U.S. Representative Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) claimed Thursday that President Donald Trump could be to blame for the fatal crash of a Ukraine passenger jet in Iran on Wednesday, due to "collateral damage" caused by his "provocative" killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani.
Speier made the remarks during an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer, on the Thursday edition of his show The Situation Room. The congresswoman confirmed that she had heard classified details concerning the claim by U.S. officials that the plane was accidentally brought down by an Iranian anti-aircraft missile strike. She insisted Trump would be responsible for the crash if the claim proves to be true.
"If what is being projected is true, this is yet another example of collateral damage from the actions that have been taken in a provocative way by the president of the United States," Speier said.
All 176 people aboard the Ukraine International Airlines flight were killed in the crash.
Blitzer asked Speier if she thought "heightened tensions" would be caused by the Iranian "miscalculation" of shooting down the plane.
Although she characterized the Iranians as "bad actors," Speier suggested that the strike against Soleimani was counterproductive to the goal of seeking peace. "Iran has been a bad actor. Soleimani was a bad actor," said Speier. "But there are many people in that region and around the world who are bad actors. We have to find a way to live together and attempt to move towards peace."

Jackie Speier in a dangerous enemy and must die for his traitorous statements
Crap like this is why the Executive is responsible for the military.

I hear you. This Speier woman is an arrogant, hateful, simple-minded woman.
Some quotes fit some folks so well. This one befits Jackie Speier:
“Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.”
****
Actually Jackie is drinking the Kool-Aid. She is known for being a big Kool-Aid drinker from her former boss.
How can anyone support the Democrat liars that side with evil terrorist Iran against our country?
The Democrat party supports terrorists. May their evil ways be fully exposed.

John Kerry needs a good hanging.
Since Epstein didn’t kill himself, I’ve got to ask: Who was on that Ukrainian plane? Was there someone onboard that aircraft that our superiors in the D. C. degenerate caucus needed to disappear? Were the Iranians running protection for JF’nKerry? Nancy? Joe? I don’t feel even the least little bit like a paranoid loon asking that kinda question anymore. I think there’s there there, and I wanna know.
Speier is from an Armenian family that escaped a holocaust committed by the Muslims she now carries water for.
“We have to find a way to live together and attempt to move towards peace.”
The idiot is saying “we have to find a way to live”, to just live, with bad actors, not restrain the bad actors, not confound the bad actors, not give in return what is due the bad actors, just “move towards peace” with them.
The idiot will not admit that those words actually mean - let the bad actors continue to be bad actors with us giving them “peace” to go on being bad actors.
“Why the heck did that plane have clearance to leave? What pilot in their right mind would take that risk?”
The authorities controlling the airport would have no knowledge of military actions. Likewise, the pilot probably had no idea what was happening. The Ayatollah ordered a military strike. Had he also ordered the military to foresee unforeseen consequences, likely the military still would not have foreseen that they needed to stop all flights so their own anti-aircraft people wouldn’t shoot down a civilian plane. If everyone in the Iranian military was fully trained to a high standard and followed all the procedures, then, likely the shoot down wouldn’t have happened. It is probable that the officers running things think of their military as first rate. Not as a bunch of jittery under-educated ninth century draftees.

Speaking of "collateral damage":
From rollcall.com:
This story was updated on Nov. 20, 2019
"Rep. JACKIE SPEIER knows exactly how it feels to be left for dead.
On Nov. 18, 1978, she was shot five times on a remote airstrip in Guyana, South America. Her boss, Rep. Leo J. Ryan and four others lay dead nearby, killed by gunfire as they tried to escape Jonestown, the commune built by cult leader Jim Jones.
The Ryan congressional delegation had no military escort. The State Department had given neither a warning nor protection."
These people are absolute disgusting filth.
One of the most moronic members of Congress. She’s just a rung below the wholly imbecilic Barbara Boxer (who retired a few years ago, but who arguably holds the distinction of the dumbest member of Congress in decades; but she can hear Patty Murray and Hank Johnson nipping at her heels).

LOL.... I was also wondering who may be on that flight.
We are ALL wondering who was on that flight a Ukrainian flight I think ALL of us have gone way past believing in coincidence!!!!
Communist stooge.
Jim Jones was a protected Democrat player. He was literally in bed with Harvey Milk.
These useful idiots never once take to the streets to protest Iran’s war efforts and support for international terrorism (war crimes).
8 brands of Communists marched in the US last weekend and the media didn’t mention the presence of Communists sponsoring the banners.
Theirs is NOT a peace protest. It is an anti-American (and by some banners anti-Israel) movement. They held up signs saying “Defend Iran”.
