Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) gave the very strong impression that she had personally viewed a classified video of a suspected narco-terrorist drug boat involved in an alleged “double tap” strike during an interview with CNN.
Actually, she did more than give the impression. She flat-out claimed she watched the video. With her own eyes.
Duckworth described it as “deeply disturbing” during an appearance on CNN's “State of the Union” Sunday, accusing War Secretary Pete Hegseth of committing “essentially murder” and a potential war crime.
When host Dana Bash asked her if she had viewed the video, she did not waver.
“I have seen the video. And it is deeply disturbing,” Duckworth replied.
She went on to describe Hegseth as “the least qualified secretary of defense in our nation's history.”
Bash asks her to clarify her statement on the video, and, in less than 60 seconds, Duckworth not only backpedals but completely contradicts what she had just said.
“I just want to make sure that I get this accurate,” Bash pressed. “You have seen the classified video of this particular strike, the first strike, and then the double tap, as it's known.”
“No, I have just seen what's been available in the media,” Duckworth responded. “I have read the full report, but I have not seen the actual video. I have requested to be able to see the actual video.”
From “I have seen the video” to “I have not seen the actual video” in under a minute. That has to be record time for outing yourself as a liar.

Let’s not be too tough on Senator Duckworth. At least she didn’t claim to actually be on the drug boat.
She saw the whole boat thing in a hallucination and recalled it for the reporter in a psychedelic drug flashback.😛💫🤪💫
“I was there!!”
Brian Williams was there.
One can dream...
That was Brian Williams on that boat...
He's not the Secretary of Defense you stupid beyotch. He's the Secretary of War. And Lincoln's Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton never served a day in the military. He was a freaking lawyer and politician.
Good points.
“She went on to describe Hegseth as “the least qualified secretary of defense in our nation’s history.”
she obviously doesn’t know history. LLoyd Austin was a complete idiot.
Demoncrats…..
When don’t they lie?
All they DO is lie, cheat and rip off hard working American citizens while they engage in the destruction of America.
LOL yes.
But she has to repeat her talking points.
Lead in her drinking water or did she eat a lot of paint chips???
Or is it standard demoRAT lying?
I’ll go with a combination of both.
Dana Trash left Ducklice without a leg to stand on
👍
This is a dog bites man story. Democrats are liars and liars lie so where is the “news” story here?
Dude had a lot of medals. Some were huge. Like Idi Amin.
Crappy comment. She lost her legs in combat.
Grow up.
