YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn a stunning Senate confrontation, Senator Tammy Duckworth — a combat veteran and double amputee — takes Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to task for a series of catastrophic failures. From wasting over $1 billion on a failed mission against the Houthis, to losing F-18s and Reaper drones, to sharing classified info over Signal with his wife, Duckworth doesn't hold back.
She accuses Hegseth of misusing U.S. troops for political theater, gutting military readiness, and creating a toxic command environment that senior leaders want no part of.
Duckworth also blasts him for defending Confederate-named bases over real American heroes, calling it an insult to every soldier who ever served with honor.
This powerful moment shows why accountability at the highest levels of the Pentagon is no longer optional.
🇺🇸 Watch until the end for Duckworth’s emotional rebuke and her demand for leadership that puts country over politics.
