Vice President Mike Pence scrambled to justify the deadly American attack on Iranian commander Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani by falsely linking him to 9/11 — and the media and experts weren't having it.

MSNBC's "First Look" host Ayman Mohyeldin on Saturday called Pence's "deliberate, misleading" claim a "low point in American politics." (See the video above.)

The stretch to make a link between Soleimani and the attack is likely tied to standing congressional authorization from 2001 to use force in response to 9/11 as the Trump administration works to build legitimacy for its action, noted The Washington Post.
