Media shut down after hopes of another Benghazi crushed
Following the mourners Iranian-backed militia attack on the US embassy in Iraq, media luminary Joy Reid took to Twitter to to share her hopes and dreams that the attack would turn into a Benghazi-style slaughter. Sadly for Joy, the Trump Administration shut the Iranian terrorists down stat by sending 100 additional U.S. troops and security used tear gas and rubber bullets to protect the compound.
Reid was savaged on Twitter, as she should have been. The Daily Caller has a great list of the smackdowns she received, but the best retort came from Ted Cruz:
What’s wrong with you? Is partisan hatred really that deep? We root for American soldiers, not against them. https://t.co/VOKsxWtS5f
