Eric Schmitt Smacks-Down Stupid Daily Caller Hack Caden Olson For Calling Cartel Drug-Running Boats “Fishing Boats”

“If you can seize an oil tanker without killing anyone, shouldn’t that have been the way that these fishing boats were also stopped?” – Daily Caller Hack Caden Olson

Reporter: If you can seize a tanker without killing anyone, shouldn’t that… If you can seize an oil tanker without killing anyone, shouldn’t that have been the way that these fishing boats were also stopped?

Eric Schmitt: Fishing boats? What is a fishing boat? The drug runners?

Reporter: The drug runners…

Eric Schmitt: Those aren’t fishing boats.

Reporter: Yeah, but…

Eric Schmitt: Those aren’t fishing boats.

Reporter: If you can seize a vessel without violence…

Eric Schmitt: Okay. Well, let’s talk about Article II authority. The President, the Commander in Chief, has identified and designated terrorist organizations—cartels who run drugs that kill 100,000 Americans a year.

There’s no legal question that he has the authority to blow those boats out of the water, and they will continue.

This, however—these were economic sanctions by the President, as delegated by Congress.

Those were enforced by civil authorities with the aid of the U.S. Navy. We’re talking about two very different things.

But if you’re asking me if I have sympathy for narco-terrorists killing Americans, whose boats are carrying the drugs that kill Americans, I don’t. I have sympathy for my neighbors in Missouri who’ve been poisoned, who die.

We finally have a President who cares about them more than Democrats care about going down to El Salvador to drink margaritas with terrorists. That’s how I feel about it.
