Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth just took aim at Senator Mark Kelly, again, this time over comments the latter made during CBS’s Face the Nation. According to The Hill, Hegseth accused Kelly of sharing classified information. The controversy centered on a discussion regarding the current state of the United States weapons stockpiles, which Kelly noted have been heavily depleted due to the ongoing war with Iran.
Hegseth, who is a retired Major, struck out at the Arizona senator on X, by initially taking a shot at his retirement rank. “‘Captain’ Mark Kelly strikes again,” Hegseth wrote in response to a post by “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan. “Now he’s blabbing on TV (falsely & dumbly) about a CLASSIFIED Pentagon briefing he received. Did he violate his oath…again?” Hegseth further stated that the Pentagon’s legal counsel would be reviewing the lawmaker’s remarks.
