WALSH: Democrats And The Media Are Blaming America Because Iran Shot Down A Passenger Plane. This Is Beyond Despicable.

Matt Walsh

For days after Trump ordered the strike on global mass killer  Qassem Soleimani, Democrats and the media heaped praise and adulation on the dead terrorist while fretting that the president had inaugurated World War 3. Perhaps “fretting” isn’t the right word. “Hoping” might be more apt.

And when Iran began launching missiles at our bases in Iraq, these same people assured us that the dreaded – or longed for – moment had finally arrived. But when that attack claimed no American casualties, caused little damage, and was revealed to be nothing but a symbolic face-saving measure by Iran, we were told that the benevolent Iranians were being “the adults in the room.” At every step, of course, no credit whatsoever was given to Donald Trump or the American military. They were painted as reckless bumblers at best (to paraphrase Democratic Representative Joyce Beatty), and nefarious assassins at worst (according to Democratic Representative Pramila Jayapal’s characterization). Every step of the way, Democrats in Congress and their mouthpieces in the media were more than willing to propagandize on behalf of the Iranian government if it gave them an opportunity to land a blow against Trump. As always, “Oppose Trump At All Costs” is the motto. Even if it means openly siding with America’s sworn enemies.
