Rep. Peter King Bashes The New York Times for Being Snowden’s ‘Accomplice’

‘They don’t care about American lives being lost. They have this narrow, liberal, left-wing ideological point of view’

Rep. Peter King Goes Nuclear on ‘Disgrace’ NY Times over Snowden Clemency Editorial (Mediaite)

Rep. Peter King (R-NY) tore into the New York Times on Thursday in the wake of the paper’s controversial editorial calling NSA leaker Edward Snowden a “whistleblower” and advising the Obama administration to offer him a deal to facilitate his return from self-imposed exile abroad. King urged Americans to “reject” the Times and to “expose them for the rag that they are.”

King began by saying that he agreed with former NSA Director Gen. Michael Hayden who said Snowden’s leaks jeopardize the safety of Americans and the interests of the U.S. government.

“And for him to be facilitated and promoted by the New York Times to me speaks volumes about the Times,” King added. “They’re a disgrace. Their editors are a disgrace, and I wish they cared more about America than they did about the rights of terrorists’ appeasers.”
