They bombed the boat FOUR times.

Obviously Chump and Company are absolutely incapable of telling the truth ever, about anything.

Do your job Congress.

Nick Schifrin: (PBS journalist)

Well, exactly what you just said, Geoff.

The U.S. military struck that boat on September 2 four times, according to a U.S. official speaking to me today. The official said that, after the first strike, there were people on board who were not killed. The second strike targeted them. The third and fourth strikes were designed to sink the boat.

Now, why is this important? As of last week, all we knew from President Trump is that there had been a single strike on a boat that he said carried 11 narco-terrorists. Then, last week, we learned of a second strike. That was reporting in The Washington Post and others.
