CNN's Berman Calls Killing of Soleimani 'Murder'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

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.”

They’re using the word “assassination” on Fox News too.

CNN didn’t say that when Obama was doing the bombings.

CNN is anti-American.

Nobody civilian has a clue of the military technology we have fused in the last few years.

Trump should just come out and say it “Masters of the Universe shit, some we got from the aliens”.

Go ahead rag heads try it, we have ears on the ground, eyes in the sky, and a hellfire for you ass.

You will be signing your death warrant to be immediately executed.

Yep. CNN has also been losing their field resources like crazy. Fewer indies sell anything into CNN as they pay much less than they used to. I hope CNN is a complete loss to AT&T.

Bin Ladin is not the best example.

Admiral Yamamoto commander of the Japanese navy is the correct example. President Roosevelt authorized taking him out as he flew into New Britain.

US Army P-38’s attacked and downed Yamamoto’s plane that went down in the remote jungle

JUST IN!!!

Democrats are in shock after President Trump eradicated salmonella in the USA. The bacteria responsible for the death of hundreds of Americans after they have eaten food contaminated with poop is being mourned by congressional leaders. The democrats are calling it murder and say that they should have been consulted before this escalation in the war against harmful bacteria. Bernie Sanders said that he has no doubt that E. coli, strep, and other bacteria are now planning reprisals and that thousands of Americans will pay for President Trump's murder of salmonella.

We came. We saw. He died.

Is much more chargeable then, we took out a terrorist mastermind who was behind ongoing attacks on our embassy.

There is an Iraqi named Mohandas who was involved in the attack on the US embassy a few days ago. He visited the White House when Obama was President. I’m wondering if he has been in contact with Obama or Obama loyalists more recently. Could the Democrats be encouraging Iran to cause trouble for Trump?

Okay.

Traitors on one side, American patriots on the other.

Not surprising CNN sides with our enemies.
