Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., just leveled heavy accusations against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, linking current maritime operations to the actions of WWII Nazis. During a budget hearing before the House Armed Services Committee, Moulton challenged Hegseth regarding the ongoing U.S. strikes against suspected drug boats in the Caribbean and the Eastern Pacific.
The congressman argued that ordering the killing of survivors who are clinging to wreckage constitutes a war crime under the Geneva Conventions. It’s a pretty intense accusation, but according to Fox News, Moulton has been vocal about his concerns regarding the legality and morality of these operations. In an interview with CNN, Moulton was asked point-blank if he believed Hegseth was guilty of war crimes. His response was direct: “Absolutely.”
