Hegseth Hints At Major Escalation If LA Riots Continue: ‘High Alert’ https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/new-hegseth-hints-at-major-escalation-if-la-riots-continue-cmc/ Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that U.S. Marines have been placed on high alert if federal and state assets currently deployed to quell the Los Angeles riots are unable to restore order. “The violent mob assaults on ICE and Federal Law Enforcement are designed to prevent the removal of Criminal Illegal Aliens from our soil,” Hegseth wrote in an X post on Saturday night. “A dangerous invasion facilitated by criminal cartels (aka Foreign Terrorist Organizations) and a huge NATIONAL SECURITY RISK.” The defense secretary went on to echo the president’s stern response to the riots, stating, “Under President Trump, violence & destruction against federal agents & federal facilities will NOT be tolerated. It’s COMMON SENSE.”

Hegseth Schools Democrat Rep Over 2020 Riots, She Changes Subject FAST https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/wa...ver-2020-riots-she-changes-subject-fast-mace/ A heated exchange erupted Tuesday during a House hearing as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shot back at Rep. Betty McCollum (D-MN) after she criticized President Trump’s decision to deploy U.S. Marines and National Guard troops to riot-stricken Los Angeles. McCollum, a Minnesota Democrat, used her time to scold Trump’s recent executive order authorizing federal military deployments to restore order amid days of escalating riots tied to ICE operations in California. But Hegseth wasn’t about to let her rewrite history. “I recall 2020 quite well,” Hegseth told McCollum. “Governor Walz abandoned a police precinct and allowed it to be burned to the ground… and also allowed five days of chaos to occur inside the streets of Minneapolis.” McCollum had attempted to frame the current unrest in L.A. as being less severe than the George Floyd riots, insisting that local police and the National Guard were enough to handle things in her state back then. “I was in the Twin Cities during the riots that followed the murder of George Floyd… At no point did we need… the Marines to be deployed,” McCollum said during her opening remarks. “Law enforcement and the National Guard are more than capable of handling situations more volatile than what happened this weekend.” But Hegseth fired back with facts that hit close to home. “The police precinct, ma’am, was abandoned and burned to the ground. And because of that, the National Guard was eventually, far too late, mobilized.”
Pete Hegseth Triggers Dem Senator By Informing Her She Ran Out of Time https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/wa...r-by-informing-her-she-ran-out-of-time-mstef/ Pete Hegseth ran laps around Democratic U.S. senators on Wednesday while appearing at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, at one point provoking an outburst after he gently pointed out that a far-left senator’s time had expired. The Trump defense secretary was fielding questions from Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) when the Nevada Democrat ran out of time, a window being watched closely by Hegseth. She had just finished challenging him to explain the firing of Gen. Timothy Haugh, who was relieved of duty in April. “Yes or no?” she asked in a clip that’s since gone viral. Hegseth checked the time before turning on his microphone. “I believe your time is up, senator,” he replied calmly, causing Rosen to go ballistic.
NY Times Ripped After Accusing Hegseth Of ‘Sexism’ Over Iran Strikes Press Conference https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/ny...exism-over-iran-strikes-press-conference-cmc/ The New York Times is being relentlessly mocked for accusing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth of “sexism” for his word choices when praising U.S. service members after strikes on Iranian nuclear sites Saturday night. During a joint press conference alongside Joint Chiefs Chairman General Dan Caine, Hegseth discussed the precision B-2 bomber operation that targeted Iran’s Fordow uranium enrichment site. “Iran is calculating the reality that planes flew from the middle of America in MISSOURI over night, completely undetected, over 3 of their most highly sensitive sites. And we were able to destroy nuclear capabilities,” he said. Hegseth then delivered the line that New York Times “fact checkers” objected to, when he stated that, “our boys in those bombers are on their way home right now.”
