A commentator defends Trump's strike killing an Iranian terror leader and his aides with no civilian deaths, calling it a clear victory over evil. He's baffled by Republican criticism and explains his own shift from skeptical Trump voter to supporter after the operation.
The victory of this president, it is so astounding. The clean— in the sense that there were no innocent civilians killed, and he got rid of the terror leadership, the highest ranking. I mean, there are a lot of— there were 8 people, I believe. His highest bodyguards, his assistant, and him. And nothing happened. He won. The victory of the United States over evil in this instance is astonishing. My biggest puzzle is not the people who hate him. It's the Republicans who hate him. You make no sense to me. I admit it. It's correct. I just don't get it. It is so incoherent, the amount of good this man has done for anything that anyone who claims to be conservative believes in. It is, it's, it's beyond belief that I, I didn't believe it. I didn't predict it. My whole theory on voting for him was He's not a Democrat. That was it. That's why I voted for him. I had no— I didn't even know. You could check. What's on the internet stays on the internet. And you could read my columns at National Review, Town Hall, elsewhere. This man is probably not even a conservative. I wrote against him during the nomination process. Once he was nominated, I supported him because there was no choice.
