NEW on CNN: In several old videos we found, Pete Hegseth blasted Trump in 2016 warning he could issue unlawful orders that troops should refuse, calling him an “armchair tough guy” with five draft deferments.
Now he’s attacking Democrats for saying same.

ICE use of Border Control agents is disgusting. Most of these agents are criminals with a badge, running free rein on innocent people. Just like the prison guards ICE has hired. They are thugs and losers.
