Did CNN just accuse President Trump of "murder?" On this morning's New Day, co-host John Berman called the killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani "murder," before adding, "assassination." Given that the strike on Soleimani was reportedly ordered by President Trump, Berman's choice of language would seem tantamount to accusing President Trump of a capital crime.
Here’s the exact quote. Talking about the last impeachment and Bill Clinton’s 1998 air strikes against Iraq, Berman said of last night’s attack: “Not to diminish the importance of the air strikes in Iraq at the time, but that’s nothing compared to the murder, the assassination of General Soleimani. And this comes during the Senate impeachment trial.”

The liberal media at its disgusting worst.
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
So sad for them.
So when Soleimani was killing US troops, CNN was silent. Now CNN is siding with Iran on this. The Left in the US has always sided with our enemies. They are insurgents living within our borders. or so it seems now. They no longer hide it
This is from the CFR website:
“The 542 drone strikes that Obama authorized killed an estimated 3,797 people, including 324 civilians. As he reportedly told senior aides in 2011: “Turns out I’m really good at killing people. Didn’t know that was gonna be a strong suit of mine.”’
As long as our enemies are allowed to strike us without fearing retaliation, we will be struck.
Why should the leader of a terrorist organization be off-limits? Just because he has the sanction of a terrorism-supporting nation?
No quarter. No safe haven. No reprieve. Kill them where you find them.
Yep, justifiable murder.
Did they call killing Bin Laden “Murder”, when Obama did it?
No mercy.
“The 542 drone strikes that Obama authorized killed an estimated 3,797 people, including 324 civilians. As he reportedly told senior aides in 2011: “Turns out I’m really good at killing people. Didn’t know that was gonna be a strong suit of mine.”’
The Left was pissed at Obama for this, but I have to admit, I was impressed. By being a Democrat, Obama could use our military correctly (at least in this case), and not be subjected to non-stop personal attacks.
You're right... plan attacks against US embassies and President Trump will squash you like a bug.
A uniformed officer in an opposition force who directed the attack on US Sovereign soil, and who has killed and maimed countless US Soldiers and civilians.... IS NOT MURDER... Its a legitimate military target...
Lets not even get into the fact the man is a war criminal to boot.
CNN..... Liars
Oh wow!
Thanks for a much needed—and appreciated—LOL!!!
Pelosi, Schumer et al are predictably squealing like school girls for not having been asked for their prior approval because President Trump understands that they cannot be trusted to support American interests anywhere in the world. Therefore, they’re rightly being treated as representatives of a hostile foreign government.
Recall that Barack Obama took out hundreds of terrorists with drone strikes during his 8-years in office. During all that time, neither Schumer, nor Pelosi, nor any other Democrat Stalinist or their genuflecting media magpies uttered a word of protest about the unconstitutional War Powers Act or indeed, any criticism of their “Black Jesus” whatsoever.
This just in, Biden says Soleimani was a “bad dude” but nowhere as bad as Corn Pop.
