Hegseth on left-wing critics of Soleimani strike: The amount of hatred for Trump is 'disgusting'
Fox News ^ | January 3, 2020 | Joshua Nelson

Posted on 01/03/2020 12:01:58 PM PST by jazusamo

Fox News host Pete Hegseth on Friday blasted the left's immediate criticism of the airstrike ordered by President Trump that killed Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani in Iraq.

“Shame on them. It’s disgusting the amount of hatred they have for this president. Their inability to step back for one moment and realize the world is a better place when a terrorist like Soleimani is dead," said Hegseth, a veteran who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, on “Fox & Friends.”

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., called on members of Congress late Thursday to join her in putting a stop to President Trump from starting a war in the Middle East as a "distraction," following the deadly U.S. airstrike. Other Democrats said Trump should have sought congressional approval to carry out the strike.

“So what if Trump wants war, knows this leads to war and needs the distraction?” the Democrat "Squad" member tweeted. “Real question is, will those with congressional authority step in and stop him? I know I will.”

The Pentagon confirmed earlier Thursday evening that Trump had ordered the attack that killed Soleimani, the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' elite Quds Force, among other military officials at Baghdad International Airport in Iraq.

I wonder why the focus on only 1 terrorist when in fact...
Brigadier General Hussein Jafari Nia and Major-General Hadi Taremi were named among the dead by the semi-official Fars agency, along with Colonel of the Guards Shahroud Mozaffari Nia and Captain Waheed Zamanian. Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, deputy-commander of the Iraqi-based pro-Iran
People’s Mobilization Forces (PMF), was also among the dead - vaporized after being struck by one of four American guided missiles fired by a Reaper drone.
I guess this is why: 2015: “Obama likes Soleimani, and admires his work,” says Arab Muslim countries should be “more like Iran”

Pelosi is almost as mad as that time Trump canceled her taxpayer funded round the world vacation with all her family and friends during the shutdown

And that, my dear, is why you weren't informed.

So, they’re projecting Bill Clinton into Trump, that this is just a distraction from impeachment.

And their sheeple will gulp it down, then exhibit strong righteous indigence. Another thing to stand against and fill their empty self-worth cups from.

What is really cracking me up are the complaints that Trump did this without seeking congressional approval. That’s ludicrous. No serious person believes he lacked the power to order or approve (same thing). Whether or not it was a good idea remains to be seen. The Democrats looked small in comparison to Trump before this. It just got worse.

My bet is that Dems told Iran, “We’ve got him impeached and it’s the holidays so it’s a good time for you to attack us in Iraq because he won’t do anything”. Uh, wrong, bucko.

Thinking back to the Bush Presidents...Didn't liberal democrats treat Bush #1 and GWB terrible with the Iraqi Wars...

But they kiss Barry Hussein's ass when Osama is killed...and Barry Hussein told us he would stand with the MUSLIMS should the situation with in the Middle East change..something about this smells...and just doesn't pass the test...

As for the POTUS informing the Congress on every move he makes is totally stupid, we know they are all leakers..and EVIL PEOPLE...so I understand why DJT KEEPS HIS ACTIONS CLOSE TO HIS CHEST...
They have admitted they have been working on impeaching him since the day he was elected.

WAKE UP VOTERS...THEY ARE DANGEROUS AS THE TERRORISTS ARE...
