Needless to say, the knives were out on MSNBC to attack the U.S. military’s airstrikes in Syria late Thursday night and early Friday. Guests Steve Clemons and Phyllis Bennis were quite unglued, frowning that President Trump didn’t gather “international and regional support” like Barack Obama did and doing the bidding of the Kremlin by arguing the strikes broke international law.

An MSNBC contributor and The Atlantic’s Washington editor at large, Clemons appeared in the 11:30 p.m. Eastern half hour and whined to lying Brian Williams that it’s early to say if the airstrikes were a sign of strength or weakness compared to the illustrious Barack Obama’s Libya expedition.
