GOP senators to join Democrats in investigating Pete Hegseth ‘kill everybody’ allegations

Senators from both sides of the political aisle will join forces to investigate allegations that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered there to be no survivors in U.S. airstrikes on alleged drug-running boats.

GOP Senator Roger Wicker, Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and Democratic Senator Jack Reed announced the decision in a joint statement Saturday.

"The Committee is aware of recent news reports and the Department of Defense’s initial response — regarding alleged follow-on strikes on suspected narcotics vessels in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility,” the statement read.

    Dipshit probably said it in Signal. Why he got away with any record violations is baffling but getting away with 2? Fucking joke

      How is it baffling?

      This administration does what it wants. Everyone else allows it because they’re fucking cowards.

      What’s not to understand?
