Slammed. But they will all ignore - but hopefully Americans won't.
The Democrats don't care that this man was a terrorist. That he was responsible for the attack on the embassy. This man was responsible for many many attacks on US troops and deaths of Americans. And they are upset that Trump gave the OK to take him out. :rolleyes:

Crenshaw Answers Warren's 'Disingenuous' Question About Soleimani
At a campaign rally last week in Dover, New Hampshire, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) told her audience that she couldn't think of a good reason why President Trump ordered the recent deadly airstrike on Iranian terror leader Qasem Soleimani.
"Why not a month ago?" she asked. "Why not a month from now?"
She ventured a guess and concluded that it was pure politics.
"One of the questions I raised just right after this came out, does this have anything to do with the fact that Donald Trump is right on the eve of an impeachment hearing?" she asked.
Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) had a better answer.
"Okay Elizabeth Warren, I've got an answer for you," Crenshaw said on Fox News. "The reason why now is that Soleimani just orchestrated an attack on our embassy, killed an American citizen, and we had very good intel from the CIA, from the DNI, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. They said it was the best intel they've ever seen. That there was an imminent attack coming within days."
"So Elizabeth Warren, that is why," he added for emphasis.
We know Warren didn't miss the news about the attack on the U.S. embassy in Baghdad. Iran-backed militia members and supporters tried to force their way in to the compound last month, and it wasn't until President Trump sent in reinforcements that the mob retreated.
But Warren isn't the only Democrat pointing fingers at the president for Iran's aggression. Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA) claimed that the president's "saber-rattling" is to blame for the downing of a Ukrainian airliner that had just taken off from Tehran last week. All 176 people onboard perished. Iran admitted it had shot down the Ukrainian plane, albeit "unintentionally."
“If what is being projected is true, this is yet another example of collateral damage from the actions that have been taken in a provocative way by the president of the United States," Speier charged.
"That's such a disgusting and deplorable accusation," Crenshaw said on Fox.
Soleimani is responsible not only for helping to plot the attack on the U.S. embassy, but other strikes on coalition bases in Iraq, some of which have killed U.S. contractors.
Still, Sen. Warren has had a heck of a time even calling Soleimani a terrorist. She got halfway there on "The View," but felt the need to some more context to her answer and left us even more confused.
At Warren's recent campaign rally in Dover, an angry attendee accused her of "siding with terrorists."
