Although some of Donald Trump‘s biggest conservative media allies frequently rail against the “deep state,” referring to the purported anti-Trump intelligence community out to overthrow the president, things appear to have changed. In the wake of Trump ordering the assassination of top Iranian commander Qassem Suleimani, The Daily Beast reports that the president’s media allies have turned to the intelligence community as a trusted resource to justify the attack.
Fox News host Sean Hannity, who often rails against the deep state, praised the intelligence community Thursday not long after the Pentagon confirmed that the United States had conducted the drone strike that took out Suleimani.
“The ability of the military, our intelligence community, the State Department, and the president making the call, very quickly, you know, understood that the Iranian forces on the ground bore a direct threat to the American people,” Hannity said.
