Joy Reid Calls Attack on US Embassy “Trump’s Benghazi” – Don Jr. Lets Her Have It
Following the terrible attack on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, Iraq; MSNBC host Joy Reid compared the attack to the Benghazi attack in which 4 Americans lost their lives including the Ambassador.
When hundreds of Iranian backed activists stormed the Embassy, President Trump wasted no time in issuing an immediate response. He wasn’t about to have a Benghazi. He sent over 100 Marines to strengthen security and because of his quick actions, no one was killed.
But that didn’t stop Joy Reid from putting out her stupid tweet

According to The Daily Wire,
While the embassy attack in Baghdad, Iraq, was unfolding on Tuesday, MSNBC host Joy Reid prematurely celebrated President Donald Trump having his own “Benghazi” — thereby referencing an Obama administration scandal that resulted in four dead Americans, including former U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens.
Reid, a fierce Trump critic, took a shot at the president for commenting Tuesday that the American people should “read the transcripts,” referring to a July call with his Ukrainian counterpart, which is the premise for Democrats’ current partisan impeachment effort.
“As Trump’s Benghazi unfolds in Iraq…” the MSNBC host posted to Twitter.
Let’s actually compare the two U.S. Embassy attacks shall we?
Benghazi:
29 cables w/security request
0 response
1 U.S. Ambassador murdered
4 Americans murdered
Baghdad:
1 cable w/security request
100 marines
2 Apaches
750 additional troops
0 U.S. Ambassadors murdered
0 Americans murdered
It seems like there is a major difference and it’s not even proper to call it “Trump’s Benghazi” because he actually took action unlike Hillary Clinton and the Obama Administration.
Don’t forget that Hillary even blamed the attack on a stupid internet video.

Don Jr. tweeted,
“Trump’s Benghazi” was handled with decisive action, like an actual leader would respond. The response (since they actually bothered to respond, unlike Obama/Crooked) was really the anti-Benghazi response!

Senator Ted Cruz slammed Reid as well saying, “What’s wrong with you? Is partisan hatred really that deep? We root for American soldiers, not against them.”
