Senator Kelly didn’t mince words with Dana Bash: if a second strike hit a burning boat with survivors he thinks the second US military strike on a suspected Venezuelan drug vessel constitutes a war crime! A former Navy captain calling it out matters.

You're a high ranking government official and you shouldn't make things up.
Your 70% number is just a fabrication.
And it's TOTALLY not true that "every single" person you detained is here illegally. For instance, many were allowed in so they could apply for asylum.
