To be fair Conan got his marching orders from this tweet

There is no one more qualified to be the first woman to lead the CIA than 30+ year CIA veteran Gina Haspel. Any Democrat who claims to support women’s empowerment and our national security but opposes her nomination is a total hypocrite

bluedogdem · 2018-05-07T13:29:48.719Z

what are you babbling about? you said the exact same thing Huckabee-Sanders said…

Blackwolf · 2018-05-07T13:31:57.906Z

You libs need lessons in proper trolling.

CNN? Fake news.

Not buying it. No way anyone so invested in evil does not lust after leading the CIA

The same party that nominated Geraldine Ferraro for VP in '84, and Hillary for president in '16? We can disagree with Dems all we want, but the misogynistic argument doesn’t hold water.

Is their opposition to Haspel partisan and petty? Absolutely.

how is it partisan and petty? she ran a torture site… come on man

If she was breaking the law at the time, then she should not be considered for the post. If that wasn’t the case, at least she deserves to go through the process.

conan · 2018-05-07T14:11:01.400Z

But yet that didn’t stop libs from supporting their Queen with her law breaking now did it?

conan:

No way Misogynist party like the democrats will support her…being the first gurl to run the CIA.

So you’re saying the lib queens are Maxine Waters, Pelosi, and Hillary, but they’re “misogynist party.”

Stop trolling, lib.

Plasmaball · 2018-05-07T14:23:49.879Z

So you went with the stupid angle…good for you

conan · 2018-05-07T14:28:52.715Z

Oh stop your crying lib.

You guys are aware that your beloved John Brennan called em patriots.

How can libs be misogynist and worship all their queens like Maxine, Nancy, “Pocahontas” and Hillary, lib? How is that possible, lib?

conan · 2018-05-07T15:19:50.121Z

Because they’re hypocrites.

Nice try, lib. Your point fails, so you just accuse them of being a hypocrite, lib.

You honestly looks like a fish doing all this flopping around, lib.

conan · 2018-05-07T15:31:37.647Z

Come on libs. What about John Brennan support for enhanced interrogation…and calling those that done it patriots.

dantes · 2018-05-07T15:33:00.799Z

Worry about yourself.

conan · 2018-05-07T15:35:33.145Z

Oh wait…isn’t John Brenner a communist?

Now he’s a democrat but it’s same thing.

From the referenced CNN article

"Two potential sticking points in Haspel’s nomination are her past oversight of a CIA “black site” in Thailand in 2002 and her involvement in the destruction of CIA videotapes showing the waterboarding of terrorism suspects in 2005, although the CIA released an internal review last month absolving Haspel of responsibility.
The official who conducted the review, former acting CIA Director Michael Morell, told CNN that Haspel had merely drafted a cable under instruction from her boss, former clandestine chief Jose Rodriguez, “that he sent, under his name and authority, ordering that the tapes be destroyed.”

So, how is this different from Brennan?
