"I can't think of a better way to celebrate Christmas than by avenging the death of Christians through the justified mass killing of Islamic terrorists, the far-right political activist Laura Loomer posted on X. You've got to love it! Death to all Islamic terrorists! Thank you. Loomer said she had been informed by the US defense department which the Trump administration calls the war department that the American cruise missile strikes carried out with the Nigerian government's cooperation had been a direct response"
"The US House member Randy Fine, a Florida Republican who in November supported a congressional resolution calling for Nigeria to be designated a country of particular concern due to its religious violence, described Thursday's strikes as an amazing Christmas present! With Muslim terrorists attacking Christians in Nigeria, Syria, and even Europe simply for refusing to submit to Islam the president is showing that we will no longer tolerate these barbarians, Fine said on X, after suggesting earlier in December that mainstream Muslims should be destroyed."
US forces carried out Christmas Day cruise missile strikes against Islamic State targets in Nigeria with Nigerian government cooperation. The strikes were presented as a direct response to IS-affiliated jihadi killings of Christians in Nigeria. Far-right supporters celebrated the strikes as avenging Christian deaths and called for the killing of Islamic terrorists, while Republican figures described the action as an “amazing Christmas present” and used inflammatory anti-Muslim language. Some Republicans contrasted near-unanimous praise for the strikes with more cautious views on pressure and potential military action against Venezuela. Attacks on Christians by groups such as Boko Haram had mobilized US Christian allies aligned with Trump.
