The problem is that the Republican majority refuses, that was refuses, to do anything except sit on their hands. They are not ignorant to the fact there were extrajudicial killings in the Caribbean Sea. When are they going to do something about it?
Best I can tell someone set Hegseth straight as to the crimes he was committing and somehow that is okay and nothing more need be done. Secretary Hegseth is a walking talking war crime boss with our military. He is drunk on Trump and can't understand why the public finds Trump objectionable. It is ridiculous.
