Markwayne Mullin defends Hegseth: "If there was a second strike, it wouldn't be to just simply take out the survivors. It's because there was still a threat or opportunity for them to run."

These are illegal strikes on civilian boats.
They have not given them due process or presented any proof they were “narcoterrorists”.
It’s not acceptable to execute survivors, but it’s worse to drone strike civilian boats.

The precise contours of the administration’s defense of Trump and Hegseth are still emerging, but it appears to ride on a fine distinction between the general order Hegseth gave for the attack and the specific order Adm. Mitch Bradley gave for the 2nd strike.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.

The wholesale murder of people in international waters, without due process, is a crime.
If left unchecked, it will lead to more such crimes.
This is how things work.
Letting them get away with it is the same as giving them permission to keep doing it.

“Profiles in cowardice.” Indeed.
Pete Hegseth stands behind our troops and behind Admiral Mitch Bradley - juuuuuuuust far enough behind to make sure they go to jail instead of him for the illegal strike that Pete Hegseth ordered.
Here for the tough man talk, gone for the tough many consequences. Profiles in cowardice.

“I’m sure it’s all just a coincidence.” I know this is tongue-in-cheek, but literally nothing touching the Trump crime family is a coincidence.
Remember in May when Trump gave asylum to 17 family members of the Sinaloa cartel after making a deal with El Chapo’s son? And did you know in 2013, El Chapo bribed Juan Hernandez- who trump just pardoned - in exchange for protection in Honduras? I’m sure it’s all just a coincidence.
