In further video evidence from 2016, then-Major Pete Hegseth criticizes President Trump as “an armchair tough guy” and repeats similar language that Slotkin and others said in
their video
on illegal orders.
President Trump called for Slotkin and five other Democratic lawmakers with service and veteran backgrounds to be hanged for remarks that sound strikingly similar to Secretary Hegseth’s repeated comments in 2016.
