No Senate Democrats Support Measure Praising Military For Killing Soleimani. All GOP Senators Supported Same Resolution About Bin Laden During Obama Years.
DailyWire ^ | JANUARY 10TH, 2020 | Ryan Saavedra

No Senate Democrats have thrown their support behind a measure from their Republican colleagues this week that praises the U.S. military and intelligence community for their work in killing Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani.

President Donald Trump authorized a drone strike on Soleimani last week which was carried out as Soleimani was riding in a convoy that was leaving Baghdad International Airport.

“Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) and 42 of his GOP colleagues in the Senate earlier this week forwarded a resolution honoring American military and intelligence community members who helped conduct the raid that killed Iran’s chief terror mastermind,” The Free Beacon reported. “No Senate Democrat has voiced support for the resolution.”

The move by Democrats, who have repeatedly attacked Trump over the last week for killing one of the world’s most notorious terrorists, comes in stark contrast to how Republicans acted when the Obama administration killed al-Qaeda in 2011.

The resolution put forward by Republicans this week “is structurally identical to the 2011 Senate resolution praising former president Barack Obama for the operation that killed al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden,” the Free Beacon added. “At that time, all 100 Democratic and Republican members of the Senate joined to support that resolution.”

It’s not about America with the Democrats, its about their Mafia. For the sake of our children and our freedom we must remove ALL Democrats from any position of authority.

Sort of reminds me how liberals will say Hitler is evil but not Mao and Stalin.

That epitomizes the difference between Republicans & Democrats

The old school dems have got to be sick of this.

They will either not vote in November or register "Independent," wink, wink.

The blacks are absolutely sick of this and I am estimating PDJT will get 22% - 28% of that vote.



November is coming, it's shaping up to be phenomenal.

Socialists by definition do not like ANY stripe of tyrant being dealt with properly.

If it had been a GOP President when the U.S. intelligence services, after their long watch and hunt, tracked down and got Bin Laden, the Dims would not have supported a resolution praising that action at that time.

In all likelihood getting Bin Laden had zero to do with who was president, and was simply the culmination in a long and continuous effort that finally paid off. But, no GOP President would have been praised by most of the Dims for it happening on that president’s watch.

BTW, who’s behind the promotion of interracial marriage on all media?

It’s war soon. Who would have thought. When Trump is reelected they’ll explode.
