    I still think Hegseth was tripping on cocaine when he had this idea. That’s the number I’m betting on.

    What are these dovish, radical left talking points:

    “I would expect this from terrorists and dictators, but not here in America,” the Alaska senator wrote on X. “It would give this individual, who deserves no further notoriety, the martyrdom he seeks. How we carry out justice matters just as much as the justice itself, so I urge the Pentagon to reverse this gruesome decision.”

    Sen. Kevin Cramer of North Dakota said in a statement, “The death penalty is not entertainment.” He said families of the victims deserve justice. “But publicizing the execution of religious extremists provides exactly what terrorists crave: an audience. It converts the most consequential punishment a government can impose into a public spectacle.”

    “Justice will be served, but the United States of America does not and should not livestream executions,” Republican Rep. Ann Wagner of Missouri wrote"

      “Justice will be served, but the United States of America does not and should not livestream executions,”

      Ie, the US idea of “justice” is so great that nobody should ever see what it actually looks like.
