Dem Rep urges GOP to consider 'who gets killed' when Ocasio-Cortez becomes president and wields power like Trump
Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., warned that while the Trump administration and its supporters may enjoy bypassing red tape to kill alleged terrorists or drug smugglers now, they may regret letting President Donald Trump have this authority.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced Tuesday that the U.S. military killed 14 alleged narco-terrorists in a series of strikes against four suspected drug vessels in the Eastern Pacific.
"The Department has spent over TWO DECADES defending other homelands. Now, we’re defending our own. These narco-terrorists have killed more Americans than Al-Qaeda, and they will be treated the same. We will track them, we will network them, and then, we will hunt and kill them," Hegseth declared.
But some critics have criticized the administration for attacking foreign civilians, whether purported criminals or not, without permission or informing Congress. Himes, a ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, was the latest to do so on MSNBC’s "Chris Jansing Reports."
