I think I've seen enough ...
Pete Hegseth
Official portrait, 2025
A house GOP representative finally spoke the truth about Hegseth and it's about time.
Don Bacon doubles down on Hegseth criticism:
‘I think I’ve seen enough’
Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) took his criticism of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth a step further Friday, claiming the Pentagon chief’s recent decisions have
“ruined his credibility.”
“I’ve been on the record already,”
he told Politico’s Dasha Burns, who also hosts
“Ceasefire”
on C-SPAN.
“
After Signalgate,
I think I’ve seen enough. What I really wanted to see was someone take responsibility
— own to a mistake.”
“And then when he blamed the media or the, you know, the journalist for the story, it just
— it ruined his credibility
,”
he added.
The Nebraska Republican noted that Hegseth
“had some issues”
going into confirmation hearings, after President Trump tapped him to lead the Pentagon. But, once he was confirmed, Bacon continued, he wanted to give the former Fox News host
“a fair chance.”
“But I — what I’ve seen is what I call just poor decision-making,”
the lawmaker, who will retire at the end of the term, told Burns.
His remarks come after a watchdog report released earlier this week found that Hegseth
endangered the troops and violated department policy by using his personal cell phone to send classified information about a pending strike on Houthi targets in Yemen through the Signal app.
It's time for Hegseth to go, now.
