House Republican Calls For Pete Hegseth To Be Fired In Bold Move Opposing Trump
Ron Dicker
Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) suggested Monday that Pete Hegseth should be fired as secretary of defense, reportedly becoming the first GOP House member to advocate for his ouster.

NPR wrote Monday that the White House was already searching for a replacement after it was reported that Hegseth again shared classified information with outsiders on an imminent military attack in Yemen. The group chat, allegedly the second on Signal that breached security protocol, included Hegseth’s wife, brother and lawyer.

“If the reports are true, the secretary of defense has failed at operational security, and that is unacceptable,” Bacon told Axios. “If a Democrat did this we’d be demanding a scalp. We should be Americans first when it comes to security.”

He is an embarrassment, even to Trump, who doesn't get embarrassed by anything.


This is just neo cons and warmongers being unhappy Pete opposed going to war with Iran.

Military industrial complex and their baby killing warmongers want a repeat of Afghanistan and Iraq.


Isn't Pete always blathering about "warfighting," a word that isn't in the dictionary.

Amazing that he hasn't been fired yet. They fired some women at Fort McCoy immediately for the "disrespect" of not putting up pictures of Trump, Vance and Hegseth up quickly enough, but Hegseth can share info on war plan with his family and journalists and that's totally fine.

We need more alcoholic, womanizing, Christian nationalists in charge. It’s true.


Bill Clinton didn’t fulfill your need for womanizers?


Not nearly to the same level. Bill's mother didn't write a scathing letter to her son excoriating him for his abusive treatment of his wife. Bill didn't dunk himself in a tub full of alcohol or pass out regularly from drink at family gatherings. Bill didn't miss the target and throw his axe at a West Point drummer.



Bill didn't have an alcohol problem, and his mother babied him. He was indeed a serial womanizer.


Still is...


Should we compare bill to Trump?


PP you replied to. I meant that as a light joke. He walks around his little shopping center close to his house and ogles the attractive ladies. It's fine.

Where are the democrats speaking out about this and demanding an investigation? As a taxpayer I want to know why the F his wife was on the call. We have a right to know.

Horrible that Dan Caldwell was pushed out. The people banging the war drums for WW3 and strikes on Iran are winning

Incompetent fool full of pride and stubborn. He shows terrible judgement in using the signal app and including his wife. He would be fired in any other situation.

How does sharing intel with his side piece disrespect Trump?

"Warfighting" has been used for 50 years, primarily by, amazingly and shockingly, the Department of Defense.

I’m just shocked that a guy whose own mother said this is an abysmal DOD sec (or really any job). He’s literally a worthless human being.

Mommy Hegseths own words:
You are an abuser of women — that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth.

It disrespects the safety of the people engaged in those military operations and every one of the millions of people who need to abide by rules related to confidentiality of information for sensitive issues. But apparently that's less important than pictures of Trump going on walls, under this administration.

I'm amazed he considers his wife 'man enough' to understand anything military-related.

Oh the hypocrisy...prosecute the staff leaking Hegseth's lawbreaking but not Hegseth for breaking the laws.

Hegseth says staffers found leaking ‘will be prosecuted’ amid Pentagon chaos
The Defense secretary has faced increased scrutiny as reports of disorder engulf the Pentagon.
