It has been absolutely amazing to watch the left take up unpopular positions on issues, solely to be in opposition to Trump. They have done it with illegal immigration, crime, and now narco-terrorism.
A recent guest on MSNBC named Paul Rieckhoff criticized the Trump administration for taking out a drug cartel vessel this week, calling it dangerous. Rieckhoff is a military veteran, which is great, but he is also a liberal activist, which is why he is appearing on MSNBC.
What kind of person takes a defensive stance for drug cartels trying to invade our country with deadly poison? This is insane.

Trump Does The Unthinkable: Causes MSNBC Guest To Take Side Of Drug-Trafficking Terrorists
Independent Veterans of America founder Paul Rieckhoff attacked President Donald Trump on Thursday for bombing drug-trafficking terrorists in the Caribbean Sea.
America’s strike sank a vessel belonging to Venezuelan drug cartel Tren de Aragua, with 11 members verified to have died in the attack, Trump announced on Tuesday. Rieckhoff argued on MSNBC’s “Katy Tur Reports” that the strike was a misuse of the military.
“It’s alarming, it’s unprecedented and it’s dangerous. And it’s the latest example of how Trump continues to overextend and abuse military power,” Rieckhoff said. “I think it’s maybe the most important and one of the most underreported stories in America right now. He keeps pushing the boundaries to places we’ve never been before.”
“Not only did they kill 11 people — allegedly — they put American troops at risk. American troops could have died. Right? And any time you put American troops at risk, you owe the American public an explanation as to why,” he added. “There is absolutely no accountability right now. There is no transparency. And there’s the old saying: ‘First send the country to war, then send the troops.’ We keep sending the troops first without getting the country behind them.”

The claims this guest makes about how Trump is putting the military in danger are completely off the wall. How is Trump endangering the troops by vaporizing a cartel vessel?
