Among other remarks, Trump described the event, "He died after running into a dead-end tunnel, whimpering and crying and screaming all the way."
Apparently descriptions like that were too much for former Obama CIA deputy director Mike Morell.
While he praised the action on "Face the Nation," he and criticized Trump’s response, according to the Washington Examiner.
"You don’t want a locker room kind of feel to this," said Morell. "That was the one thing we worked really hard on after the bin Laden raid, is don’t make those kinds of statements, because it does inspire other people."
Morell, who was widely expected to become Hillary Clinton’s CIA director if she had won the 2016 election, said it was troubling that Trump said he wanted to show footage of Baghdadi’s death to deter his followers.
"I think it’s all right to say we used DNA matching to figure out that it was him," said Morell. "But to actually talk about body parts and actually bringing them back with us, right, so that we have them here with us I think is going too far."
