Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., is ratcheting up his condemnation of President Trump's order that lead to the death of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani, comparing the killing to Russian President Vladimir Putin "assassinating dissidents."
Sanders, who was one of the first 2020 Democrats to call Trump's airstrike on Soleimani an "assassination," lobbed harsh criticism against the Trump administration for the killing.
"This guy, you know, was, as bad as he was, an official of the Iranian government," Sanders said of Soleimani, in the CNN interview. "And, you unleash -- then, if China does that, you know, if Russia does that, you know, Russia has been implicated under Putin with assassinating dissidents."
He continued, "So, once you're in the business of assassination, you unleash some very, very terrible forces. And, what I'm seeing now in this world as a result of Trump's actions, more and more chaos, more and more instability."
Sanders was one of several prominent liberal figures who criticized Trump for ordering the killing of Soleimani.

Ecclesiastes 3:3 A time to kill, And a time to heal; A time to break down, And a time to build up;
A lot of focus has been put on the healing, breaking down and building up part but the scripture clearly states that there is a time to kill, also.
What's His FR Nick?
Gee, maybe it's more Trump collusion, huh?
PLEASE Bernie keep on talking. You are doing GREAT!
Dear Democrat Fascist Party Morons
How did the President get the Iranians to attack the US Embassy in Baghdad?
The US performed a flawless direct proportional response to the people who planned, and organized, that internationally recognized act of war. A target which has direct documented links to the assassination of 700 US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan
That you infantile scum are trying to play politics with this is yet another indication of your total unfitness to hold any political office, at any level, anywhere.
Using Bernie’s LOGIC, that would make EVERY SINGLE military member in the USA armed forces an “official of the USA”.
This Iranian General killed & maimed a great number of of “OUR OFFICIALS’ with his work in the past 30 +++ years.
You cannot have it both ways, Bernie.
American commies don’t like Putin.
That’s almost across the board - I’ll bet that includes AOC...
I wonder why?
There’s a story in there that would be interesting - too bad we have shallow airheads running the MSM...
Go make some chicken Colonel. (apologies to Harland)
Clown Car embarrassment ALERT!
