Former CIA intelligence analyst Phil Mudd on Wednesday broke down Wednesday during a live TV broadcast following the deadly mass shooting at a Florida high school.
Mudd was reacting to the shooting, relating it to an experience he had on the field as a CIA agent.
“I talked to a terrorist who almost died because he wanted to blow up a weapon, a car bomb, and he was sent to blow it up by ISIS and al-Qaeda,†Mudd said. “And they didn’t tell him he was going to blow up the car bomb. When he detonated, the car caught fire, it didn’t blow up. and I talked to him after he lost a lot of his skin, his hands, his feet.â€
“A child of God is dead,†Mudd said.
“Can not we acknowledge in this country that we can’t, we can’t,†he continued, as he started to sob.
“I can’t do it,†Mudd said.
