LIKE CLOCKWORK, THE “ACTUALLY, IT’S BAD THAT BAGHDADI WAS KILLED ON TRUMP’S WATCH” REACTION HAS BEGUN:

● James Clapper on CNN: Baghdadi’s Death Could ‘Galvanize’ ISIS — We Can’t Stop Worrying.

● Major kill of ISIS leader Baghdadi confirmed so of course the Left is out in full force claiming it’s not a good thing.

● Washington Post headline: “Austere religious scholar at helm of Islamic State dies at 48.”

As Ann Althouse writes regarding that last item, “It’s as though the paper is honoring him.”

Though to be fair, it doesn’t take much to become an “austere religious scholar” at the Post.
