Republican Rep. Don Bacon said Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s “poor decision-making” on Signalgate, the departure of legacy journalists in the Pentagon and his position on Ukraine joining NATO have “ruined his credibility.”
Joining Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna on C-SPAN’s Ceasefire, set to air Friday evening, Bacon expressed disappointment in Hegseth’s job performance over the last few months and renewed criticism against him. Pressure has been mounting on the Defense Secretary over legally contentious airstrikes on alleged drug dealers that have left more than 80 people dead.
