Dem Senator Outrageously Calls Dead Narco-Terrorists 'Murder Victims' in New Letter to Trump

RedState (opinion/commentary) · back to the audit
In an August 3 letter to the White House, Kaine wrote that "he had reviewed a so-called 'execute order' signed by the president, which includes targeting criteria for the boat strikes, said the strikes on vessels in the Pacific and Caribbean, which began last September, have likely 'killed individuals who are not involved in narcotrafficking.'"

"You selected numerous organizations for targeting," Kaine wrote, addressing Trump. "That target list is classified so I cannot reveal it."

"Importantly, the classification of the list means that those you have asked the Department of Defense to target are entirely unaware that they are marked for execution," he said.

Some of those hit by the strikes, said Kaine, "are murder victims."

Quoted embedded tweet (Fox News Politics, Aug. 3, 2026): "'MURDER VICTIMS': Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine accuses the Pentagon of killing people uninvolved in narcotrafficking during the Trump administration's boat strikes against alleged drug traffickers in international waters. In a letter to President Donald Trump dated Aug. 3, Kaine wrote that his review of classified directives, a DOJ legal opinion and strike notifications 'makes clear that the United States is engaged in violent and fatal attacks against people far beyond those whom the OLC opinion claimed could be lawfully targeted.' The White House fired back, with spokesperson Anna Kelly saying all strikes 'have been against designated narcoterrorists bringing deadly poison to our shores' and that Trump 'will continue to use every element of American power to stop drugs from flooding into our country.'"

And there you have it. Sen. Tim Kaine has apparently appointed himself as defense attorney for all those people found racing narcotics through international waters on behalf of organizations that the U.S. has designated as narco-terrorists. Sure, Americans may be dying by the thousands from the poison those groups traffic into the country, but Kaine is much more outraged when the bodies dropping belong to the narco-terrorists.

What a world.
