Seth Moulton Accuses Hegseth of War Crimes Over Strikes

Seth Moulton accused Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth of war crimes over U.S. strikes. Coverage on the left and right also reports that Moulton invoked Nazi submarine captains executed after World War II. Left-leaning outlets frame the comparison as a warning about disregarding the laws of war. Center outlets focus on Moulton’s war-crimes warning and its hearing context, including Hegseth’s response. Right-leaning outlets mostly portray his comments as an implied call for execution or dangerous political rhetoric, while some stress alleged hypocrisy or media bias.
