Right-wing media have continued to defend and even praise the Trump administration’s military actions in the Caribbean as questions linger over the legality of the recent boat strikes, including after The Washington Post reported that a second strike was launched to kill survivors during an attack in September, prompting congressional inquiries.
Despite these new allegations and continued warnings from experts that these strikes could be “extrajudicial killing” or a “war crime,” figures on Fox News and other right-wing media applauded the administration for “just blowing up the boats,” and said they will “vote for the government that will mercilessly kill drug dealers.”
They’ve also defended President Donald Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth following the Post’s reporting that the latter called for the follow-up strike, arguing that “international laws aren’t real” and saying they would “really like to see them suffer.”
