Again, so utterly despicable.

Here's Tom Cotton again defending war crimes.

Let's play it.

Other lawmakers who saw the video said, quote,

The two men appeared to raise their arms potentially to signal that they were trying to surrender.

Senator, why did Admiral Bradley interpret those actions as anything other than these two men trying to seek help and survive?

Well, again, they were sitting or standing on top of a capsized boat.

They weren't floating helplessly in the water.

And Kristen, I don't think it matters all that much what they were trying to do.

It looked at one point like they were trying to flip the boat back over, presumably to rescue its cargo and continue their mission.

Or to stay afloat?

Maybe they were signaling to other airplanes or drug cartel boats because they're in waters that are just off drug cartel areas.

At one point, the guy takes off his T-shirt.

Maybe he's trying to get a suntan.

It doesn't really matter what they were trying to do.

What matters is that they were not in a shipwreck state, distressed, dog-paddling in the water at all.

And therefore, that boat, its cargo, and those drug traffickers remained valid targets.

And here's Senator Curtis right here saying that...

he'd have to reflect a little bit more on whether he would reconfirm Pete Hegseth, knowing all he knows now.

He would have to think about it more.
