See below for reactions by Sen. Mark Warner and Rep. Eugene Vindman (D-VA07) to the latest lunacy by Pete Hegseth et al. First, Sen. Warner says:
“While were gathering with family and friends…we still live in the greatest country in the world, [but] we continue to hear that country’s reputation being besmirched. These reports about Pete Hegseth potentially ordering a second lethal strike; what kind of symbol does that send about America? I obviously have called for Pete Hegseth to be fired since early in the days of Signalgate; the fact that he’s still there is an embarassment. As well, we have this constant buildup of military forces off Venezuela’s coast. And again, I can tell you, there is no authorization for the president to do anything around Venezuela. We live in a great country, but that great country has to be built on values and principles; those are not the values and principles that this administration exhibits virtually ever.”
Next, here’s Rep. Eugene Vindman (D-VA07) pointing out, correctly, that “there are two overwhelming characteristics of the Trump Administration: malice and incompetence”; and that Hegseth “is a textbook example of both.” Bingo!
