Secretary of War Pete Hegseth posted a cartoon meme Sunday about the Trump administration’s military campaign targeting South American drug boats that drew outrage from liberals upset about the attacks. The post has gone viral with over five million views as of late Sunday night.
Hegseth posted a cartoon meme of Canadian children’s book character Franklin the Turtle titled “Franklin Targets Narco Terrorists”, that features Franklin on a military helicopter firing on drug boats, with the message, “For your Christmas wish list”:
Biden Defense Department spokeswoman Sabrina Singh, who worked for SecDef Lloyd Austin, posted, “Imagine any other SecDef posting this. And then remember they never would because they were serious people.”
California Democrat Congresswoman Sara Jacobs posted, “I fixed it for you” over a redone Franklin cartoon accusing Hegseth of war crimes.
Massachusetts Democrat Congressman Seth Moulton, “You’re a disgrace.”
Virginia Democrat Congressman Eugene Vindman, “Is this all just a joke to you @SecWar?”

Driving the leftards crazy one meme at a time. 😆
As a retired veteran with 20 years of service, I fully support Franklin’s mission!!!
Haha...I love it that these guys are sitting around having a good time with this.
It’s because there’s really no way to argue we should let foreign drug smugglers get drugs to our shore and then attempt to arrest them and put them on trial.
Republicans spend all their time investigating Republicans. Democrats spent how much time trying to persecute the Biden admin over Afghanistan? To me, the order is to kill the everyone on the boat to prevent them from coming. That’s the order. So what it takes, 1 strike or 12
“...drew outrage from liberals upset about the attacks.”
The only reason they’re outraged is because they’re freaking out their drug supply is being cut off, and I’m not kidding. The longer this goes on the more insane they’re going to get as withdrawal kicks in.
Fixed it for you.
During WWII cartoon characters were depicted attacking Nazis and Japanese Imperialists, and no one took offense, because no one was a supporter of the Nazis or Imperialists.
The Democrats are offended because they are supporters of the narcoterrorists; the narcos must have to peso much to get such support.
Everything outrages liberals.
Liberals count on these drug dealers and pushers for their drugs and laundered money and don’t appreciate the American military turning them into Caribbeaner Barbeque.
They could hit them just once and then tell Venezuela there is a job for their Coast Guard.
Relax, it’s a children’s book.
They are not offended, they are losing money...as are many ‘Republicans’ who are also in on the family business.
Liberals have no sense of humor.
If the cartoon had been posted bya Democrat Secretary they would be loving it..............
Said of the “serious “ (Lloyd Austin) who wore a face shield and made others around him do same. All because Dr Faucet said something about eyes.
The Dems have no problem blowing up civilians in foreign adventures. But attacking people who are coming into our country with poison to kill us? They don’t like that.
