Asked about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s standing with Congress to date, a Democratic lawmaker told the co-hosts of MS NOW’s “The Weekend” that there is a growing movement to see him gone.Appearing on Saturday morning, Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) took his own shots at the controversial former Fox News personality, before he was asked, “Should Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, should he stick around? ““Oh, absolutely not,” he quickly replied. “And by the way, behind the scenes, Republicans cannot wait to get rid of this guy,” he added. “I mean, there was, there's some serious debate about whether [ex-DHS Secretary Kristi] Noem or Hegseth should go first.”“But for most of the time that I've been in Congress this year, most Republicans have said Hegseth first,” he continued. “I mean, that's literally where it is: Which one of these people is so bad that Trump should fire them first?”Asked who is gunning for Hegseth, he replied, “Well, there's a long list and many of them are on the Armed Services Committee. But the point is that none of them will say it in public. None of them have the courage to say any of this in public. Even when the Venezuela vote strikes started, I heard Republicans say, ‘If Biden were doing this, we would raise bloody hell,’ end quote, from Republicans. But they're totally cowed by Donald Trump and that's just so pathetic.” - YouTube youtu.be
