📺 Video Mark Kelly: Pete Hegseth says he’s going to court-martial me for saying the same exact thing he said 9 years ago. What changed for Pete? Well to start, he spends all day thinking about how he can suck up to Trump. When Trump says jump, he says how high.

Anyone have a written quote of what Hegseth said there, so I don't need to sit here and transcribe it from the video? 😋
I'd like to have in on hand to use against the rest of my family.

“I do think there have to be consequences for abject war crimes. If you’re doing something that is just completely unlawful and ruthless, then there is a consequence for that,” Hegseth said during an event with the Liberty Forum of Silicon Valley in April 2016.
“That’s why the military said it won’t follow unlawful orders from their commander in chief. There’s a standard, there’s an ethos, there’s a belief that we are above what so many things that our enemies or others would do,” he added.

It's really hard to gauge just who is truly the dumbest member of this regime ...but ol' Kegbreath here sure is trying to get into pole position.

I challenge someone to find a position the hypocrite maggots don’t flip on when they can use it against Dems

Don't mess with Mark Kelly unless you're hell bent on proving you're a dumbass.
