Hegseth abandons plan to livestream a military execution after Trump faced warnings it was barbaric, could fuel ISIS propaganda and hurt Republicans in midterms
U.S.Security
The Atlantic reported that Pete Hegseth’s plan to livestream a military execution blindsided even his closest Pentagon advisers and prompted what the report described as “pretty universal revulsion” within the Trump administration.
Republican lawmakers and advisers privately warned Trump that the broadcast would be barbaric, could fuel ISIS propaganda and hurt Republicans in the midterms. Trump reportedly “soured on it pretty quickly” after hearing the criticism, prompting Hegseth to abandon the livestream plan.
