YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn a tense and revealing House Armed Services Committee hearing, Rep. Jill Tokuda (D-HI) confronted Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on two major fronts:
1️⃣ A potential conflict of interest involving Elon Musk’s backdoor access to the Pentagon while holding billions in defense contracts
2️⃣ A refusal to deny that he would follow a presidential order to fire on American protesters
Tokuda presses Hegseth repeatedly—and when asked whether he would carry out such an unconstitutional order, Hegseth dodges every time.
In her words: “This is not hypothetical. This is happening now.”
This is one of the most chilling exchanges to come out of Congress this year.
