GOP Senator Blasts JD Vance’s ‘Despicable and Thoughtless Sentiment’ Following U.S. Strike on ‘Drug Boat’ That Killed 11

Rand Paul slammed JD Vance for his comments celebrating the U.S.’s lethal strike on a vessel involved in the drug trade that was coming out of Venezuela.

The vice president has been praising the military’s attack that allegedly killed 11 Tren de Aragua narco terrorists – despite the strike’s murky legal justification.

‘Killing cartel members who poison our fellow citizens is the highest and best use of our military,’ Vance wrote on X.

The classic Harper Lee novel To Kill a Mockingbird portrays a case of a man wrongfully accused of rape.

Paul capped off his post with: ‘What a despicable and thoughtless sentiment it is to glorify killing someone without a trial.’

The Senator was referencing Vance’s response to a liberal journalist who said ‘killing the citizens of another nation who are civilians without any due process is called a war crime.’ (Read more from “GOP Senator Blasts JD Vance’s ‘Despicable and Thoughtless Sentiment’ Following U.S. Strike on ‘Drug Boat’ That Killed 11” HERE)
