Hegseth won't commit to following court rulings on troops in LA

(The Hill) Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth refused to commit to following federal court or Supreme Court rulings regarding the Pentagon’s extraordinary deployment of National Guard members and Marines into Los Angeles.

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) pressed Hegseth on the question, which he repeatedly dodged.

“What I will tell you is my job right now is to ensure the troops that we have in Los Angeles are capable of supporting law enforcement,” Hegseth told Khanna.

After another effort, Hegseth said the U.S. should not have “local judges determining foreign policy or national security policy for the country.”

he's the national and foreign security problem! Sending out classified information; putting our troops in harms way. He needs to resign like yesterday. He's the laughing stock of the Intelligence world. If he won't go peacefully, FORCE him out.
