A new report about a military cover up had one former GOP lawmaker calling the debacle "absolutely incredible and wrong."
Melissa Corrigan and David Shuster, the latter having previously exposed GOP corruption as an Emmy-winning anchor at MSNBC and CNN, reported in an article called "EXCLUSIVE: US Navy Deleted Video of October Boat Attack Survivors," that a "leaked document reveals effort to coverup aftermath of Oct 17 strike."
According to the report, "two detainees were brought on board a US Navy vessel, one in apparent medical distress having survived an explosive boat strike. Shipboard personnel followed standing protocol and code to capture video and photo documentation of the onboarding of these individuals, and then were given the dubious order to delete that footage."
Shuster wrote about the story on social media, "US Navy deleted video of October 17 boat strike survivors. In this attack, two men were rescued and detained on USS Iwo Jima. Navy was ordered to delete photos/videos, ship document reveals."
"This story proves the U.S. military has engaged in a coverup and destruction of documents/materials related to these boat attacks. Good grief," he then added.
Ex-GOP lawmaker Adam Kinzinger shared the report and added, "This is absolutely incredible and wrong."
