Democrat Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) was in full swing freakout mode after President Trump successfully carried out a drone strike killing Iran’s top general Qassem Soleimani and the leader of Iran backed militia PMF.
Democrats were already miffed that President Trump didn’t have a Benghazi like incident despite the medias efforts.
The Department of Defense released a statement after the attack stating that Soleimani was plotting to attack US diplomats, citizens, and soldiers. The airstrike took Iran by surprise and has crippled their efforts in the area. Plain and simple the drone strike authorized by President Trump saved American lives. In the face of a threat to Americans, President Trump didn’t go to sleep like Obama, he’s supporting his people overseas and took out the threat.
You would think that even a Democrat would acknowledge the service that has been done in taking out the leader of the PMF and Soleimani. But, alas Democrat Chris Murphy (D-CT) was furious with the President for protecting Americans. Murphy said after the drone strike, “The attack on our embassy in Baghdad is horrifying but predictable. Trump has rendered America impotent in the Middle East. No one fears us, no one listens to us. America has been reduced to huddling in safe rooms, hoping the bad guys will go away. What a disgrace.”

What a disgrace.

What the hell is he talking about!? Obama had US citizens hiding because he would not authorize backup for those trapped in Benghazi and it resulted in four dead Americans.
After the attack, President Trump warned Iran and the leaders in Iran brushed it aside saying we couldn’t do anything to stop them. Well, what now! President Trump just took out their number two man and the person responsible for coordinating attacks against the US and Iraq. It wasn’t like President Trump had the guy previously invited to the White House as Obama did.
But the wayward unAmerican Democrat continued…
Soleimani was an enemy of the United States. That’s not a question.
The question is this – as reports suggest, did America just assassinate, without any congressional authorization, the second most powerful person in Iran, knowingly setting off a potential massive regional war?

Then he claimed the President needed congressional approval, funny I don’t remember him saying that when Obama authorized drone strikes. Matter of fact, if I remember correctly Obama was fond of using drone strikes, he used drone strikes 10x’s more than Bush did.

The chest-thumping from this ridiculous Democrat Senator is disgusting if Iran doesn’t want war then stop sending generals to Iraq to attack Americans and stop attacking our buildings.
