"Scott asked Trump about his previous statement that he'd have "no problem" releasing footage of the September 2nd boat strike in which the U.S. military killed two survivors clinging for life by (allegedly illegally) striking a second time. He denied ever saying it, muttering that the claim was "ABC fake news," despite there being footage of the moment he said it. When she continued to press him after he said he'd support whatever Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth chooses, he began insulting her."
""You are the most obnoxious reporter in the whole place," he said, adding that she is "a terrible reporter." "It's always the same thing with you," he griped. Scott didn't take the moment lying down. She has since posted videos proving the president's flip-flop and also showing the string of insults. Experts in the laws of war have said Hegseth's alleged order to kill any survivors of the boat strike off the coast of Venezuela amounts to murder."
