And it\u2019s the latest example of how Trump continues to overextend and abuse military power,\u201d Rieckhoff said. \u201cI think it\u2019s maybe the most important and one of the most underreported stories in America right now. He keeps pushing the boundaries to places we\u2019ve never been before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot only did they kill 11 people \u2014 allegedly \u2014 they put American troops at risk. American troops could have died. Right? And any time you put American troops at risk, you owe the American public an explanation as to why,\u201d he added. \u201cThere is absolutely no accountability right now. There is no transparency. And there\u2019s the old saying: \u2018First send the country to war, then send the troops.\u2019 We keep sending the troops first without getting the country behind them.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Here\u2019s the clip:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"1920\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">NEW: MSNBC Guest Paul Rieckhoff *SOMEHOW* finds way to attack Trump Admin for striking narco vessel<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s alarming, it\u2019s unprecedented and it\u2019s dangerous.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Trump continues to overextend and abuse military power.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Not only did they k*ll 11 people \u2014 allegedly \u2014 they put\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hCBL47rYuC\">pic.twitter.com\/hCBL47rYuC<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jason Cohen  (@JasonJournoDC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JasonJournoDC\/status\/1963704155308216814?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 4, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The claims this guest makes about how Trump is putting the military in danger are completely off the wall.
