Doug Collins called the Democrats terrorist lovers and eventually apologized when called out. Trump retweets this:

and then says this
The Democrats and the Fake News are trying to make terrorist Soleimani into a wonderful guy, only because I did what should have been done for 20 years. Anything I do, whether it’s the economy, military, or anything else, will be scorned by the Rafical Left, Do Nothing Democrats!

When they have nothing to add or new information contradicts what they defended previously, they instead rely on throwing out things like calling people terrorist lovers or suggesting that people are canonizing Soleimani as a means of distracting from substance. This is the level of discourse that they've normalized.
Hmm, so the neo-con spin machine has gone from "democrats will leave us vulnerable to terrorists" to "democrats are terrorists and love terrorists." What's next? Where can we go from here?
