Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stood strong against Senator Elizabeth Warren’s attacks during a Senate hearing. Warren pushed Hegseth to say if he’d send troops to U.S. cities if President Trump ordered it. Hegseth shot back with facts and refused to play games with made-up scenarios.
Warren tried to trap Hegseth by asking about sending Marines to Chicago or New York. She acted like President Trump would just order troops anywhere for no reason. Hegseth reminded her that troops were only sent to protect ICE agents in Los Angeles from violent mobs.
Hegseth made it clear that protecting American law enforcement is non-negotiable. He said ICE agents deserve to do their jobs without being attacked. The Defense Department proudly helps guard our borders – something the last administration failed to do.
Warren kept pushing with wild “what if” questions about 15 cities. Hegseth wouldn’t take the bait. He called out her fake scenarios, saying they had no connection to reality. He focused on real security needs, not political games.
The Secretary emphasized the urgent need to secure America’s borders after years of neglect. He pointed out how previous leaders let 21 million illegal immigrants flood into our country. Now we’re finally fixing that disaster with common-sense protection.
Hegseth slammed Warren’s fearmongering about troops in American cities. He explained that deployments only happen when local leaders refuse to uphold the law. When governors like California’s fail, the federal government must step in to keep Americans safe.
This clash showed the sharp contrast between conservative action and liberal weakness. While Democrats worry about criminals and illegal immigrants, we’re focused on protecting law enforcement and stopping chaos. Hegseth proved that strong leadership means making tough calls.
In the end, Hegseth’s patriotism outshined Warren’s grandstanding. He stood for our troops, our borders, and our safety. Common-sense Americans know real security means defending our homeland first – not caving to radical demands.
