We knew Ben Rhodes would have something stupid to say after Trump bombed his besties in Iran, but even we didn't expect this level of dumbas*ery. The only thing that would make this more satisfying is if Ben were actually crying when he wrote this.
Tell us you don't know what fascism is without telling us, Ben.
Ya' dolt.
Ben Rhodes (@brhodes) ~ If your take is "I oppose Trump's fascism but support him lawlessly bombing this other country" maybe pause and give that a think.

It's fascist to stop terrorists from having a nuke and terrorizing the world with it? REALLY?
Hrm.
Then again, this guy was a creative writer before he started writing speeches for Obama, so ... eh.
Oh, the Community Note on this is PRICELESS:
Community Note Reads: "During Rhodes’ tenure in the Obama administration, President Obama ordered multiple military interventions without congressional approval including in Yemen, Libya, and Syria."

BUT, FASCISM IS OK WHEN THEY DO IT.
Maybe Ben would feel better if Trump had just bombed a wedding or something ...
Tony Kinnett (@TheTonus) ~ {Replying to @brhodes} What's the matter, Ben? Upset Trump didn't bomb a wedding?
Remember when Obama did that? WE DO, WE DO!

Stunning Sling Blade resemblance!

Jack Bauer after dark (@JackBauerAD) ~ {Replying to @brhodes} If you’re still letting the ayatollahs use your skull as a penile repository after giving them pallets of cash, maybe pause and give that a think.
Penile what now? Maybe we don't want to know.

Grateful Calvin (@shoveitjack) ~ {Replying to @brhodes} Shut up, Hamas.
That works.
Problematic AFâ„¢ (@EF517_V3) ~ {Replying to @brhodes} This was your guy, right little fella?



Yup.
That was little Ben's guy.
DangerZone (@HighwayToTheDZ) ~ {Replying to @brhodes} Sorry he messed up your pet project.

Condolences, bro.
