A State Department spokesman on Monday chose his words carefully in condemning the assassination of the Russian ambassador to Turkey and the killing of 12 people run down by a truck at a Christmas market in Germany.
He said he “couldn’t rule out” that the shooting in Ankara may have been a terror attack, and referred to “the horrendous events” in Berlin.
President-elect Donald Trump had no qualms preempting investigations and calling both incidents — along with a shooting near a mosque in Zürich — “terror attacks.”
“Today there were terror attacks in Turkey, Switzerland and Germany — and it is only getting worse,” he tweeted. “The civilized world must change thinking!” …

But State Department spokesman John Kirby, asked during a daily briefing whether the administration views the incident in Ankara as an act of terror, cautioned against “jumping to conclusions.” …Just to name the mouthpiece in particular. Eight years of this is more than enough; it’s sickening at this point.
Blame the Russians, blame “racist” white people before any facts are known, but never never jump to conclusions when it involves Muslims.
I cannot wait to hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the State Department and the CIA. I hope to see a sign-flyer soon that says “Used to work for the State Department, will shovel your crap for food”
Not just “racist” whites, but “racist radical right-wing Christian whites”, don’t forget.
CNN... Yesterday they were whining because Trump hadn’t released any tweets about the terrorist attacks in Turkey and Germany... Now, they’re whining that he tweeted about the terrorist attacks... The Dumocrat’s and their media buddies are in the majority when it comes to being hypocrites. There are definitively more Democrat hypocrites than Republican’s on any given day.
Somebody needs to take Tom Smykowski’s “Jump to Conclusions” mat from “Office Space”, change the labels on all the the spots on the mat to “It’s radical Islam”, and send it to the State Department. Then they might get something right for a change.
We’re going to be ‘jumping to conclusions’ for the next eight years, progressive...hopefully resulting in much glass throughout the Middle East.
Meanwhile the best wood in obamas bag is his pencil.
Hoping and praying Trump starts firing State Dept. bureaucrats by the bus-load beginning Jan. 22, 2017.
Also, Trump must IMMEDIATELY get DOJ's Sessions and the FBI to GO AFTER GEORGE SOROS and put that EVIL DEVIL in prison!
State Dep’t Warns Against ‘Jumping to Conclusions’
“State Department spokesman John Kirby”, soon to be FORMER “State Department spokesman John Kirby”.
There. That’s how you kick the bootlicking lackeys to the curb.
Reminds me of this: “The police acted stupidly.”
The assassin of the Russian Ambassador to Turkey was shouting-out epithets that originated with the Muslim Brotherhood. His words, out of his mouth, equals an act of terror.
We have too, too many members of this cult of terror, the Muslim Brotherhood, embedded in the United States Government.
Yelling Allahu Akbar doesn’t mean they are Islamic terrorists.......only said by brain-dead idiots.
“”Just to name the mouthpiece in particular. Eight years of this is more than enough; it’s sickening at this point.””
Don’t knock it - he’s sickening but would you rather have Harf and her buddy Psaki back giving the State Department briefings? This guy is such a milquetoast...
