Democrats, media, and other folks on the left were shamefully tweeting along a few disgusting themes today.

The first was that the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad was President Donald Trump’s “Benghazi,” seemingly wishing ill on Americans if it meant something negative for Trump. Just vile.

Republicans used to call this “Benghazi.” When do the hearings against Trump and his Secretary of State start? https://t.co/FhOaH9Tsnn — Tea Pain (@TeaPainUSA) December 31, 2019

Grant IRL: “Ooh, US citizens in trouble overseas. Not like Benghazi yet, but maybe I get lucky. Type tweet, hit send, me feel good. “Time for cookie!” pic.twitter.com/ei1Zoa92ec — MIKE BRESLIN’S CHILDLESS TWEETS (@mikebreslin815) December 31, 2019

The second was people like Obama adviser Ben Rhodes attacking Trump over policies on Iran while our embassy was under attack, when it was the Obama administration who propped up the mullahs with their actions and cash.

Third was spreading flat out lies throughout the day, claiming Trump was golfing and suggesting he was doing nothing in response.

He tweeted shortly after the embassy outer perimeter was breached, calling on Iraq to provide security as they are required to and warning Iran. The U.S. also had Marines and other contractors already on site.

Very good meeting on the Middle East, the Military, and Trade. Heading back to The Southern White House (Mar-a-Lago!). Updates throughout the day. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 31, 2019

Trump criticized Obama for golfing during the 2013 tornado outbreak, during Ebola outbreak and soon after 2016 Louisiana floods. Today, the U.S. embassy in Iraq has been stormed. Trump just arrived at his golf club. pic.twitter.com/o7b7JoqI39 — Aaron Blake (@AaronBlake) December 31, 2019

But after that tweet, media and others spread the lie that Trump was golfing during the attack, without realizing he was actually having meetings.

Stay focused. Our embassy is burning and you've been playing golf. @realDonaldTrump https://t.co/ek2ux8dStx — Brian J. Karem (@BrianKarem) December 31, 2019

You were playing golf and tweeting about the 2016 election WHILE THE EMBASSY BURNED. You’re a disgrace to our great nation and wholly incapable of executing the duties of President. You’re a joke. A selfish, self-centered moron. A bigoted, flat-footed coward. Quit now. — MatthewDicks (@MatthewDicks) December 31, 2019

Nothing like ending the year with the US embassy in Iraq under siege as 1000’s of protesters chant… “Death to America!!” as Sweet Potato Hitler quaffs down a Slurpee and a can of Pringles while wrapping up another round of golf at Trump National Golf Course. ⛳️ . 🏌️ — Billy Baldwin (@BillyBaldwin) December 31, 2019

“Sweet Potato Hitler?” Well, that’s a new one, the TDS is strong with Billy.

As you play golf, US citizens are under attack at Embassy in Iraq. Any btw you cannot claim that Mar a lago is any version of The People’s House. Its your private club. Membership fee $200,000. — Mia Farrow (@MiaFarrow) December 31, 2019

Iraq. US embassy. Vulnerable personnel. Put down the phone and golf clubs. https://t.co/DyFZUR5OrS — Wajahat "Abu Khadija" Ali (@WajahatAli) December 31, 2019

They played golf together today as U.S. Embassy Baghdad walls burned. https://t.co/xacptSQQMp — Jim Clancy (@ClancyReports) December 31, 2019

Except that was a complete lie.

The Fake News said I played golf today, and I did NOT! I had meeting in various locations, while closely monitoring the U.S. Embassy situation in Iraq, which I am still doing. The Corrupt Lamestream Media knew this but, not surprisingly, failed to report or correct! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 31, 2019

But why let truth mess with a fake news narrative?

Trump was busy ordering U.S. Marines and helicopters to respond to shore up the embassy defense.

What a stark reminder of the difference between actually responding like a president, immediately ordering in help and support, versus not responding for 13 hours and leaving people to die.
