“I really do kind of not only want to see them killed in the water, whether they’re on the boat or in the water, but I’d really like to see them suffer,” Kelly mentioned earlier than sharing a twisted fantasy of how she’d prefer to see President Donald Trump and Secretary of Protection Pete Hegseth deal with alleged Venezuelan drug traffickers.
“I would like Trump and Hegseth to make it last a long time so that they lose a limb and bleed out a little,” Kelly mentioned.
“Like I’m really having a difficult time ginning up sympathy for these guys who 10 seconds earlier almost got taken out by the initial bomb,” Kelly added. “But because they managed to get ejected, you know, a little too soon, had to be taken out in the water.”
Critics on X discovered Kelly’s bloodlust fairly “sick,” with some calling her a “soulless ghoul” and a “war crimes cheerleader.”
The Trump administration has insisted the vessel was making an attempt to smuggle medication into the U.S. and was filled with harmful “narco-terrorists” from Venezuela. However, because of a bombshell report printed final week by the Washington Put up, the White Home and Division of Protection have come beneath scrutiny.
Based on the Put up, after the preliminary missile strike on the boat, commanders watching by a drone dwell feed seen two survivors clinging onto the wreckage within the water. The Particular Operations commander supervising the operation then ordered a second strike to kill the 2 survivors to adjust to a requirement from Hegseth, the newspaper mentioned, citing two sources accustomed to the operation.

Killing the survivors of a destroyed vessel is a textbook instance of a conflict crime, in keeping with the U.S. Division of Protection Regulation of Conflict Guide.
“For example, orders to fire upon the shipwrecked would be clearly illegal,” the guide reads on web page 1088.
It additionally states on web page 239 that it’s “dishonorable and inhumane” to assault folks in a “helpless state” because of “wounds, sickness, or shipwreck.”
Kelly added on her present Monday that though the armed forces “should, umm, not commit war crimes,” she does “feel like I object to even the scrutiny of this, of this event, because it’s all manufactured.”
“It’s only being done to retroactively justify this ‘Seditious Six,’” Kelly mentioned, referring to Democratic members of Congress who posted the video final month urging troops to “refuse illegal orders.”
“Nor do I really care that we’re killing the drug boat guys trying to kill my kids and yours right now by bringing their fentanyl to the United States,” Kelly mentioned. “To try to get our kids when they go to college with, you know, some drug in some moment of weakness where they think they’re taking a Xanax.”
