Republican Rips Pentagon Pete’s ‘Amateur Hour’ Attempt to Punish Trump Target

Hegseth, who now calls himself the ‘Secretary of War’ as part of his attempted makeover of the Defense Department, ordered the probe after Navy veteran Kelly and five other Democratic lawmakers appeared in a minute-long video urging service members to “refuse illegal orders.”
