Senator Mark Warner of Virginia, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, criticized both Mr. Hegseth and Mr. Waltz during a hearing on Tuesday, where he said that others who had discussed sensitive defense information in an unclassified chat would most likely have been fired. He went further on social media.
“When the stakes are this high, incompetence is not an option,” he wrote in a post on social media. “Pete Hegseth should resign. Mike Waltz should resign.”
