Pete Hegseth
Latin Times · Fox News Host Calls Hegseth 'Former Secretary' to His Face Amid Latest Signal LeakBy M.B. Mack
Continued thread

It’s not just that #GOP lawmakers are not calling for #PeteHegseth’s ouster (with one notable exception); it’s that they don’t even seem interested in getting to the bottom of the readily apparent discord in the #Pentagon.

And perhaps most tellingly, #Republican elected officials have again shown almost no interest in asserting themselves even as the situation entails one of the gravest issues under their purview, #NationalSecurity.

Sen #RogerWicker (R-MS) rebuked #Hegseth for telegraphing concessions #Ukraine would need to make to end the war. He even suggestively said that #PeteHegseth “wasn’t my choice for the job,” despite voting to confirm him.…

Just >2 months later, though, Hegseth’s mistakes just keep piling up. Yet a Republican congressional contingent that has shown precious little interest in oversight of #Trump & his admin has shown almost no interest in asserting itself in this matter.

Even on the gravest of issues, #GOP can’t summon the will to question #Trump

Just weeks after #Republicans stood by as Trump’s #tariffs threw the #economy into #chaos, they’re doing the same w/ #PeteHegseth & #NationalSecurity.

Obwohl ihm ein falsches Ministeramt zugeordnet wird, fühlt sich Pete Hegseth bei seinem Heimatsender Fox News wohl. In einem Interview mit einem ehemaligen Kollegen teilt der US-Verteidigungsminister gegen Ex-Mitarbeiter und Medien aus. Derweil belastet ihn ein neuerlicher Bericht.#Politik #Pentagon #US-Verteidigungsministerium #PeteHegseth #DonaldTrump #Huthi

NEW: #Republican Congressman Don Bacon, a former Air Force general who now chairs the subcommittee on cyber issues, became the first sitting GOP lawmaker to suggest Trump should fire Secretary of Defense #PeteHegseth:

“I’m not in the White House…but I find it unacceptable, and I wouldn’t tolerate it if I was in charge
#Russia and #China are all over his phone, and for him to be putting secret stuff on his phone is not right. He’s acting like he’s above the law and that shows an amateur person”
