Obama Used These Powers 500 Times — Now They’re Hitting Narco‑Terrorists

On The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, Senator Markwayne Mullin broke down how U.S. counterterrorism authorities have been used across administrations — and why he believes their current application is fully justified.

Mullin told Clay: “Obama used these authorities 500 times to kill 3,700 terrorists. By the way, a few of them were actually U.S. citizens along the way. And so these authorities are now being used on narcoterrorists, and nobody can say they’re not terrorists. They are terrorists.”

He argued that the same legal tools once used to target foreign terror networks are now being applied to violent narcoterrorist groups that threaten American communities, and that the classification is not up for debate.

The takeaway: Mullin says the precedent is clear — if these powers were valid then, they’re valid now, especially against narcoterrorists.
