Tom Cotton Says DoubleTap Strike Survivors Needed to Die After ‘Trying to Flip’ Their Boat Back Over

"Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), the head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, told reporters on Thursday that the double-tap strike on survivors of an alleged drug smuggling boat in early September was absolutely justified as they were moving to return to their damaged vessel.

Cotton began by thanking Admiral Frank “Mitch” Bradley and General Dan Cain, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, “for coming to brief about the strikes on September 2nd, which were righteous strikes.”

“These are narco-terrorists who are trafficking drugs that are destined for the United States to kill thousands of our Kansans and millions of Americans. The first strike, the second strike, and the third and the fourth strike on September 2nd were entirely lawful and needful, and they were exactly what we’d expect our military commanders to do,” Cotton said after the briefing."
