GOP Rep. Thornberry: Trump's ISIS Rhetoric ‘Uncomfortable to Hear'
2019-10-28
[Britbart] Host Jake Tapper asked, "What do you make of the president’s‐ he painted a very vivid picture of al Baghdadi dying a very cowardly death, which I don’t doubt for a second, a lot of these terrorists are cowards. It was very vivid. He talked about him crying and whining, detonating his vest, killing his three children while he did so. I don’t doubt it, they’re monsters, but is there any concern on your part because now there is a question what ISIS will do in response to this move, in response perhaps to the president’s rhetoric. Does that concern you at all in terms of galvanizing or motivating isis terrorists?"
Feelings, Comfort levels, likes, dislikes, emotions...WTF? Sorry Jake, I'm completely 'Out of Schlitz.' Have been for several years now.
Thornberry replied, "It probably makes me a little uncomfortable to hear a president talking that way. Again Baghdadi was the inspirational leader for the ISIS network across the world from Africa to Southeast Asia. If you can take a little bit of the glamour off him and make him less inspirational, there is a value to that for all of these folks who are on their computers or in these networks looking to attack."
Saying he died a cowardly death imparts glamour to it? Remember, this is a Texas Cong Pub saying this. In case you're wondering if anything will change with a GOP win next year.
