Republicans use the "I'm not familiar with that" dodge several times a day now, and if a reporters or anchor isn't ready and willing to shut them down as soon as they try it, that means they're either incompetent at their job or a willing accomplice to the lies.
Either way, never trust them again.

If they pretend they haven’t heard about the story of the day, end the interview right there.

Based on the facts recounted by the Senator, the two do sound “shipwrecked” for LOAC purposes.
But they were never lawful targets in the first place even if LOAC applied.
And LOAC doesn’t apply because there is no armed conflict.
Term for premeditated killing outside of armed conflict is murder.

WELKER: Lawmakers say the 2 men appeared to raise their arms potentially to surrender. Why did Admiral Bradley interpret these actions as anything other than them trying to survive?
