Sen. Chris Coons confronts Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth
Hegseth gets performatively indignant instead of answering Chris Coons's straightforward question about what the military's plan is for reopening the Strait of Hormuz (It's pretty clear there is no plan ... )
Jack Brand60Can we just let Colin Jost take the place of Hegseth in these hearings? We would get the exact same information, but it would be more entertaining. 🤷♂️
Chris⚖️Justice35Losing an illegal war Pathetic losers with no hope
Tooey27If Iran has been a threat for 47 years, why didn’t Trump didn’t go after them during his first term? 🤔
Jason Barabba (he/him) 🌈🇺🇸🇮🇹25I really wish someone would ask him if he needs a moment to control himself, suggest he sounds emotional, and then tell him he should smile more.
Saint Sherman - The Ultimate Patriot24He should have asked the drunk why his "war machine" allowed the strait to be closed to all traffic?
T-Fish🇨🇦🍁17He thinks it shows strength with answers like this and the veins popping in his head. It only shows weakness and ineptitude for a man woefully out of his league with the job he was given. And America is paying the price
Hagen Patrick16It's always fun to see some asshole who values his worth by the number of push-ups he can do, even in these circumstances.
Middlerage14But they can confirm there will be "no dudes in dresses" or "beardos" 🙄
Robinette13Seems all he has to say is that prez is great and everything he does is right. Okey dokey.
Christian Petersen12Giving this horrible little man-child a ridiculous amount of power has really unleashed his inner psychopath.
The Hot Stepper12Step 1. Bomb Step 2. ???? Step 3. Profit!! I imagine this was the entire war plan
🖇️ Jane11He begins the same way but gets louder and exaggerates his facial features and hand gestures to the extreme. Nothing but a puffed up PAB with #MommyIssues
jmarty6263.bsky.social10Highly unqualified to be in charge of the military.
David9The man is so unqualified. cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/05/i-re...
Jay Lionel8The plan is to pretend that THE US is blockading it. Then berate allies for not mopping up their shit. Pretend some more. A bit more market manipulation. Then claim victory.
Greg He/Him/Hisownself8a large portion of the US stopped developing in high school and now those people are in charge of the government and military.
Chrisby7WHY didn't COONS mention the IRAN DEAL that OBAMA had in place those 7 years ago that dickhead, TFG, canceled!? Hmmmm, why isn't that mentioned here?? Hegseth again said 'previous administrations' blah blah blah - NO NUCLEAR WEAPON!!
Friend of Nature6Hegseth needs to be reminded that CONGRESS SUPERVISES HIM!!
Liberty and Justice for All6He's a little drama queen.
DH 🗽🐋 🐝 🧪 ❌👑 🖕🏻🧊6There is no plan. Because there is no intelligence. There is no intelligence because tRump only brought myopic, damaged asshołes into his Cabinet and senior positions. He’s lost. Kegsbreath is lost. And, now, America is lost. 8647
HossJD5This is what happens when you have a multi bankrupted real estate developer with multiple failed businesses and an alcoholic, white nationalist with terminal Little Man’s Syndrome plan a war.
Robyn5It’s what they do especially if being questioned by a Democrat. “How dare you question the great Oz”
Kim Nichols5Coons needs to take the upper hand with that POS - he keeps letting him interrupt.
Tom Shafer4"47 years this has been going on," says Kegs-breath, yet the Strait of Hormuz has only been closed to commercial traffic since Donald and Bibi started their war-of-choice. No other American president was dumb enough to get dog-walked into this morass.
Bijou wants to eat the rich🏳️⚧️☕️4They do have a plan. It will just be announced in 2 weeks, like trumps concept of a concept of a healthcare plan he announced would be out in 2 weeks. Nearly almost 11 years ago…. Patience is a virtue…. 💀 🩻
TheMeanstroke4The fucking strait was open two months ago. Fuck YOU Hegseth
Giancarlo Collado ✨🩷💛🩵✨🇩🇴🍉3Pete literally can’t defend his stupidity. So like all of Trumps goons all he can do is gaslight and yell. And if that doesn’t work yell louder. SMH 🤦🏾♂️
Jenna3Performative indignance is a hallmark of this administration.
sbterp5.bsky.social3Someone please tell Drunk petey that the 9/11 Terrorists didn't have a Navy or an Air Force.
Dogmama95374 days in? So he's admitting they're past the 60 day limit?
Mr Answer3So, please tell us why oil tankers are not getting through the strait if we control the fucking thing!
Max the Silent3Can you not just shut that fucking idiots mouth and ask him to answer the fucking question straight ffs? It’s so easy to do but these people just let him off the hook being mild Mannered
I Love This Post2Is the fact that Coons takes AIPAC money, lunches with Bibi and votes to confirm Trump’s federal judges have anything to do with the fact that he lets Hegseth blabber on like this? Is he not familiar with the phrase “answer my question”?
JoeCGiles2Their plan is to keep it closed as long as possible. As a gift to US adversaries.
Carol Roper2The USA plan should be to declare victory and withdraw. Let experienced diplomats (the USA administration has none) from other countries negotiate the opening of the Strait. Alternatively, the USA can face a potential stand off with Russia and China who support Iran.
Jerry, you gotta see the baby!2it's all war-game video playing for the Fox news reader.
SJTMay2I doubt that there was ever an actual plan!
Zdh872Hegseth such a whiny asshole.
BeTheChange2I will not, I can not bring myself to watch or listen another word come from its mouth. This defines INSANITY! At this stage the US needs to elevate itself just to reach ‘Banana Republic’ status! Let me know when an organized group of caring citizens are going to DC to end this. Until then…
Better Ways Better Days2Arrogant BS spewing indignant half truthers need to answer the questions or have their microphones shut off instead of letting them eat up congress people time. Arrogant interrogation with derogatory trick questions intended to trap people by forcing limited answers should be prohibited too.
Hope, actually. She/Her🫘 🥄 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 🇺🇦2“72 days in”…..wait, I thought the 60-day clock stopped?
You say we're 74 days in, huh, Pete? Didn't you guys need Congressional authority for more than 60?
My message to Pete Hegseth on Trump's $1.5 trillion war budget: “Every gun made... every rocket fired signifies... a theft from those who hunger and are not fed... This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the hopes of its children.”
Brad3SO WHAT ARE YOU, one of the most powerful people in the country, going to do? Use your power to slow down the Senate? Deny unanimous consent? Or just do the usual Dem thing of posting on social media and then head to lunch with Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz?
Rob2It’s nice that you’re speaking out, but I think we’re all a little tired of seeing the opposition pen strongly worded letters. It’s time to fight, and we want to hear our elected officials tell us how, specifically, they’re fighting for us.
