1:47Now PlayingSen. Kirsten Gillibrand clashed with Pete Hegseth during a Senate hearing as she questioned him over what she described as inconsistencies in his past statements about Iran. Hegseth responded with a smirk, accusing Gillibrand of trying to make "campaign commercials" rather than focus on the issue, saying, "We're staying laser focused on the objective. And you're trying to make campaign commercials, and that's fine."
