“In 1890 this nation corralled, then slaughtered, between 250 and 300 Lakota Sioux...20 U.S. Army soldiers received the Congressional Medal of Honor – the highest military honor.”
Hegseth describes the killers as “brave soldiers” who “deserve those medals.”
Also, Hegseth is an asshat.

President Trump’s deployment of military troops and federal agents to DC is not about increasing public safety — it’s a blatant attempt to abuse his power to serve his own political agenda.
To truly protect the people living in our nation’s capital, Congress must make DC a state immediately.
