8:05Now PlayingTrump’s GOP is celebrating assassinations of suspected cartel members, erasing due process in the name of toughness.
Stuart Stevens points out the hypocrisy: Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s own brother-in-law was once a convicted trafficker — would today’s policy have justified killing him?
The “tough guy” routine from Pete Hegseth, Stephen Miller, and RFK Jr. shows how insecurity and spectacle now drive Republican politics.
The Rubio example lays bare just how far the party has drifted. Republicans once demanded the White House embody dignity and the rule of law; now they cheer military hits as if they were campaign ads. What used to be a moral standard has been traded for vengeance masquerading as leadership.
Hegseth posturing as “Secretary of War,” Miller replaying his high-school crank routine, ICE agents prowling parking lots — Stevens casts them as insecure men who wield cruelty to look tough. It’s less policy than performance, and the targets are everyday people.
The absurdity peaks with RFK Jr., who boasts about heroin and storms through hearings in steroid rage while being treated as a credible health voice. For Stuart, that’s the perfect emblem of a GOP that rewards spectacle over seriousness.
Tune in for his sharp reminder that justice means trials, not executions.
