While grilling the president on his anti-press rhetoric, Fox News anchor Chris Wallace brought criticism from McRaven, who oversaw the 2011 raid in Pakistan that killed Osama bin Laden.
After Wallace listed McRaven’s bonafides, Trump cut in: “Hillary Clinton fan.”
“Special Operations…” Wallace said.
“Excuse me, Hillary Clinton fan,” Trump insisted.
“
Who led the operations, commanded the operations that took down Saddam Hussein and that killed Osama bin Laden,” Wallace continued, “
says that your sentiment is the greatest threat to democracy in his lifetime.”
“OK, he’s a Hilary Clinton backer and an Obama-backer,” Trump said.
“He was a Navy Seal 37 years,” Wallace shot back.
“Wouldn’t it have been nice if we got Osama Bin Laden a lot sooner than that, wouldn’t it have been nice?” Trump asked. “You know, living – think of this – living in Pakistan, beautifully in Pakistan in what I guess they considered a nice mansion, I don’t know, I’ve seen nicer. But living in Pakistan right next to the military academy, everybody in Pakistan knew he was there.”
“
You’re not even going to give them credit for taking down Bin Laden?” Wallace asked.
Trump ignored the question.
