BREAKING: MAGA Congressman Mike Turner reveals that Republican lawmakers are "very concerned" about Pete Hegseth's "double-tap" strike and says that the victims should have been arrested and tried in court.
Even Republicans are afraid to defend this horrifying war crime...
“Quite frankly, the many members have very much concerns as to whether or not the accuracy of what information is being used is to the level for us to even know what’s happening in this area, and the members are very concerned,” Turner said during an appearance on "Morning Joe.”
“These individuals, if they were captured and tried and convicted, they would be guilty — if they were found guilty — of criminal activity for which they’re not subject to capital punishment,” he continued. “They would be put in jail. They wouldn’t be subject to capital punishment. These people are being killed, not held and put in prison."
It really is that simple. Even if the victims of Hegseth's strike really were drug smugglers (a dubious claim given the dearth of evidence presented) they should not have been extrajudicially executed. We are a nation of laws and drug trafficking does not carry a death penalty in the United States. These people should have been detained, questioned, and tried in court if they were found to be breaking the law.
Instead, Hegseth and Trump are waging a murderous terror campaign across the Caribbean, indiscriminately blowing up boats full of people to excite the xenophobic MAGA base and terrify migrants and Latin American governments.
It's time for a full Congressional investigation. If laws were broken, people must be prosecuted.
