Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer: Second Strike Claim a Dem ‘Canard,’ ‘Distraction’

Retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer on Newsmax on Monday slammed claims surrounding alleged U.S. follow-up air strikes in the Caribbean as a Democrat “canard” and a political “distraction.”

Shaffer discussed the controversy on “Wake Up America Early” after reports emerged that two survivors were killed in what some senators claim were unauthorized second strikes.

“This is a false narrative,” Shaffer said. “I’ve been in combat. Anybody who wants to understand the lethal authorization process can read my book, “Operation Dark Heart.” We have a whole chapter devoted to this. This is a complete fiction.”
