Secretary without Defense Pete Hegseth is putting both feet in his mouth again.
Just days after an appellate court ruled an earlier attempt to "punish" Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona for advising current soldiers not to obey illegal orders, the former Fox No News personality is going after Kelly again after Kelly appeared Sunday on Face The Nation, and told moderator Margaret Brennan that Hegseth had told him that it would actually take years to replenish certain stockpiles in a conversation a few days prior.
Hegseth, of course, is pandering to president Trump and his base of marks, but, as was the case before, this will fail. Kelly, on Nation, recalled telling Hegseth that the conflict with Iran is proving costly to the American people, and Trump & Hegseth haven't shared with the country what their goal is.
This latest attempt follows the report that the US Court of Appeals, per MSN, seems likely to confirm that Hegseth's attempt at disciplinary action against Kelly will fail. Hegseth has intentionally misinterpreted Kelly's remarks to suit the administration's misguided agenda.
There's a better chance that the egg brained Hegseth will wind up falling on his virtual sword, the next cabinet member dumped by Trump.
Stay tuned.
