tehran 's nuclear program to prevent the ability to develop an atomic bomb . One deadline passed Tuesday , but there is a June 30 deadline for a comprehensive deal -- with all technical and diplomatic impasses fully worked out . Bachmann is no stranger to voicing her opinion on the President 's dealing with Iran , personally telling him to `` bomb Iran '' during the 2014 White House Christmas Party . `` I turned to the president and I said , something to the effect of , 'Mr . President , you need to bomb the Iranian nuclear facilities , because if you do n't , Iran will have a nuclear weapon on your watch and the course of world history will change , ' '' she told the Washington Free Beacon . The congresswoman , who sought the GOP presidential nomination in 2012 , said Obama had a `` condescending smile on his face and laughed at me . '' She said he told her : `` Well Michele , it 's just not that easy . ''
Former GOP representative compares President Obama to Andreas Lubitz . The former congressman says the president is "trying to make a political point" by blaming him for the crash.
