California Dem tells Hegseth he's an 'embarrassment' to the US, should 'get the hell out' of the DOD
California Dem tells Hegseth he's 'unfit to lead' after defense secretary dismisses 'silly question' about Trump loyalty

A California Democrat told Pete Hegseth on Thursday that he is an "embarrassment" to the United States and should "get the hell out" of the Department of Defense after the secretary chided the lawmaker for a "silly question" he asked during a House hearing.

The outburst from Rep. Salud Carbajal was immediately followed by a call for decorum as lawmakers from the House Armed Services Committee were questioning Hegseth about the Department of Defense's Fiscal Year 2026 budget request.

Tensions started escalating on Capitol Hill as Carbajal asked Hegseth a series of yes or no questions, beginning with the deployment of the National Guard and U.S. Marines in Los Angeles to quell the unrest generated by anti-ICE protests.

"Let's call it for what it is. It's political theater. Hegseth, are the Marines in Los Angeles ordered to protect property by any means necessary?" Carbajal asked him.

"Sir, I would say the ICE officers and police officers being attacked is not political theater," he responded, before Carbajal cut him off and said "just yes or no?"

"The National Guard and Marines have the full authority to protect federal ICE agents," Hegseth continued.

"Yes or no? Can you just say yes or no? This isn't Fox anymore. Just yes or no," Carbajal said.

At one point, Carbajal told Hegseth that "Kindergartners can give me a yes or no" and asked him, "Do you think political allegiance to Trump is a requirement for serving our nation, either in uniform or a civilian in the department?"

"Congressman, you know what a silly question that is," Hegseth responded.

"You know what? I'm not going to waste my time anymore. You're not worthy of my attention or my questions. You're an embarrassment to this country. You're unfit to lead. And there's been bipartisan members of Congress that have called for your resignation. You should just get the hell out and let somebody competently lead this department," Carbajal concluded.

"Hegseth, are the Marines in Los Angeles ordered to protect property by any means necessary?" Carbajal asked him.


The correct answer is "Yes, By any means necessary to stop destruction of Federal property, and to protect Federal law enforcement personnel from injury or death at the hands of violent mobs that civilian authorities are unable, or unwilling, to control."

I don't think Hegseth in his wildest dreams ever thought he would have to take 'action' within his own country.

I hope that all red state governors and sheriffs are preparing BIGLY!

Absent any truthful ideas or demonstrated governing ability, performative art is all the Left has to offer.

Other than violence, that is.

Guess what's coming next?

This is America in 2025.  A mexican farmworker-turned-congressman insists that our government support Ukraine, instead of defending federal workers under attack by foreigners in the US.

Let me guess the California socialists that invited illegals in to destroy the state while sucking on the taxpayers teat are calling Hegseth and our military things like fascist, Nazi, and Hitler because they are stopping foreign national combatants from destroying the property and livelihoods of Americans and legal immigrants?

Typical of democrats cause major crises for Americans and then try to turn it on republicans and blame them. Only in the twisted mind of the democrat does the arsonist blame the firefighters for putting out the fire they started.

Predictably, it will be an escalation compared to last time... But still whacko liberals sh*tting where they eat... Tearing down their own liberal neighborhoods.

And then they wonder why no businesses will serve their area...  :whistle:
