Washington Post implies that Hitler was brave

Mass murderer and serial rapist Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi did not die a coward - a Washington Post columnist argues - because instead of being captured, he blew himself (and three children) up instead.https://t.co/lhKJr3mbe7 pic.twitter.com/ZE5WronypA

The reporter who wrote that issued a clearly bogus retraction:

Washington Post has issued a correction.

They believe the claim that the leader of ISIS isn’t a coward might “unintentionally” convey the impression that they are complimenting him. pic.twitter.com/aGxY9P6vJG

Clearly writing "The assertion that Baghdadi died as as coward was, in any case, contradicted by the fact that rather than be captured, he blew himself up." wasn't an unintentional slip of the pen.

The reporter was saying that he thought that Baghdadi wasn't a coward because he committed suicide.

Apparently WaPo staff haven't heard of the very old saying that suicide is the cowards way out.

That's amazingly applicable in this case since Baghdadi was so eager to avoid being punished for his crimes against humanity that he killed three children as part of his "brave" act.  He knew that the kids would be safe with the Americans yet instead of sending them out and then killing himself he killed them all.

With the WaPo saying suicide isn't cowardly that means that they must believe that Hitler was brave since he too committed suicide rather than face the consequences of his crimes against humanity.

Now of course the WaPo would never agree to that but it shows that the WaPo will say anything so long as it, in their minds, hurts Trump.
