Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) condemned President Trump’s military strike that killed Qassem Soleimani during her appearance on The View, on Tuesday morning, after co-host Meghan McCain defended Trump.

“You issued a statement calling Soleimani a murderer,” said McCain. “Later, you issued a second statement saying that he was ‘an assassination of a senior foreign military official.’ Now, this is a man who is obviously responsible for hundreds of American troops’ deaths, carnage that we can’t even imagine.” 

McCain pointed out the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps was designated as a terrorist organization by both the Treasury Department and State Department and then added, “I don’t understand the flip-flop. I don’t understand why it was so hard to call him a terrorist, and I would just like you to explain the change.” 

Warren defended her statement saying there was no “change” between her two statements, adding “they’re true.” Warren said, “The question is… What is the response that the president of the United States should make and what advanced the interests of the United States of America?” Warren then brought up Saddam Hussein being the “bad guy” and how “going to war in Iraq was not in the interest of the United States.” 

McCain kept pressing by asking Warren, “is he a terrorist?” Finally, after going back and forth, Warren admitted, “Of course, he is.”

Watch:

On Tuesday, Warren called Soleimani “a murderer, responsible for the deaths of thousands, including hundreds of Americans.”

The following day, Warren tweeted President Trump “assassinated a senior foreign military official.”
