Some liberals go above and beyond in being anti-American and making the case, for Republicans, that they are not the Party of patriotism.
Chief among them in Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib who did what many Democrats did on Thursday. Criticized President Donald Trump for killing Iranian Gen. Soleimani.
Unlike her colleagues, Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar and Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy, Rep. Tlaib waited until Friday to give her criticism.
But it is the same as the rest of them. America is evil and everyone else is good and President Trump wants to start a war for no reason.

“We cannot stay silent as this lawless President recklessly moves us closer to yet another unnecessary war that puts innocent lives at risk at home & across the globe.
“Congress alone has the authority to declare war, & we must reclaim our responsibility & say no to war with Iran,” she said.

Keep in mind that Gen. Soleimani murdered hundreds, possibly thousands, of Americans and other innocent people.
He was a terrorist general near as evil as Osama bin Laden, working for the number one state sponsor of terror.
But Rep. Tlaib and her friends are taking issue with President Trump doing what a commander in chief is supposed to do when he has intelligence that attacks are imminent.
“So what if Trump wants war, knows this leads to war and needs the distraction?” she said in her tweet hours after the strike.
“Real question is, will those with congressional authority step in and stop him? I know I will,” the Democrat representative vowed.

Her tweet came in response to Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy who also attacked the president for the strike, because there is nothing President Trump could do that would gain their support.
“Soleimani was an enemy of the United States. That’s not a question,” the senator said to begin his tweet.

“The question is this – as reports suggest, did America just assassinate, without any congressional authorization, the second most powerful person in Iran, knowingly setting off a potential massive regional war?” he said.
