Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton of Massachusetts said that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth might have the same fate as some Nazis who were executed for their war crimes in World War II.
Moulton claimed that strikes ordered on narco-terrorist boats near Venezuela could be prosecuted as war crimes and lead to the secretary's execution.
'Back in World War II, the Allies tried Nazi submarine captains for doing this exact same thing.'
The Democrat was being interviewed by Erin Burnett on CNN on Wednesday when he made the bizarre threat against Hegseth.
"He's clearly behind the operation to shoot all these boats in the Caribbean when it's very unclear that we actually have any confirmation that these so-called narco-terrorists, a term the administration invented to justify this action, are even on the boats," he said.
Moulton went on to cite some reports claiming that the sailors killed were just fishermen who were trying to feed their families and "clearly not war criminals," as claimed by the Trump administration.
"And on top of that, we then have the strike where they came back and hit it again, a double tap just purely to kill these survivors who were clinging to wreckage," Moulton said.
"You know, it's interesting, Erin, another historical analogy: Back in World War II, the Allies tried Nazi submarine captains for doing this exact same thing," he added. "And guess what the conclusion was? They got executed! Listen to that, Mr. Secretary!"
The strikes on drug boats near Venezuela were a precursor to the military operation that led to the capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro, who is now awaiting trial.

"Hegseth may want to read up on the Geneva Conventions," Moulton said on social media with video of his interview with Burnett.
Moulton is a former U.S. Marine Corps captain who served four tours in the Iraq War, while Hegseth is a former Army National Guard infantry officer with combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) has long been known for her defense of Somalian immigrants and intense hatred of the Trump administration — but that’s all about to change, as BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere has crowned her with a new title.
“When you think of who the dumbest congressman in America is, or congresslady, you come up with a bunch of different names. I think AOC would be sort of near the top of that list for a lot of people,” Stu tells co-host Dave Landau on “Stu and Dave Do America.”
“Another one you might put in that list is Ilhan Omar,” Stu says, noting that conservatives mostly take issue with her ideology, but not necessarily her stupidity.
However, that was before a clip of Omar discussing World War II resurfaced.
“The last time the Alien Enemies Act was invoked, it was used to detain and deport German, Japanese, Italian immigrants during World War 11,” Omar said in the clip, using the number “eleven” instead of “two.”
“How can that be real?” Stu asks, shocked.
“I think most people often think that there are more world wars than ‘Police Academy’ movies,” Landau jokes, adding, “She could just be thinking of ‘The Fast and the Furious.’”
Landau also points out that as a congresswoman, she should know that there were two world wars, but she doesn’t because “she doesn’t care enough about America to actually know that.”
“No one makes that mistake. A child wouldn’t make that mistake,” he adds.
