ARLINGTON, VA – A Pentagon spokesperson has fired back at Congressman Pat Ryan (D, NY-18) after he announced on Wednesday the launch of firehegseth.com in an effort to remove Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
Hegseth has faced criticism after an attack on an alleged Venezuelan drug boat killed two survivors, which some believe may have violated the laws governing the use of deadly military force.
“While Pat tries to win points with his base, Secretary Hegseth will continue to protect the homeland,” Pentagon Press Secretary Kingsley Wilson said. “This is just another charade in an attempt to distract the American people from the major successes we have had here at the Department of War.”
Ryan, a frequent critic of President Trump, contends that the Commander-in-Chief is covering up for Hegseth.
