During a contentious session of the House Armed Services Committee, Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-CA) strongly criticized Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for avoiding direct answers to questions regarding political allegiance and leadership fitness. Carbajal expressed his frustration, labeling Hegseth an "embarrassment to this country" and urged him to resign. Hegseth's dismissal of serious inquiries as "silly" only intensified Carbajal's condemnation. This exchange led to another congressman leaving the chamber in protest, prompting the committee chairman to remind members to maintain decorum.
You're not worthy of my attention or my questions. You're an embarrassment to this country. You're unfit to lead... You should just get the hell out.
I would urge everybody to remember and maintain decorum suitable for this chamber for further comments.
