Washington Examiner chief political correspondent Byron York argued that the debate over publicly livestreaming Nidal Hasan’s execution is clouding support for carrying out his death sentence.

“I think a lot of Trump supporters were very, very happy when they heard that the Pentagon planned to carry out the execution of Nidal Hasan, who killed so many people at that military base in Texas,” York said on Fox News’s Special Report with Bret Baier on Friday.
