Very proud that he is my congressman.
Himes: I know what was happening here. You just have to read Pete Hegseth’s typed text about ‘F-18s launching, accompanied by MQ-9s, weather good, Centcom says go.’ This is Pete Hegseth playing soldier. It’s just the testosterone rush he gets when he types ‘MQ-9s en route.’
This is his life now. He’s nowhere near qualified for the position he holds, so when he gets on a Signal chat with his buddies and says, ‘We’re a go. Centcom says all in. F-18s,’ it just makes him feel really, really good.
Sadly, of course, it puts our people at risk.
