Hakeem Jeffries Slams Pete Hegseth Over Departure of Navy Sec. Phelan: It’s Retribution on Anyone Who Doesn’t Bend the Knee to His Incompetence

EXCERPT:

JEFFRIES: “Pete Hegseth is a complete and total disgrace at this point. And the mismanagement at the Department of Defense is extraordinary. We’ve lost so many talented, patriotic, skilled, high-ranking officials within our military, and the departure of the Secretary of the Navy is the most recent example. By all accounts, you know, someone who has had exemplary service to this nation, and because of Pete Hegseth’s desire to exact retribution on anyone within the Pentagon who doesn’t bend the knee to his incompetence, he gets rid of him. In the middle of a conflict that, by all accounts, in the Middle East, is not going well for the United States of America. Donald Trump has gotten us into a reckless and costly war of choice in the Middle East, billions of dollars are being spent to drop bombs on Iran. The regime is still intact.”
