Democratic Rep Blames Trump for 'Collateral Damage' of Ukraine Plane Crash, Urges Diplomacy With Iran Rather Than Military Strikes
newsweek.com ^ | 1/9/20 | Aila Slisco

Posted on 01/10/2020 2:58:48 AM PST by a little elbow grease

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."

BS.

The *He made me do it* excuse is blame-shifting pure and simple.

The Iranian regime CHOOSE to shoot down that plane. NOBODY made them do it.

They are the ones with blood on their hands.

I can’t help but wonder what Iranians were on that plane that the regime wanted eliminated.

In 1978, while working as his aide, Speier survived five gunshot wounds she received when Ryan was assassinated during the Jonestown massacre.[2]

Oh, what a shame!

What a POS. No concern for Americans/Embassy employees attacked and killed that led up to this.

Unless God intervenes and changes the bad actors, the only way to live in peace is to kill ALL the bad actors.

It’s really not that hard of a concept. The fact that democrats are always rooting for the bad actors and against America needs to be stated again and again and again every time one of them opens their mouth.

The Pallet of Cash sent to Iran by Obama was “only” $1.7 Billion, NOT $170 Billion.

LOL ....... I get your drift. I'm thinking of good old Flight 800 right about now.

And I'm still wondering about John Heinz's death ..... when a helicopter collided with his plane in PA in 1991.

He would have made a great President.

So, please explain what exactly happened to cause the helicopter with the Seal Team 6, who killed another rag head, to somehow crash with all on board killed. This was during Obama’s reign. Coincidence? NFW!

Speier worked for one of the weirdest congressman around back then, Rep. Leo Ryan (D-NY? or Cal). I met him one at a press conference and he had the look of an psychopath the whole time.

Speier is a wackjob and so was Rev. Jim Jones, a hardcore Marxist fake messianic preacher at Jonestown. His two lawyers were indentified Communist Party USA member, key lawyer, Charles R. Gary (With whom Hillary interned on the Alex Rackley Torture/Murder Black Panther Case) and Mark Lane (author of such con job books as “Unsafe at Any Speed” and “Conversations with Americans” (on alleged US atrocities in VN.

Unfortunately for Lane, leftist writer Neil Sheehan tracked down many of his “sources” and found that they had either not served, not served in Vietnam, not served in combat units - in other words, they lied and Lane lied.

Lane has been associated with the CPUSA since at least the 1960’s (and possibly earlier if it is true that he parents were Party members) and later anti-Semitic, far-right groups.

I think he his still alive.

Oh, by the way, the late actor Henry Fonda, the father of Jane, blamed Lane for sexually and mentally screwing up his daughter (after Roger Vadim has started it earlier).

Jonestown, where the communists meet the nuts who murder the innocent. Sound correct to me. A shame they missed Speier. Would have made the world a little bit saner.

..... looks like old Leo Ryan was a bit of a lech with the younger "demure" Jackie.

It looks like she may have had something like the same relationship with Leo that Kamala had with Willie Brown.
