'The only thing tragic about Donald Rumsfeld’s death is that it didn’t take place in a prison cell,' progressive journalist writes

Liberals pulled no punches in rejoicing over news of his death.

"For those too young to know, Donald Rumsfeld was an atrocious human being whose legacy is engineering unlawful, disastrous & unnecessary wars that continue to traumatize generations. He had no remorse or contrition for his role in the bloodshed. May he kick rocks for eternity," The Daily Beast columnist Wajahat Ali reacted.

"Bye, bi---," The Nation's Washington correspondent Aída Chávez replied.

"The only thing tragic about Donald Rumsfeld’s death is that it didn’t take place in a prison cell," progressive journalist Walker Bragman wrote.

"Any obituary of Donald Rumsfeld that doesn't specifically state that he shared responsibility for a misguided war that resulted in the deaths of 4000 American GIs and 200,000 or more Iraqi civilians is journalistic malfeasance," MSNBC analyst David Corn declared.

Far-left pundit Cenk Uygur called Rumsfeld a "heartless warmonger" who he claimed is responsible for the lives of "hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis."

Several left-wing Twitter accounts characterized Rumsfeld as a "monster" and "war criminal" for his hawkish stance on U.S. foreign policy.

"Excited Donald Rumsfeld is going to hell, but wish there was somewhere worse he could go," a news editor at Fanbyte media tweeted.

Historian Vijay Prashad said that Rumsfeld had been "recalled by the devil."

"May Donald Rumsfeld face the justice and accountability in death that he never got to face in this world for his crimes," content creator Sana Saeed responded.

"The tragedy of Donald Rumsfeld’s death is that we will remember his name, and not those of the hundreds of thousands of people he consigned to a violent death," The Daily Beast contributing editor Spencer Ackerman wrote.

“Wish there was somewhere worse he could go.”

He was already there, Washington DC.

Speaking of historian Vijay Prashad:

In July 2022, Cuba’s president, Miguel Díaz-Canel, received De los Santos and executive director of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, Vijay Prashad with the aim of “elaborating a new consensus, based on theory and according to the different experiences of social movements and countries, on the path of socialism.”
