Former University of Illinois at Chicago professor and Weather Underground member Bill Ayers thinks that President Barack Obama should “absolutely” be tried for war crimes for engaging in terrorism by employing drones abroad.

“Every president in this century should be put on trial,” Ayers told Real Clear Politics in an interview Tuesday “Every one of them goes into an office dripping with blood and then adds to it. And, yes, I think that these are war crimes. I think that they’re acts of terror.”
