Democratic California Rep. Ro Khanna claimed Tuesday that there were no embassy protests or dead American contractors during the Obama administration.

Khanna appeared on Fox New’s “America’s Newsroom” and argued that President Donald Trump was out of line to suggest that former President Obama could have acted to stop terrorist leader Qasem Soleimani.

Was Ro doing a Jedi hand motion while he was saying this?

[TiGuy22]

Can anybody say “Benghazi”? “YouTube Video Protests”?

“Under Obama, more private military contractors have died in Iraq and Afghanistan than all the U.S. troops deployed to those countries.
Between Jan. 1, 2009, and March 31, 2016, 1,540 contractors were killed in Iraq and Afghanistan (176 in Iraq and 1,364 in Afghanistan).”

There was a huge protest in Pakistan that Hillary and Obama went and tried to subdue will bull crap apologies for our freedom of speech;
There was a protest in Sudan that damaged the embassy there and I think ran our diplomats out;
There was first the RPG attack on our diplomatic station in Benghazi and months later the takeover of our diplomatic station in Libya and attack on the CIA station there;
There was the mobbing of the embassy in Cairo with the diplomats there also making apologies for our freedom of speech and other kinds of groveling...

And as I recall there was some excitement at an embassy or two in South America...

It’s like saying there were no Nebraska day care workers killed under Obama. Accurate information, but useless deflection.

I found it interesting that neither Fox “journalist” questioned this guy’s honesty or exposed his ignorance.

I wonder if this could be part of the new Paul Ryan strategy there at Fox?

Why are such misinformed and misinforming seditionists allowed in ANY position of authority, responsibility or influence? Those who vote for such vapid losers must be close to or actually brain-dead. The representative is today's KN... "King of Nitwits".

Nina is exactly right that the appalling statement issued by the Obama State Department, apparently prior to the storming of the U.S. embassy in Cairo today, betrays the president’s agenda to impose on Americans sharia speech suppression standards in blatant violation of the First Amendment. That, however, is far from the most egregious part of today’s episode in Egypt. To attack another country’s embassy is an act of war. Now, some will be quick to point out that our embassy was not attacked by the Egyptian regime. That is no defense. Everybody was on notice that there might be rioting...

Not necessarily a lie. Many Democrat politicians say whatever they think will have the greatest emotional impact upon an audience ignorant of history and current events. Truth and falsehood are irrelevant, and too much bother, in any case.

Brave woman tears down a “Death to America” poster.

The crowd is heard chanting, “Death to the dictator,” in a reference to @Khamenei_ir.

Iranians have no enmity against the U.S. or the American people.

This is a 40-year lie promoted by the mullahs only. #IranProtests
