The Left hates America, and considers “right-wing extremists,” a term all too often applied to American patriots, far more of a threat than jihad terrorists. It used to be that this fact was dismissed as hysterical hyperbole. Now it is becoming increasingly clear.

“Senate Dem hopeful Kyrsten Sinema said ‘I don’t care’ if people go to fight for Taliban against US,” by Lukas Mikelionis, Fox News, October 10, 2018:

An old interview has surfaced with Arizona senate candidate Kyrsten Sinema, in which she co-hosted a show with a conspiracy theorists who blames 9/11 on the US. Government. Sinema separately said she didn’t object to individuals going abroad and fighting for groups hostile to the U.S.

“Fine. I don’t care if you go and do that, go ahead,” she replied, according to the audio recording obtained by Fox News.

Just two months after the interview and a month after the start of the Iraq War, she told the Arizona Republic that “we should feel compassion” for enemy combatants killed in the country….
