Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) didn’t waste time on formalities during a tense Senate Appropriations hearing Tuesday, zeroing in on the Trump administration’s stance on the Russia and putting Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on the spot.
The interrogation comes as the Trump administration’s approach to the Russia-Ukraine war appears to have undergone a marked shift, moving from threats of sanctions and bold promises of rapid peace to a posture of disengagement and transactional diplomacy.
Watch the video. Hegseth never answered the question. Rather, he bounced around it and only used the time to criticize the previous administration...cause that is what these trump people do. They deflect and deny. They never really answer questions. They come up with these diatribes that end up blaming someone else for their incompetence.
