CNN Republican commentator Scott Jennings laid into the Democrats who are calling for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s ouster over the Signal-chat SNAFU that resulted in The Atlantic Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg being added to a chat group discussing military strikes on Houthi terrorists.
In the wake of President Donald Trump’s assurance that he does not plan to fire anyone over the Signal incident, Jennings joined Sunday’s broadcast of “State of the Union” and pointed out the hypocrisy of Democrats who were calling for Hegseth’s head despite remaining silent when military leadership under President Joe Biden made decisions that resulted in the deaths of 13 American service-members. He also pointed out the fact that many had remained silent when then-Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin effectively went AWOL — leaving a subordinate in charge while he was hospitalized, but failing to apprise even the White House of the situation.

“If you’re trying to assess ‘what should we do about it,’ I hear Democrats arguing, ‘Well, we should fire Pete Hegseth,’ or, ‘We should fire the National Security Adviser,'” Jennings began. “The bar for firing people like this is really high from the last administration when after the Afghanistan withdrawal, which was a disaster, people died, no accountability was meted out. After the drone strike that vaporized those poor kids and that family, no accountability. After the secretary of defense went AWOL, no accountability.”
“So if you’re arguing today that we should get rid of Pete Hegseth over a small mistake regarding communications — even while he was expertly executing this military operation against the Houthi rebels, which also the Biden administration didn’t take up, I just ‚ I don’t have a lot of time for that argument,” Jennings continued.
Another panelist pushed back, arguing that by taking questions and calling for a review, Austin had provided “accountability.”
Jennings was not convinced: “Did a single Democrat ask for his resignation?”
Yes. I do not get it. Waltz probably, Wong definitely. The whole thing was a set up to get Pete, but it isn’t working. Just because he was at the meeting does not make him responsible. The Left is shielding THEIR people who were in on the set up: Waltz being one.
Goldberg should be charged with treason...holding onto then releasing military information that puts US soldiers lives at risk.
Yes, the Left is saying “looky, see,” and pointing to Secretary Hegseth so people forget about the SPY who had no business reading or passing on the conversation.
The Republicans need to stop being stupid and swing around to looking at Goldberg.
Babble-on, what was the joke the Trump Administration performed?
The lefties believe that WE are ALL stupid and will fall for their lies. Sadly, some do, but the vast majority of us don't and NEVER shall believe their propaganda.
Why even talk to these people anymore at this point? You can’t debate facts with people who lie about ‘facts’ for a living.
Hegseth isn’t going anywhere. Let the Demoterrorists bang their heads against the wall.
Yes, it could, and I wouldn't be surprised if there was an ongoing investigation that no one has been told about.
🤔. Good question.
Please don't be so pessimistic; many Gen Zers ( including more girls than you know about ) of ALL races, voted for Trump in '24.
Are there still a LOT of STUPIDS out there? YES; sadly!
AND by the CIA
and the FBI
and the Senate
and the House
and the DOJ
and the DOD
and the White House Chefs, the Maintenance Staff, and the Dog Walkers.
Do you know who owns the Signal App ?
CLUE: Don’t get all a twitter when I X out his name.
His name: XXXX XXXX
Business as usual then.
Democrats: Blah, blah, blah, blah.
