Hegseth reportedly screamed: “I’LL HOOK YOU UP TO A FUCKING POLYGRAPH!” at the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs.
Hegseth went into meltdown trying to find who leaked news about Musk’s briefing on China.
He’s unstable, unfit & finished.

The phrase "constitutional crisis" is a euphemism. It fails to convey that one person is at war with the Constitution, despite having sworn a solemn oath to defend it. It's more like a constitutional killing.
