Moulton: Hegseth ‘Guilty’ of War Crimes Like Nazi Submarine Captains

Pam Key 29 Apr 2026

Wednesday on CNN’s “OutFront,” Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) claimed that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth had committed war crimes.

Host Erin Burnett said, “Do you believe that the Secretary of Defense is guilty of war crimes?”

Moulton said, “Absolutely. I mean, he’s clearly behind the operation to shoot all these boats in the Caribbean when it’s very unclear that we actually have any confirmation that these so-called narco terrorists, a term the administration invented to justify this action, are even on the boats. I mean, in fact, there’s a lot of evidence that these are just fishermen, you know, getting jobs, piloting these boats, trying to feed their families. There’s been press reporting on some of these individuals who have been killed, who are clearly not war criminals. ”

He added, “And on top of that, we then have the strike where they came back in and hit it again, a double tap, just purely to kill these survivors who were clinging to wreckage. You know, it’s interesting, Erin, another historical analogy back in World War II, the Allies tried Nazi submarine captains for doing this exact same thing. And guess what the conclusion was? They got executed.”

Again with the talk of killing someone with whom they disagree. This has become all-too typical of Democrats (the death party).

They don't seem to understand that someone may kill them back?

They don't seem to understand that someone may kill them back?

Reminds me of comedian Ron White: In Texas we have the death penalty, and WE USE IT! That's right! If you come to Texas and kill somebody, we will kill you back! That's our policy!

Depends on the target, the judge, the jury, and the court venue.

The winner gets to decide what is, or is not, a war crime.

Democratic Congressman Suggests Execution for Pete Hegseth

 By Joe Saunders

It was a message that was implicit, but unmistakable.

Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton of Massachusetts used an interview with CNN Wednesday to accuse Secretary of War Pete Hegseth of being guilty of “war crimes” for his handling of the American military and its attacks on suspected drug runners bearing deadly cargo destined for U.S. shores.

And the punishment, Moulton implied, is execution.
 
“I mean, he’s clearly behind the operation to shoot all these boats in the Caribbean, when it’s very unclear that we actually have any confirmation that these so-called narco-terrorists — a term the administration invented to justify this action — are even on the boats,” Moulton told CNN’s Erin Burnett.

“I mean, in fact, there‘s a lot of evidence that these are just fishermen, you know, getting jobs, piloting these boats, trying to feed their families.”

Wow!  I don't believe I've ever heard a democrat use such divisive language before.

SIGHT UNSEEN: Anderson Cooper Defends Seth Moulton After Call to Execute Hegseth

There was no evidence any of those boats contained fishermen. No rods, no tackle, no place to ice down fish, no nets, no winches to haul them in. Nothing. Sure looked like they were delivering drugs to me.

As for U boat captains, only one:

Kapitänleutnant Heinz-Wilhelm Eck, commander of U-852, was the only U-boat commander executed for war crimes by the Allies during World War II. He was executed on November 30, 1945, along with two of his crew, for ordering the shooting of survivors from the Greek merchant ship Peleus.

Pretty difficult to argue fast boats with their cargo were ordinary merchant ships, at least with legitimate cargoes, so the whole crock of shite falls flat on its face.
