For the past several days, the Democratic Party, with an assist from The Washington Post, has been smearing Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and the Trump administration's attacks on narco-terrorists in the Caribbean. This is part of the Democrats' larger narrative that President Trump is issuing "illegal orders" that our military shouldn't follow.
We'll start with The Washington Post article and its baseless claims. On November 28, WaPo reported that Hegseth ordered the military to "kill them all" after two drug runners survived the initial strike of their vessel.
Here's some of what WaPo alleged:
The Trump administration and Secretary Hegseth immediately denied this report. In a lengthy post on X, Secretary Hegseth blasted the "fake news" and their "fabricated, inflammatory, and derogatory reporting.
The New York Times rebuts WaPo's claims about Hegseth's orders in drug war operations.
