Waterboarding
Waterboarding saw a spike in lookups on Tuesday morning during the confirmation hearing for incoming president Donald Trump’s pick for defense secretary, Pete Hegseth.
During the widespread protests following George Floyd’s death in 2020, Hegseth supported ordering active-duty troops to put down riots. And like Trump, Hegseth has also praised waterboarding as an “effective” tactic.
