Terrorist al-Baghdadi Dies, But Hollywood, Media And More Split

The alleged leader of one of the world’s biggest terrorist organizations was killed Saturday by US Special Forces. You’d think that all Americans would breathe a sigh of relief and express gratitude toward those behind the operation.

You thought wrong.

Hollywood celebrities and various anti-Trump factions in media and politics found the dark cloud in the silver lining today, taking to social media to decry the description of the death of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi by President Donald Trump. They were countered by conservative voices who took the Washington Post to task for its changing headlines on the incident and the cynical takes on the operation by liberal voices.

Some of the reactions:

The president speaks like I did coming right out of surgery. It’s clear we got Baghdadi despite this C-I-C, not because of him.

So obviously Trump is very, very stupid & a bigot & may even have neurosyphilis – so it’s no surprise his speech is a grease fire in a nursing home. I only even saw it because I’m at the gym blasting my quads (pics to come). But what I was struck by is how ABC 1/

Trump: “My terrorist was bigger that your terrorist.”

He may have died a coward @realDonaldTrump but ALL living things suffer when they are blown up. Anyone who has experienced warfare, unlike yourself, would know that. War is brutal. Dogs are brave, bold, loyal, loving and healing.
