During a congressional hearing on Thursday, Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-CA) asked Secretary of State Pete Hegseth, “Do you think political allegiance to Trump is a requirement for serving our nation, either in uniform or a civilian in the department?”
It’s a relevant question given reports that Dear Leader has been requiring loyalty tests.
But Hegseth, obviously more concerned with playing to the TV cameras than with serving Americans, said with a smirk, “I’m incredibly proud, as are millions of Americans…”
Carbajal wasn’t having it. “No, no, no, no, no, not today” he said, interrupting. “Yes or no.”
Obviously, Hegseth didn’t want to provide what should have been an obvious “no” answer. So, he went on the attack. “Congressman, you know what a silly question that is,” he sneered.
Carbajal shot back, “It’s silly enough to warrant a very straightforward answer: Yes or no.”
Hegseth continued filibustering with his BS response. “We all support and defend the Constitution of the United States,” he began.
