Senator Derides Hegseth's 'Guts And Balls' As He Dodges Question On Shooting Protesters
HuffPost
The defense secretary told Democratic Sen. Elissa Slotkin that she should only believe what she reads in the Bible.
Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) denounced Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s lack of “guts and balls” during a hearing Tuesday when he refused to say whether he’d given orders to the military to shoot at unarmed protesters.
The heated exchange ― one of several during Hegseth’s series of hearings before the Senate Armed Services Committee ― kicked off when Hegseth apparently laughed at Slotkin’s inquiry about whether he’d given such orders.
“Don’t laugh,” warned Slotkin, who served three tours in Iraq as a CIA analyst.
“What is that based on? What evidence would you have that an order like that has ever been given?” Hegseth spoke over her.
