Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), during an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday, claimed she watched the classified video of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s alleged “double tap” strike on a suspected drug boat — only to walk that claim back one minute later. “I just want to make sure that I get this accurate — you have seen the classified video of this particular strike, the first strike, and then the double tap, as it’s known?” Bash asked. The New York Times reported soon after that WaPo’s order of events was incorrect, and that Hegseth’s “order was not a response to surveillance footage showing that at least two people on the boat survived the first blast.” And Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT), the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said on Thursday that Navy Adm. Frank “Mitch” Bradley denied WaPo’s report as well.
