Sen. Schumer on Sec. Hegseth’s Press Conference: He Fancies Himself as a Patent but He’s Nothing More Than a Deranged Pundit

EXCERPT:

SCHUMER: “The tantrum Pete Hegseth threw at the Pentagon this morning only further weakens Americans' confidence in his ability to lead our brave men and women in uniform. The Senate needs to put Hegseth on trial and remove him from the Pentagon for his management of this disastrous illegal war. He must be put on trial. This morning, Pete Hegseth had the audacity to declare a, quote, 'historic military victory in Iran.' Can you believe it? What the hell is he talking about? A gallon of gas costing more than $4 a gallon is not a historic victory. Iran and its proxies still taking pot shots at passing ships eight months into the war is not a historic victory. Trying to hide American casualty numbers from the public certainly doesn't scream historic victory. Imagine, justifying your disaster by arguing that the Vietnam War was worse and doing so just a day before Veterans Day, ell, that's just what Hegseth did. The guy has no sense, no morality, no decency, no honor. The administration could not be any more clueless about how unpopular Trump's failed war is with the American people. Hegseth fancies himself as a patent, but he's nothing more than a deranged pundit.”
