It’s hard to imagine anyone running to be commander in chief would ever oppose killing terrorists intent on attacking our nation and our nation’s people, but sadly, top 2020 Democrats were united in their belief that killing terrorists is a bad idea.
Mayor Pete said that if he were president, he would not have taken out Iranian terrorist Soleimani.

PJM’s managing editor Paula Bolyard perfectly explained the ridiculousness of this position on Twitter: “I’m old enough to remember when Bill Clinton decided to ‘look for alternatives’ instead of taking out bin Laden when he had the chance. How’d that work out?”

It’s scary to think these people want to run the county and be commander-in-chief. If you’re not willing to protect the American people, which is a President’s most important job, why the hell are you even running?
