In a recent strike on a Venezuelan drug boat, the vessel “was not completely obliterated,” requiring the U.S. military to “finish the job” with a second hit.

The Left instantly seized this as an opportunity to call it “an execution of prisoners,” saying that President Donald Trump ordered Secretary of War Pete Hegseth—“or perhaps Pete Hegseth on his own had ordered”—to “kill them all.”
