@lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social, Rubio and Hegseth lectured about bombing boats and killing people to prevent cocaine coming into America.
They may have prevented 10 tons.
But Trump then pardons Honduras ex-president Hernandez, who was convicted of bringing in 400 tons of cocaine.
Rank hypocrisy.

Massie: Previous presidents told us to go to war over WMDs that did not exist. Now it's the same playbook. Except we're told that drugs are the WMDs. If it were about drugs, we'd bomb Mexico or China or Colombia. This is about oil and regime change.
