Judge Andrew Napolitano has a dire warning for Pete Hegseth after the Secretary of Defense reportedly authorized an attack on alleged drug smugglers back in September.
Napolitano appeared on the Newsmax’s “National Report” show where he decried Hegseth’s decision.
“It gives me no pleasure to say what I’m about to say, because I worked with Pete Hegseth for seven or eight years at Fox News,” Napolitano said on Tuesday. “This is an act of a war crime, ordering survivors who the law requires be rescued instead to be murdered, there’s absolutely no legal basis for it.”
The Washington Post said in a damning report released on Friday that Hegseth issued a verbal order to “kill everybody” on board the boat in the Caribbean.
After the initial attack, a second strike was ordered to kill survivors left clinging on the burning boat, which Hegseth has blamed on a Navy admiral.
