President Biden ordered the US Military to carry out a airstrike against an Iranian backed militia group in Syria on Thursday night, in response to rocket attacks on US bases in Iraq.
The move was Biden’s first official military action, but for an American President it was far from an unprecedented action. With Biden’s predecessors, including President Trump carrying out similar actions throughout their terms in office.
What was different about last night’s actions however was the attitude that many prominent Democrats had toward the strike.
In particular Jen Psaki, Biden’s current Press Secretary, whose position on military intervention in Syria seems to change drastically depending on who the President is.
As Fox News reports:
Past Twitter messages from President Biden and one of his top aides — both criticizing former President Trump — weren’t appearing to age well Thursday after Biden ordered airstrikes against an Iranian-backed militia stronghold in Syria.
In 2017, Jen Psaki, now White House press secretary, questioned what the Trump administration’s “legal authority for strikes” was in Syria following a Trump-ordered military action.
Also what is the legal authority for strikes? Assad is a brutal dictator. But Syria is a sovereign country.

When Psaki’s nearly four-year-old tweet resurfaced, many Twitter users appreciated the irony.
Hey girl! 😉guessing you circled back to this one, huh? 😂

Great tweet. I look forward to you condemning @JoeBiden‘s illegal strikes in your press conference tomorrow.

Even progressive U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., retweeted Psaki’s old post, writing sarcastically “Great question.”
Great question. https://t.co/79K8uyzwGi

It appears that Psaki airstrikes to protect US troops are a good thing, unless they are being carried out by former President Trump that is.
Another fine example of why the Democrat Party is the party of hypocrites.
This illegitimate administration will destroy America. God help us all.
Only a Movie.
President Trump is still in charge under Military rule at teh moment but soon all shall be revealed Trust in God and trust in the Plan <3
It’s really sad and ridiculous that the greatest country on the planet and the YOUNGEST is being challenged by a bunch of so called politicians who need many many f***ing YEARS of THERAPY the pendulum is about to swing back in the other direction and the true healing will begin for the UNITED STATES of AMERICA the true citizens and the power behind them will PREVAIL
Thank you Marion, I believe in that as strongly as you do. What goes around, comes around
Amen!
hope so
Liberals and Democrats are the biggest hypocrites of all time.
Circle jerk Psaki always will come back around to it.
Had Assad or his proxies launched an attack on the United States military in the preceding weeks in 2017? Please refresh my memory. That’s the difference between the two situations.
Biden is a doosh, nothing he does will help America.
First they condemned Trump for “kids in the cages that Obama built” but are now using again, then they condemned Trump for not having the legal authority for strikes on Syria, a sovereign country. Now they are reliving their words and it all becomes fine, good and legal. What is a cardinal sin for republicans is an act of virtue for dems. Go figure???
Jen Pkooki talks about as coherently as senile Biden thinks. They are a team of idiot’s.
Idiot Hypocrites personified ! Double talkers !
Well if it weren’t for double standards the poor democrats wouldn’t have any at al…..
Democrat attacks are noble and just! Republican attacks are immoral and criminal. that’s just the way it is!
Thank you barack!
I hope your statement is sarcasm.
Joey Baloney, I like your handel! And you are so sarcastically right! If Xiden were to drop a “nuke” on L.A. in would be done out of necessity because Republicans may be taking over Kalifornia! I almost used NYC, but then realized that that is home to the MSM, and the lies of the MSM could not be spread across America, should NYC be the target! Democrats have and can literally (Clinton’s?) get away with murder, and the MSM will ignore or cover it up! But if a Republican makes the smallest slip up, such as not leaving a sufficient tip for a belligerent leftist server at a resturant, he or she will be chastised as a rotten scoundrel that should be removed from office! I read a great article awhile back entitled “It’s good to be a democrat”. I forgot the brilliant author’s name, but he hit the nail on the head when exposing all the dishonest shenanigans democrats get away with, with the help of their two influential propaganda divisions, Big Tech and the MSM, both broadcast and print! They really are a criminal oligarchy, who’s rabid quest for power will stop at NOTHING to gain absolute power over everything in our lives and America! WTFU AMERICA! We have been invaded by socialist communists, and we need to fight back to save this country from extinction! The leftists are pure evil disciples of Satan! Why else would they want to destroy the greatest country the world has ever been Blessed to have experienced?
If it weren’t for hypocrisy democrats would have no stance whatsoever. Come to think of it, democrats have no stance that is not changeable on a whim.
Actually, I can’t wait until the dems want to start adding to the WALL! There will come a time when they reverse course on that too.
But, But, But they will have a “good” reason.
BFD they bombed an empty building Wow joe you the man! NOT
Unfortunately, Psaki and other lefties are incapable of recognizing hypocrisy even if it bit ’em in the britches.
Isn’t this Special ! Only in office a short time and already the “ War games” are happening . Bad mouthing President Trump, but in 4 years he brought countries together as no other President could. Biden in office less than 8 weeks and strikes ! No sanctions or chastising China for their crimes against the US and its people ! Schmmmm !
When your words are based on hate then you are doomed to make an ass out of yourself.
She doesn’t MAKE policy ! She just does as she is told.
Cages ok, if they are Biden’s cages…Military strikes against Syria aren’t OK, unless they are Biden’s strikes…….hgr circling “around” only goes 180 degrees…
Aren’t we all disgusted, and have had enough, of the lies, deceit, and propaganda spewed 24/7/365 of the Democrats and MSM?
Folks I just have to ask this question. Before the election on these blogs there were many Joe Biden supporters and Trump haters where are they now? Come on Biden people tell how great Joe is doing to make America great? There got to be some good some where out there Joe is doing?
Jim Dahlberg,
Really, “where are the ”never-Trumpers?” No comments from any of them.
Do you think, they all realize now, they were wrong to have voted for Biden?
Or, they’re just too embarrassed to admit they voted for the “losers”! Serves them right, but we all have to suffer because of their lame-brain decision. More & more, every day, it goes to show that Biden did not have the votes to win. There’s 100-1 in favor of Trump on these comments.
I doubt Biden is even aware of the air strike. Psaki is the PERFECT press scty for this administration, clueless, out of touch, condescending, uninformed and truly empty headed.
On Jun 26, 2019,the dems passed the Securing America’s Federal Elections (SAFE) Act, “this bill establishes strong cybersecurity”, and they claimed the machines were not connected to the internet.
“Absolute proof” Lindell TV
With the looming chinese communist patriarchy, as I walk thru stores and checked many objects, most are made in China, I can sense the tears and sorrow of the enslaved children and women that have lost their life, liberty and happiness making those objects and barely survive, I feel threatened, they are coming to get us the same way as they got their citizens enslaved.
Dear AAC, Please dispense with this click bait vernacular. Nothing happens to these people, despite the ominous terms applied to embellish their bloops and blunders (Much less their malfeasance) Thank you.
The biggest difference is that you have a president that is sometimes a vegetable and sometimes a fruit.
Sounds transgender to me
Welcome to Joe’s SH*T show. Courtesey of stupid voters.
Psaki let me see you are a liar, circle back around that one, hypocrite, you know for a press secretary your not very good at your job!
Another good example of why ts better not to have a 2 Party Country. It creates division and inaction. Rather get all Americans to come together and remove dishonest Press. A reboot is necessary and under NESARA big changes ahead for the good. Thank God for President Trump
Wow, load up on plenty of ammo and AR’S!!! Creepy Biden has made our country the FOOLS OF THE WORLD!!!!!!!
