Democrats are melting down over President Trump’s decisive action against narco-terrorists smuggling deadly drugs into America, going so far as to claim he’ll soon turn those strikes on U.S. citizens.
As the Trump Administration ramps up kinetic operations against drug vessels—vaporizing 22 boats and eliminating scores of traffickers this year alone—leftists like Rep. Seth Moulton are spinning it as “murder,” while conveniently forgetting Obama’s drone strikes that took out American citizens without a peep from their side.
The outrage has been driven by U.S. military strikes in the Caribbean targeted vessels hauling narcotics meant to poison American communities. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has been unapologetic, posting on X that “These narco-terrorists are bringing drugs to our shores to poison Americans at home – and they will not succeed. The Department will treat them EXACTLY how we treated Al-Qaeda. We will continue to track them, map them, hunt them, and kill them.”
Democrats, however, are framing these operations as war crimes, with some pushing an absurd “innocent fisherman” narrative to humanize the traffickers.
? JUST IN: Democrats are so mad President Trump is striking narco-terrorists they're claiming he will M*RDER AMERICANS next ?

“I mean, look, the president of the United States and his secretary of defense are conducting murder on the high seas,” Moulton said during the interview.
He doubled down: “They’re committing murder and Americans should care. Look, none of us like drug traffickers, but we have laws that say drug traffickers don’t get summarily executed.”
Moulton then escalated to outright fearmongering: “And if it’s happening off the coast of America with people that we don’t know, just give it time before Donald Trump starts doing this same kind of thing to people we do know right here at home.”
This isn’t isolated. Sen. Mark Kelly has accused Hegseth of “Going after survivors in the water, that is clearly not lawful.”
House Intelligence Committee ranking member Rep. Jim Himes has claimed, “You have two individuals in clear distress, without any means of locomotion, with a destroyed vessel, who were killed by the United States.”
Sen. Jacky Rosen went further: “If the reports are true, Pete Hegseth likely committed a war crime when he gave an illegal order that led to the killing of incapacitated survivors of the U.S. strike in the Caribbean.”
These strikes come amid a classified DOJ memo labeling fentanyl a chemical weapon, justifying aggressive action against cartels. President Trump has pointed out that over 200,000 Americans died last year from drugs pouring across the border, a crisis fueled by open-border policies under the previous administration.
Yet Democrats are quick to defend the traffickers, recycling tired hoaxes. The White House fired back, with spokeswoman Anna Kelly stating, “‘Innocent fisherman’ is the new ‘Maryland Man’ hoax – just like the media tried to paint MS-13 human smuggler Kilmar Abrego Garcia as ‘father of the year,’ they are now running cover for foreign terrorists smuggling deadly narcotics intended to murder Americans.”

She continued, “President Trump is using every element of American power to take on the cartels and stop deadly drugs from flooding into our country – just like he promised on the campaign trail.”
It’s something Democrats used to support:
GOP Senate candidate Morgan Murphy has highlighted the Dems’ double standard, noting “For nearly a decade, Democrats lauded President Obama as the ‘Prince of Peace,’ even though his bomb strikes in Yemen, Pakistan, and Somalia killed hundreds of civilians. None of those countries were at war with the United States or targeted American civilians. But when President Trump pushes his own effort to stop human smugglers and drug dealers who have done untold harm and killed millions of Americans, they want to place the president and secretary of war on a show trial.”
This is pure propaganda. Democrats will invent ANY horror story if it helps them defend cartels and smear Trump. They’re not arguing in good faith, they’re running a fear-campaign because they can’t justify protecting narco-terrorists.

BLAH BLAH BLAH.
They spew hate, propaganda and outright lies while inciting violence, division and hate.
Democrats are the problem.

This frenzy reveals a deeper issue: Democrats’ willingness to shield narco operations that devastate American families, all while hyping baseless fears about Trump. It’s the same playbook that failed them in the election—prioritizing globalist agendas over America First security.
As Trump and Hegseth press on, dismantling the cartels brick by brick, expect more desperate smears from the left. The hysterical rhetoric exposes their soft spot for cartels while ignoring the fentanyl crisis killing hundreds of thousands of Americans annually.
