President Trump on Saturday described Democrats as being “unhinged” and accused them of "defending the life" of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani -- who was taken out by a U.S. strike last week in what the Trump administration has described as an act of self-defense against an “imminent” attack.
“Where have the Radical Left, Do Nothing Democrats gone when they have spent the last 3 days defending the life of Qassem Soleimani, one of the worst terrorists in history and the father of the roadside bomb? He was also looking to do big future damage! Dems are ‘unhinged,'" he tweeted. He did not give any examples of Democrats defending the military leader.
Soleimani, the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Forces, was killed last week in Baghdad, days after Iranian-backed militia supporters stormed the U.S. embassy. Administration officials have said that the strike was conducted to deter imminent attacks on U.S. interests.
Media divided on impact of Soleimani deathVideo Democrats in Congress – and those seeking their party’s nomination for president -- have described the killing as a dangerous escalation and accused Trump of making the region less safe.
“Donald Trump may have been an arsonist that lit a fuse that plunges the Middle East into a catastrophic war, though he's trying to pretend as if he's a firefighter,” said Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., this week “That's a problem.”
However, while many have opposed the strike, no Democrats have defended Soleimani or his actions as head of the Quds -- with many saying in statements that he will not be missed.

Cue the “Prove me wrong” table guy.
The media calls it an ‘accusation’ when in fact President Trump was just making a simple observation clearly evident to anyone with their eyes open.
On the other hand, he may not have been.
Cowards, vichy, complicit in their silence under Obama, take your pick,, this is the Dem party of today. Populated by haters of this country , this President, the Constitution and the oaths of the offices they hold.
DemRATs are still mad President Trump gave them no time to fly human shields to Iran to protect soleimani. Now future such flights will worry about being accidentally shot down by the host.
“”””no Democrats have defended Soleimani or his actions as head of the Quds — with many saying in statements that he will not be missed.”””””””””””
One person who didn’t miss this towelhead is President Trump.
As a matter of fact, he was hit at a thousand miles an hour.
>>>He did not give any examples of Democrats defending the military leader<<<
Really? Was that necessary?
Military Leader? Nope, he was a designated a Terrorist by the Obama Administration.
So far in the Dem primary Soleimani is leading in the polls
“He did not give any examples of Democrats defending the military leader”
Sorta like the “without evidence” that proceeds any story about Quid Pro Joe.

dems defended MS13 and islamist terrorists, so why wouldn’t they defend this islamist terrorist?

WTF, Adam?
Do you live on Uranus (or in it)?
Where have you been since the “military leader” was taken out?
Are you Amish?
Do you not own any electronic devices?

And in the preceding paragraph they say there is no proof the Democrats defend this terrorist. It’s unreal.
There are some Republicans who believe Salamander should not have been taken out. I like Rand Paul in general, but he is FUBAR on this issue.
Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, told Fox News: “If you see a wounded veteran missing a limb or seriously disfigured the odds are pretty good they were wounded by an IED that was designed and deployed under the direction of Soleimani.”
In April 2019, the State Department announced that Iran was responsible for killing 608 U.S. troops during the Iraq War, with Soleimani responsible for 17 percent of all deaths of U.S. personnel in Iraq between 2003 and 2011.
A source who served in Iraq and saw the photos told Fox News that Soleimani died in much the same manner as the Americans he killed.

Our worthless CIA under Bush II and Obama never took this POS/Soleimani out and let him continue to kill and maim our service men.
The survivors and the family members of those killed should sue Bush II, Obama and Brennan for failing to do their job to kill the ememy and protect our soldiers/marines on the ground in Iraq!.
Instead, they spied on Candidate Trump, President Elect Trump and even President Trump and allowed this POS/Soleimani, to kill 17% of our US Personnel in Iraq from 2003 to 2011!
Deep State Roberts will issue a clear mandate for both Iran and the Democrat Party to use the ‘Death to America” slogan.
Democrats are now defending a regime that has the death penalty for homosexuals.
Maybe someone should alert Buttigieg.
