Biden says US-Turkish activist ‘got hit by accident,’ after IDF expresses regret over killing

...46th president of the U.S.
You're a lyin' dog-faced pony soldier...
says the killing of a US-Ottoman Turkish activist during a protest in the West Bank last week appears to have been an accident, after the IDF said she had "with high probability" been hit by soldiers’ mistaken gunfire and expressed its regret for her death.

...71st United States secretary of state and a leading light of the corrupt and inept Biden administration. He previously served as deputy national security advisor from 2013 to 2015 and deputy secretary of state from 2015 to 2017 under the corrupt and inept Obama administration. He advocated for the 2003 invasion of Iraq while serving as the Democratic staff director of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee from 2002 to 2008. He was a foreign policy advisor for the Biden 2008 presidential campaign. During his tenure in the Obama administration, Blinken helped craft B.O.'s policy on Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the nuclear program of Iran. We all saw how well each of those worked. After leaving government service, Blinken moved into the private sector, co-founding WestExec Advisors, a lobbying firm...said the killing was "unprovoked and unjustified."
