Serial fabulist Aaron Rupar has caught GOP presidential candidate Ron DeSantis in a "gotcha" moment. DeSantis was a guest on Sean Hannity's show, and the audience applauded in approval when DeSantis said he'd use lethal force against the cartels bringing fentanyl across the border.

That's appalling. It's murder, that's what it is.
We’ve come a long way from “Hope and change” to “Let’s murder people with state power.” https://t.co/0PNcXTCryb

Is he aware that premeditated murder is a felony that could carry life imprisonment for him? Just saying.

"Premeditated murder." And speaking of a long way from "hope and change" … it's not such a long way.
How are you unaware of your boy droning kids?

Those Obama Hope and Change civilian drone strikes were something else!

Spare me the fake indignation and moral outrage. No one is buying.
Obama intentionally murdered two U.S. citizens abroad in a drone strike. No due process whatsoever.

Abdulrahman al-Awlaki would like a word. Protecting the nation from invasion is a legitimate use of government force. Droning a kid is not.

Obama's drone strikes killed known US citizens, not to mention 9/10 were just civilians with no connection to any terror cell.

Bruh… you really don’t know about drone wars? Really?

It'd be a nice change of pace for a president to stop foreign armed invaders at the southern border instead of guys like Joe Biden who droned a bunch of kids on his way out of Afghanistan or Obama who droned a wedding in Yemen.

Yep … the current administration droned an aid worker in Afghanistan and his family, all for transporting jugs of water home.
542 drone strikes that killed 3,797 people, including 324 civilians. That was Obama’s state power. Checkmate.

"Hope and change" included a lot of drone strikes on civilians. Excuse us if we don't cry over drug cartels not getting due process.
