ABC just BLEW UP Democrats’ “DOUBLE-TAP HOAX” like a COKE BOAT

ABC News has reported extensively on the Trump administration's authorization of a series of military strikes on alleged drug smuggling boats in the Caribbean and Pacific, including a controversial second strike in September 2025 that killed survivors of the initial attack.

Key points from ABC News' reporting include:

Trump authorized the strikes: The operations were conducted "at the direction of President Trump" and were part of a broader anti-narcotics and counterterrorism campaign. Trump himself announced several of the strikes on social media and in press conferences, posting video footage of some of the attacks.

Controversy over survivors: The primary controversy, widely covered by ABC News, stems from a September 2, 2025, strike where survivors of an initial attack were killed in a subsequent strike. A source confirmed to ABC News that these survivors were attempting to climb back onto the remnants of the boat when the second strike occurred.

Conflicting orders:

The White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, stated that the initial order from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, which came from President Trump, was for "everyone be killed" aboard the boat.

However, Trump later told reporters he would not have wanted a second strike if survivors were present and defended Hegseth, who denied giving an order to "kill them all".

White House officials later clarified that Adm. Frank "Mitch" Bradley gave the order for the second strike.

"This is war": When pressed by ABC News correspondent Selina Wang about accountability for the deaths, Trump responded by saying "this is war" and emphasized the threat of drugs to Americans.

Legal questions: ABC News reports have noted that the strikes have drawn criticism and legal questions from lawmakers and legal experts, who argue the administration bypassed judicial processes by labeling suspected traffickers as "unlawful combatants" and questioned the use of military force without specific congressional approval.
