The Trump apologist checklist after Trump or his administration does something awful:
1. Fake news, it didn’t happen.
2. It might’ve happened, but it would be OK if it happened.
3. So it happened, so what.
4. Whatabout [insert names of various presidents here]

Note two things about GOP Rep. Mike Turner's solid remarks on Hegseth's reported order:
1) Turner: "I agree that that would be an illegal act."
2) Implicitly confirms the Washington Post's reporting that this information has been kept from Congress

Rep. Mike Turner on the double strike to comply with Hegseth's orders: "If that occurred, that would be very serious and I agree that would be an illegal act…This is completely outside of anything that has been discussed with Congress and there is an ongoing investigation."

Translation: Pete may well go down for this. But I’m not going with him.
Reporter: If there were a second strike that killed wounded people, would that be legal?
Trump: I don’t know that happened and Pete said he did not even know what people were talking about. I wouldn’t have wanted a second strike. The first strike was very lethal. It was fine.

The Trump regime granted asylum to the alleged DC shooter in April. Kristi Noem lies that the Biden administration did not vet him. But if that were true, why didn't the Trump regime vet him? Is Noem saying they trusted Biden, whom they blame for everything bad that's happened since Trump took over?
WELKER: What vetting did the Trump administration do before giving this suspect asylum?
KRISTI NOEM: The vetting process happens when the person comes into the country and Joe Biden completely did not vet any of these individuals

Basically Trump’s defense on the double strike boat murder is that it didn’t happen, but if it did it was all Hegseth.

Indiana Republican state senator. I appreciate her not caving, but they are all still afraid to ever use Trump’s name. I guess doing so exponentially increases the threats. Trump rules the GOP with fear and intimidation. What a broken party.

The Republican chairs of both the House and Senate Armed Services committees signed a letter yesterday stating that they requested specific info many weeks ago on these strikes and the WH & Pentagon have refused to provide it. If the story is fake news, then turn everything over.

Reporter: Governor Walz called for the release of your MRI results
Trump: They were perfect like my phone call where I got impeached.
Reporter: Can you tell us what they were looking at?
Trump: I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and aced it.
