Fox News Pundit Orders 'Kill Everybody,' Still Gets Cable News Gig
The story details how Hegseth, a military veteran turned media personality, was embedded with a special operations unit and, according to a former SEAL, gave a direct order to 'kill everybody' on an alleged 'narco boat' in the Arabian Sea. This wasn't some isolated incident; over 80 people were reportedly killed in a campaign that veteran judge advocates have called extrajudicial murder,
orchestrated under Trump's policy. Yet, Hegseth continues to hold a prominent platform on Fox News, his moral compass apparently needing no recalibration, let alone accountability, for alleged war crimes. We hear endless hand-wringing about 'bad actors' abroad, but when actual commands leading directly to civilian slaughter are tied to a figure like Hegseth—who later advised President Trump to
pardon accused war criminals—the line between punditry and outright criminality blurs. One might ask, how many documented commands to 'kill everybody' does it take before cable news decides a voice isn't fit for public consumption? Or is 'kill everybody' now just another hot take for the outrage machine?
