Green Beret, former UFC fighter livestreams being waterboarded to promote Haspel CIA confirmation
Green Beret and former UFC fighter Tim Kennedy livestreamed a video of himself being waterboarded to promote President Trump's nomination, Gina Haspel, for CIA director.
In a 41-minute-long video, Kennedy is voluntarily waterboarded by his friends multiple times while answering questions between sessions.
"The reason we are doing this ... is for us to have a conversation. Right now, an amazing hero has been appointed to be director of the CIA and because of that, some of the things she has done are being attacked," Kennedy said about Haspel.
Haspel's nomination has repeatedly come under fire because of her role overseeing "enhanced interrogation techniques" — which have widely been considered torture — on detainees at a CIA black site.
Between sessions, Kennedy argued that being waterboarded wasn't torture and was simply uncomfortable.
"If I can change one person's mind about what torture is and what I would do to protect American freedom, I will do this for years," Kennedy said about waterboarding.

Question: could the Green Beret Have withstood listening to Kamala for twenty minutes rather than enduring waterboarding?

I was disappointed, I was watching it and decided to post it before the actual waterboarding took place.
He made more of a joke about it than anything, too much laughing and not long enough time under the water.
Sorry if I wasted anyone's time.
It should be noted that Congress authorized water-boarding of US troops during Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape (SERE) training that took place from 1959 until 1993. The hypocrite Sen. Diane Feinstein personally approved water-boarding thousands of US troops as part of their training. Training that she now calls "torture." If the American people held her to the standards that she claims to have today, she would already be in prison for her past "atrocities."
