Does anyone know the qualifications for being Secretary of Defence? It’s pretty basic. They have to be a civilian.
Watching Democrats act like third graders lacking any respect for a former service member who went to war for this nation was quite telling.
Remember this every time you vote. Their claims that they respect veterans is a lie. Their claims that they respect the law is a lie. Their claims that they respect the Constitution is a lie. Their claims they respect our institutions is a lie.
Hirono, 77, a regular figure of mockery among Republicans and conservatives, asked Hegseth at one point: “In June of 2020, then-President Trump directed former Secretary of Defense Mark Esper to shoot protesters in the legs in downtown DC, an order Secretary Esper refused to comply with. Would you carry out such an order?”
“Senator,” replied the 44-year-old Hegseth, “I was in the Washington DC National Guard unit that was in Lafayette Square. I saw 50 Secret Service agents get injured by rioters.”
“That sounds to me,” Hirono concluded, “that you will comply with such an order — you will shoot protesters in the leg.”
