Pete Hegseth

American people voted for President Trump overwhelmingly.

They voted for that position.

And then we heard this cross-examination from Democratic Congress member Goodlander.

And she was saying, so do you agree with the statement that the military should not follow unlawful orders?

And then Hanks is like, what a partisan talking point that is.

Here, play this clip.

I do.

I do, but understand what you're insinuating at a partisan point.

Next up, Democratic Congress member Moulton, a veteran himself, was cross-examining Hegseth.

Hegseth was standing by his no-quarter statement, which is a war crime, where Hegseth said that if in a war people are surrendering...

You are allowed to kill them and show them no quarter.

Watch this cross-examination by Moulton.

Here, play this clip.

Now, quickly, on March 13th in a press conference, you said we will give them no quarter, no mercy.

In order for no quarter or no survivors is a war crime under the Geneva Conventions.

You understand that's murder.

Do you stand by that statement?

The Department of War fights to win, and we ensure that our warfighters have the rules of engagement necessary to be as effective as humanly possible, which they are.

Okay, so just to be clear, you called Democratic members of Congress to be tried for sedition for reminding our troops to follow the law.

But when you tell them to commit a war crime, you stand by yourself.
