Trump administration nemesis Gavin Newsom suggested Pete Hegseth should take a drug test after the Pentagon chief’s ranting rebuttal of claims about horror conditions on a U.S. warship.
“We make sure that every ship, every crew, every captain, has everything we can provide them at every single moment,” an intense Hegseth, 46, told reporters in Panama, referring to the USS Abraham Lincoln, an aircraft carrier on extended deployment near Iran.
The defense secretary’s comments follow reports that several service members tried to jump overboard due to worsening conditions on the ship, including shortages of basic supplies, moldy showers, and long stretches without hot water. Service members’ mental health is also a concern, their family members have said.
