Elizabeth Warren on the Qasem Soleimani strike: "I think that the question that we ought to focus on is why now? Why not a month ago and why not a month from now? And the answer from the administration seems to be that they can't keep their story straight on this."

Warren's comments on Soleimani to CNN's "State of the Union" were another departure from her statement shortly after the Iranian general was killed in a U.S. airstrike last Thursday. At the time, Warren characterized Soleimani as a "murderer," referring to his leadership of Tehran's proxy forces in the wider Mideast and his involvement in American deaths. But, under pressure from left-wing groups, Warren changed her approach.

"Look, it was a targeted attack on a government official, a high-ranking official for the government of Iran," Warren said when anchor Jake Tapper asked her whether Soleimani had been assassinated. "We are not safer today than we were before Donald Trump acted." (Speaking to a reporter on Saturday, though, Warren unequivocally characterized Soleimani's killing as an "assassination" this weekend.)

Pressed by Tapper whether Warren believed Trump had ordered Soleimani's death to distract from his pending Senate impeachment trial, Warren didn't reject the notion.

"Look, I think people are reasonably asking about the timing, and why it is the administration seems to have all kinds of different answers," Warren responded, saying there was no clear evidence that Soleimani posed an "imminent" threat and that the Trump administration's justification has changed somewhat.

I knew they were in am bubble, I guess I didn’t realize it’s a solid lead bubble encased in concrete chained the bottom of the ocean. The ocean on Saturn’s moon Titan.

Tapper: “As president, would you not prioritize the U.S. military killing the leaders of organizations designated terrorist organizations?”

Warren: TRUMP BAD and it’s his fault Iran is mad anyway.

Warren: ALSO wag the dog.

Tapper: Okay that’s fine. New subject.

Watch this madness.
