10:21Now PlayingDuring his confirmation hearing, Pete Hegseth was pressed by Senator Steve King on whether he supports waterboarding and the Geneva Conventions’ ban on torture. Instead of clearly rejecting torture, Hegseth defended “loosening” the rules of war — arguing that “America should fight by its own rules.”
In this video, we break down why that answer is far more dangerous than it sounds. This isn’t just about military policy — it’s about moral authority, international law, and what it means for America’s place in the world when our leaders start treating the Geneva Conventions as optional.
The Liberal Lens takes you inside the deeper implications of Hegseth’s words: how they reflect a broader erosion of accountability under Trump’s “America First” doctrine, and why abandoning the rules of war could threaten both U.S. credibility and the values our soldiers fight to defend.
If you believe America’s strength comes from the rule of law, not from rewriting it, stay informed — and stay engaged.
