Reporter: Does the administration deny that that second strike happened or did it happen and the administration denies that Hegseth gave the order Leavitt: The latter is true

Karoline Leavitt just admitted the administration engaged in illegal acts that constitute war crimes and murder.

She’s admitting that war crimes were in fact committed.

Secretary of War Crimes Hegseth will have to answer for these crimes, as will every person under him who assisted in these strikes.

Ah yes, the ‘the strike was real but the chain of command was imaginary’ defense.

They can't lie about a second strike being conducted because it's not something that can be covered up. It's a fully traceable action. So they're going to essentially deny who gave the order. Most corrupt administration on God's green earth.

So he gave the order

So the administration acknowledges the action but disputes the attribution. Does that mean any previous statements assigning responsibility were inaccurate?

If the administration is confident in the decision, why not release the operational timeline so the public can see who authorized what, and when?

Absolute BS!! No fentanyl is on those boats because fentanyl isn’t produced in Venezuela, cocaine is. It’s not about the drugs, he’s pardoning a trafficker who served a year out of his 45 YEAR sentence.

Did she just tell the truth. 🫢

Wow! She just admitted that the war crimes were committed! Very interesting development!

So much for Hegseth standing by his personnel. Hegseth lies to save his own ass and the White House lies to cover Hegseth’s ass. Hegseth’s “warrior ethos” is cowardice. Too damn scared to admit he ordered the second strike.

Just going to leave this here. It's from March.

She said they were carrying “….enough fentanyl to kill every man woman and child many times over.” So Fent is the new WMD?

Sounds like they know they're in deep sh*t...

So what she’s really saying is this: Trump pardoned a terrorist when he pardoned Juan Hernandez, a guy convicted in federal court for plotting to pump 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S. That’s twenty full 40-foot shipping containers of poison.

Dumbass bitch

So, they're throwing Admiral Bradley under the bus? Gotta love the loyalty and the willingness to take responsibility of this administration.

The Pentagon’s latest innovation: truth-torpedoing. When chain of command becomes a game of telephone played with live ordnance. Hegseth publicly bragged about "lethal, kinetic strikes" on 11/29/25 while Admiral Bradley executed his "kill survivors" directive on 9/2/25. Trump claims ignorance but defends the policy, Pentagon claims navigation hazards but produced no wreckage photos. Only the pattern survives intact: plausible deniability for commanders, certain death for targets. In Trump’s admin, accountability dissolves faster than narco-boats in Caribbean waters.

Asked a crystal-clear question — “Did the second strike happen, or are you just denying Hegseth ordered it?” — Karoline Leavitt calmly answers: “The latter is true.” That is an on-camera admission that the second strike did happen. No more “fake news,” no more “made up by the media.” A second hit on that boat is now official White House fact. All they’re doing now is arguing over whose fingerprints are on the order — Trump’s, Hegseth’s, Admiral Bradley’s. But if survivors were in the water, the debate isn’t about PR. It’s about a war crime. They just crossed their own red line on live TV.

So basically the defense is - yeah it was legal but if not, we didn't do it.

If Hegseth didn’t give the order, can you identify which official did and under what authority?

This is Trump and Hegseth throwing Admiral Bradley under the bus.

She’s becoming MORE of a Robot of Disinformation every single day.

Lol, they're gonna throw someone else under the bus for this.

Yes, yes. Hang that admiral out to dry. I’m sure that will go well.

Good. I hope they do it again. I understand the Leftists will freak out but that's okay. The penalty for smuggling drugs and being a Narco Terrorist SHOULD BE DEATH. Why would anyone who loves America disagree?

Does she realize that whiskey-dick Hegseth is tweeting memes doubling down on these illegal orders?

Wow. If throwing Mitch Bradley under the bus is their answer for what happened, things are about to get very interesting.

Here we go. Pussy Pete is gonna throw some general under the bus and pull the "mob boss" bullshit where he claims he didn't explicitly order the second strike. Side note: The first strikes are illegal anyway.

Throwing military commanders under bus.

So to be absolutely clear: you acknowledge the second strike occurred, but you’re saying Hegseth had no role in authorizing it. Who, then, made the final call?

So that raises another question: the strike happened but Hegseth didn’t give the order. In another statement she said Hegseth gave the order. Which is it. Was Hegseth following orders from Trump?
