The View‘s cohosts — namely, Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Joy Behar, and Sunny Hostin (since Alyssa Farah Griffin was absent without any on-air explanation as to why) — went absolutely ballistic over the latest reporting involving Pete Hegseth. The defense secretary is once again in hot water over the targeting of migrant boaters accused of being drug traffickers, with a second strike conducted against the survivors of the first, near Venezuela.

“There’s a new plot twist in the alleged narco boat strike, and some people are calling it a war crime. Defense Secretary Hegseth and the White House now confirmed there was a second strike, but it wasn’t Pete who ordered it,” Goldberg said before introducing footage of White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt naming Admiral Frank M. Bradley as the one who “gave that order.” They also reviewed footage of Delaware Senator Chris Coons suggesting Admiral Bradley was not the one who gave the order, but it was instead Hegseth himself.
