Left-wing MSNBC intelligence analyst Malcolm Nance downplayed Thursday’s suicide bombing outside of Kabul’s airport, which reportedly killed at least four U.S. Marines, telling his nearly one million Twitter followers to “deal with it.”
While the attacks near the airport resulted in multiple casualties and forced most media members to brace for the worst, Nance didn’t seem to think the terror attack was a big deal.

Nance, who served in the U.S. Navy, was swiftly roasted for saying people should “deal with” the loss of lives.
“Imagine not just thinking this, but feeling so beyond shame and perspective that you tweet it publicly,” Fourth Watch editor Steve Krakauer responded.

“Malcolm, this is a sh-t take,” journalist Siraj Hashmi wrote.
“Can’t think of anything witty to say here but maybe if your tweet about a suicide bombing includes ‘hashtag dealwithit’ it’s not a good tweet,” journalist Jack Crosbie responded.
