❗ Carbajal questioned Hegseth about troop deployment in Los Angeles, a Signal chat leak, and russia’s invasion of Ukraine. As the discussion escalated, the congressman emotionally urged the secretary to “get out of the Pentagon.”
🗣️ “You are a disgrace to this country. Bipartisan members of Congress have already called for your resignation. You should step aside and let competent leadership run the department,” Carbajal stated.
📌 Axios recalls that this is not Hegseth’s first controversy. Previous tensions arose over delays in the Pentagon budget, the Trump administration’s support for Ukraine, and the President’s focus on issues related to Greenland.
