Smirking Hegseth dressed down as 'immature' to his face over Pentagon firing non-answer

Ugh. Hegseth is a pseudo-macho bully-boy who speaks in bombastic word salad. He has no class or decency; he's all puffery, all for show, just like he was on Fox. He's gotta go.

According to Plastered Pete, the U.S.-Iran war is a "gift to the world."
Pete is unqualified,unfit,and a bombastic idiot.
