Yesterday, Vice President J.D. Vance praised the recent military strikes that took out Venezuelan narco terrorists bound for the U.S. with a boatload of drugs.
Lefties didn't like that, but as Vance said when he bodied Brian Krassenstein, he didn't care.
He's right. They weren't American citizens, they weren't entitled to 'due process' and they certainly aren't like Tom Robinson from To Kill a Mockingbird.
Vice President Vance doesn't need anyone to defend him, but it never hurts to have Scott Jennings in your corner, and Jennings agreed with the VP while joining Jake Tapper.
WATCH:
Drug cartels are transnational terrorist organizations. We have to stop treating these people like they are jaywalkers — they're not. They're TERRORISTS.@JDVance is right: taking out cartels who poison and kill our citizens is a good use of our military. pic.twitter.com/6qReTGdc5L

Couldn't have said it better ourselves.

Pretty much.
How close are we to critics' claiming they were never charged with a crime?

We're already there.
Besides having a visual of the boat’s cargo “we” (military, CIA or FBI) had been listening to the 11 persons’ conversations aboard the drug boat for awhile. https://t.co/e3OHrgOSvJ

That's all the due process they deserved.
Scott, dropping facts per usual. Thank you. 🔥🙏🏼

It's that common sense he does so well.
People are claiming Trump can't do this...
— The Conservative Alternative (@OldeWorldOrder) September 7, 2025
...but they forget that terrorists are fair game.
The moment Trump reclassified Tren de Aragua as a 'terrorist organization', he opened the door for this kind of strike.
And how are they not terrorists?
Any foreign organization that kills an American citizen should face the full wrath of the United States military.

We have no problem sending soldiers to protect the financial interests of corporations so we shouldn't have any problem sending a few bombs to protect our people.
This.
It’s fascinating how the political and media establishment are always so ready to let Presidents use our military in some far off place with only a vague direct benefit to the American people.

But Trump using the military in a way that directly benefits us is a huge controversy. https://t.co/ZXuX8Hj6cF
Absolutely fascinating.
It's sick the way the liberals always defend the evil people https://t.co/iJ2Lc2oCUe

Yes, it is.
It's sad it has come to this. But it has.

We have to protect our citizens.
It is the primary function of government. https://t.co/noD9PFP5rZ
It is the sole function of government.
