Lawmakers from both parties said Sunday they support congressional reviews of U.S. military strikes against vessels suspected of smuggling drugs in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean, citing a published report that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order for all crew members to be killed as part of a Sept. 2 attack.
The lawmakers said they did not know whether last week’s Washington Post report was true, and some Republicans were skeptical, but they said attacking survivors of an initial missile strike poses serious legal concerns.
Are these going to be reviews, or will the GOP bring Hegseth in for a round of ass-kissing his patriotism, doubling down on it being totally cool to murder non-combatants, and accusing Democrats of being soft on crime for any pushback? Oh and blaming Biden for the murders.
