House Republican Calls For Pete Hegseth To Be Fired In Bold Move Opposing Trump
HuffPost
The GOP lawmaker used a "scalp" reference in advocating for the ouster of the defense secretary.
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.”
Bacon’s declaration would seem to put him at odds with President Donald Trump, who earlier dismissed concerns and the report of Hegseth’s second Signal briefing.
“He’s doing a great job. It’s just fake news,” Trump said.
