Pete Hegseth Silences Senator After She Crosses The Line With Outrageous Question!
According to NBC News, the hearing took a contentious turn when Senator Mazie Hirono (D-HI) posed a provocative question to Hegseth, seemingly aimed at portraying President Trump as authoritarian. Hirono asked, “If ordered by the President to shoot peaceful protesters in the legs, would you carry out such an order?”
This inquiry appeared to suggest that the President might endorse violence against individuals exercising their First Amendment rights....
Hegseth, unfazed by the senator's line of questioning, responded decisively, “Senator, as I have said before, of course, I reject the premise of your question. And the characterization that I would be given unlawful orders, it’s all meant to smear the commander in chief, and I won’t fall for it.” His retort effectively dismissed Hirono's insinuations, underscoring his loyalty to the President and the rule of law

Former Pentagon chief Esper says Trump asked about shooting protesters
"The president was enraged," Esper recalled. "He thought that the protests made the country look weak, made us look weak and 'us' meant him. And he wanted to do something about it.
"We reached that point in the conversation where he looked frankly at [Joint Chiefs of Staff] Gen. [Mark] Milley and said, 'Can't you just shoot them, just shoot them in the legs or something?' ... It was a suggestion and a formal question. And we were just all taken aback at that moment as this issue just hung very heavily in the air."
The point being that MAGAts and Toadies are the dumbest pieces of **** alive.
Mazie Hirono is unarguably the dumbest **** to ever hold a senate seat.
