GOP Senator Says Official Who Ordered Strike Should ‘Hell Out’ of DC

Republican Sen. Thom Tillis said that whoever ordered the second strike on survivors of the Pentagon’s boat attack, “if substantiated” needs “to get the hell out of Washington.”

Tillis, the senator for North Carolina, added that “we still need to get to the bottom” of the incident but it would amount to “a violation of an ethical, moral or legal code” if true.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed on Monday afternoon that the U.S. military had carried out the strike on boat survivors, and said Special Operations Command head Adm. Frank Bradley was “within his authority and the law” in approving the second assault.
