"Like a turtle on its back, Pete Hegseth is floundering. On Friday, while Americans celebrated the long Thanksgiving Day weekend, the Pentagon chief celebrated his reported "no quarter" order to kill survivors of the first of dozens of strikes on purported Venezuelan drug boats with a meme on social media depicting the children's book character, Franklin the Turtle, hanging from a helicopter and firing on suspected drug runners."
"Even President Trump has distanced himself from his so-called Secretary of War, professing "100%" support for the former Fox News talking head while disagreeing with his reported order to "kill everybody" on the fast boat off the Venezuelan coast. 'Pete said he did not order the death of those two men,' the president said on Sunday of the survivors of the first strike, while adding, 'I wouldn't have wanted that. Not a second strike.'"
Pete Hegseth posted a social media meme celebrating a reported "no quarter" order to kill survivors of a strike on Venezuelan drug boats. The meme showed Franklin the Turtle firing from a helicopter and was shared from his personal X account. The post drew widespread condemnation, with critics calling it bloodlust and un-Christian. President Trump expressed full support for Hegseth while disagreeing with the reported order to "kill everybody" and noted Hegseth said he did not order the deaths. Hegseth accused the Washington Post of fabricating and derogatory reporting to discredit U.S. warriors.
