Fox News Contributor Criticizes Trump’s Venezuelan Boat Bombings: ‘Things Can Go Very Badly Here’

Fox News contributor Kennedy criticized President Donald Trump for blowing up ships allegedly carrying drugs in the Caribbean.

Trump has so far authorized at least two maritime bombings on vessels he claimed were carrying drugs. On Monday, he claimed the U.S. killed three “narcoterrorists” in a strike on a Venezuelan boat. That came two weeks after he said 11 “narcoterrorists” were killed in another strike on a speedboat from Venezuela.

The administration has dismissed concerns about the legality of bombing suspected drug ships in international waters.

On Tuesday’s edition of The Five, the co-hosts discussed the strikes. Greg Gutfeld heartily endorsed the strikes despite his longtime call to end the war on drugs.

“They’re drug traffickers,” he said. “We have to get rid of them because they’re killing Americans. They’re being hunted. Not our political adversaries. Actual drug traffickers. You know, these are the people that Democrats would never call ‘deplorable,’ but God forbid you deadname a trans. So,  I think we are easy to figure out. You know, we are open about our love for law and order. We don’t have to pretend that we’re something else.”

Kennedy offered a starkly different take.

“I don’t like it,” she said. “Because all it takes is one fishing boat with a broken radio or people who don’t speak English, and

you are killing innocent civilians, and I do not like that. The war on drugs failed the first time around. Things can go very badly here. We have not properly addressed demand in this country. That has not gone away. That is one of the reasons that the cartels proliferated during and after the war on drugs. So, we do have to address demand in this country. We do have to address why do people, especially kids, in this country want to put things in their body they know can kill them? It is terrifying.”
