SURE, being a murderous alcoholic sexually abusing Fox News clown is COOL, but one who posts FUNNY MURDER MEMES? COOL! [View all]

'Things still matter?' Hegseth slammed as 'unserious' for meme post about 'war crimes'

https://www.rawstory.com/pete-hegseth-war-crimes-2674356958/

Once-again embattled Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth posted a meme to seemingly defend himself from war crimes allegations over his orders to strike two survivors of a missile attack.

Trump seemingly distanced himself from Hegseth in comments Sunday evening aboard Air Force One, saying he "wouldn’t have wanted a second strike," but insisted he maintained confidence for the self-styled secretary of war, who baffled many by posting a meme around the same time the president was speaking.

"For your Christmas wish list…," Hegseth posted on X at 7:37 p.m. EST Sunday, showing an altered cover of a children's book series depicting a situation similar to military operations the Trump administration says it's carrying out in Central America.

The image posted by Hegseth shows Franklin the Turtle wearing combat great and firing a bazooka from a helicopter on boats in the water below, titled, "Franklin Targets Narco Terrorists."
