Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), the co-chair of the Progressive Caucus, proclaimed on Wednesday that “there was no raw evidence” of an “imminent threat” to warrant the elimination of Iran’s top terror chief, declaring that President Trump “recklessly assassinated” Qasem Soleimani.
Jayapal, upon emerging from a congressional classified briefing on the strike eliminating Iran’s top general, proclaimed that there was “no evidence of an imminent threat or attack” to justify the action against the terrorist mastermind, who directed terrorist proxies abroad. She claimed:
President Trump recklessly assassinated Qasem Soleimani. He had no evidence of an imminent threat or attack, and we say that coming from a classified briefing where again, there was no raw evidence presented that there was an imminent threat:

Her remarks stand in stark contrast to the statement released by the Pentagon, confirming the death of the terrorist leader.
The Pentagon said in a statement:
General Soleimani was actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and throughout the region. This strike was aimed at deterring future Iranian attack plans.
The Pentagon also confirmed that Soleimani approved of last week’s violent attack against the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.

It is just unbelievable what is in government these days.
Dang that is a lot of fugly in a small spot.
These dems have zero credibility. Had they come out swinging when Obama did the same thing then some may listen to them.
Where do they get these lame-brain, confused, chowder-head females????
A President did something. What’s the big deal?
Why do I suspect that this woman would never qualify for the special access to see the intelligence behind the POTUS’ decision?
Pramila Jayapal...
Yup. Foreign born, making laws in Our House.
Will.
Not.
EVER.
Comply.
Does this lowly representative Washington state not realize that the President of the United States can and does have sonewhat MORE intelligence information than she has?????
Sick of Jayapaypal.
Exactly what I meant in my post #13...
Let’s send this crowd on a diplomatic flight to Tehran, we get lucky.
And proud as hell of it too!
She was elected to replace Baghdad Jim.
They are elected by constituents “educated” by leftist members of the Teachers Union. And, most are raised in households where the parents are far leftist anti-American socialist/communist as well.
We have a very bipolar nation.
It took the socialists/communists more than 100 years to engineer this split but, with patience and with the average American being clueless, just wanting to be left alone to live our lives, obliviously, the left have slowly, inexorably,become a dangerous force within our nation.
This situation was accelerated when women were given the vote. Women are very very susceptible to the lure of socialism. As are effeminate Pajama Boi’s.
No imminent threat? So what? “He’s dead, Jim.”
