White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan on Sunday condemned Russia for what he called the "shocking and horrifying" killing of an American journalist in Ukraine by Russian forces and vowed the U.S. would respond with "appropriate consequences" once the Biden administration obtains more information about the death.
"This is obviously shocking and horrifying, and I've just learned about it as I came onto air here, so I will be consulting with my colleagues, we'll be consulting with the Ukrainians to determine how this happened and then to measure and execute appropriate consequences as a result of it," Sullivan told "Face the Nation" when asked about the consequences would be for the Russians killing an American.
"This is part and parcel of what has been the brazen aggression on the part of the Russians where they have targeted civilians, they have targeted hospitals, they have targeted places of worship and they have targeted journalists," he continued.

It’s a war. Weapons will NOT go around the guy just because he is a “sainted” journalist.

Ah, found some info on FR about Brent and his brother Craig. They are from Arkansas (surprise!) and after the Iraq war did schmoozy “independent documentary” pieces on Democrat Iraq war vets like Tammy Duckworth and others who were getting into politics at the same time. The guy has schmooze with the usual suspects, Wesley Clarke, Hillary Clinton, etc.
Thanks for posting that link.
Ernie didn’t have his clothes blown off, just a neat hole between his eyes.
The phony outrage is ridiculous. Why is the death of this journalist in a war zone more outrageous then a woman murdered by a career criminal in NYC? They want us to focus on evil Russians instead of the evil democrats destroying American lives.
From Gina Moscato of the Finger Lakes Times:
... “We chose a cross-section of candidates in different parts of the country, different amounts of money, different chances of winning,” Renaud said. “Early on, the candidates were eager for attention. Massa was working out of his garage when we first went to see him. He had one volunteer.”
Massa’s base has since grown, and the Renauds have followed him to debates with Kuhl, meetings with unions and political groups, appearances at various events and other stops along the campaign trail.
“It’s been a unique experience,” Massa said. “It’s been fun to be part of the process.”
In addition to the individual candidates, the Renauds follow many prominent personalities that the candidates come into contact with, including Bill and Hillary Clinton, Rahm Emanuel, Nancy Pelosi, General Wesley Clark, and triple-amputee Senator Max Cleland who serves as a mentor to many of the candidates....”
I'll be back in the office tomorrow.
Because he is connected to Max Cleland, and the Clintons, apparently. I doubt there would be any wailing or gnashing of teeth from the mainstream media if journalist Andy Ngo had been killed. If anything, they cheered when Antifa attacked him.
5’6” and a whopping 140 lbs. That’s not a man, that’s a Fauci.
Apparently these reporters only followed Democrats so most likely the guy was on a mission for the Democratic party, maybe to vet footage for their next campaign. That would explain the incompetence of carrying an old expired press ID instead of a real one or at least a good forgery.
a lib ‘journalist’ got smoked in a war zone.
i can’t shrug loud enough
If Russians had not invaded the country, no one would be fighting or getting shot at in either country.
/\
The simple truth.
/
This is 100 percent Russia’s fault, simple as that.

Well,
,,,TalyBiden did give his advise that it’s okay if Putin invades just a little.
I blame our
commander in theif Josef TalyBiden
as much as Putin.
He didn’t invade under Trump , did he
.
At any rate
Not our circus, not our monkeys.
.
“Journalists” are a dime a dozen in this country these days. We’ve got more.
Spot on
Some on here in the war party will not like to see that. Must not acknowledge the Ukes are using civilians as human shields. Must believe cartoonish globalist propaganda that Putin bad, Ukrainians good on all days and in all ways.
Go into a war zone and that’s the chance you take.
Elitists are just “shocked and horrified “ when they get to experience what the rest of us do. They have the worst entitlement mentality going, like they should be exempt from the realities of life.
Far less than Bedford Forest. Or Bill Anderson or Quantrill.
“So you are all for raping and killing civilians and starving their children?”
I believe he is alluding to Sherman’s famous quote re: reporters.
I quote it here:
“I hate newspapermen. They come into camp and pick up their camp rumors and print them as facts. I regard them as little more than spies, which, in truth, they are.
If I had my choice I would hang every reporter in the world, but I am sure we would be getting press dispatches from Hell before breakfast.” William Tecumseh Sherman
In all seriousness, it highlights the importance of an employer obtaining an employees' ID Badge upon termination. This is a requirement at my company.
