Removing urls from a data-frame column with targetblank tag

I want to remove url’s from a column in a data-frame. The column I am interested in is called comment, and example entry in comment is:

|comment                                 |
|:--------------------------------------:|
| """Drone Strikes Up 432 Percent Under. |
|Donald Trump"" by Joe Wolverton, II,    |
|J.D.                                    |
|<a                                      |
|href=""https://www.thenewamerican.com/  |
|usne                                    |
|ws/foreign-policy/item/25604-drone-     |
|strikes-up-432-percent-under-donald-    |
|trump""                                 |
|title=""https://www.thenewamerican.com/ |
|usn                                     |
|ews/foreign-policy/item/25604-drone-    |
|strikes-up-432-percent-under-donald-    |
|trump""                                 |
|target=""_blank"">https://www.thenewamer|
|c                                       |
|an.com/usnews/foreign-policy/item/25604-|
|drone-st...</a><br/>""Trump is weighing |

|war<br/>The war has already killed at   |

|left millions more at risk of famine."" |
|<br/>"                                  |

This above entry shows the issue I am trying to solve. I want to completely remove:

<a href=""https://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/foreign-policy/item/25604-drone-strikes-up-432-percent-under-donald-trump"" title=""https://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/foreign-policy/item/25604-drone-strikes-up-432-percent-under-donald-trump"" target=""_blank"">https://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/foreign-policy/item/25604-drone-st...</a>

I’ve tried:

df['comment'] = df['comment_body'].replace(r'httpsS+', ' ', regex=True).replace(r'wwwS+', ' ', regex=True).replace(r'httpS+', ' ', regex=True)

However this likes with me in

href title targetblank com
