Friday on MS NOW’s “On the Line,” host Alicia Menendez said Democratic candidates have made Secretary of War Pete Hegseth “the new boogeyman on the campaign trail.”
Menendez said, “Calls are growing for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to lose his job over horrific conditions facing our service members aboard the USS Lincoln. The aircraft carrier has set a modern day record for consecutive days at sea. It has been deployed for nearly nine months as part of President Trump’s war of choice with Iran. Democratic Senate Leader Chuck Schumer says Hegseth must be fired immediately, and he is not alone. Here’s what else we’ve heard, including from Congressman and veteran Jake Auchincloss on this show just yesterday.”
On Thursday’s show, Menendez said, “You have repeatedly called on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to resign. If Democrats are to take back control of Congress, will impeachment be a priority?”
Auchincloss answered, “Yes, it should be, absolutely. We need an inquiry. We need oversight and investigations. And if the facts yield an impeachment recommendation, we need to pursue that vigorously.”
Menendez said, “You have a growing number of Democrats who are calling for Hegseth to either be fired or have raised the possibility of impeachment. At the same time, you’ve got political reporting that the Democratic candidates have made Hegseth the new boogeyman on the campaign trail. They’re planning to shift their attacks from President Trump to Hegseth.”

That's an impeachable offense?
This is absolute bullsh*t.
This is absolute bullsh*t. These folks are being paid by the IRGC and China.
He’s the most Trump-like in terms of demeanor. He’d make a good successor.
Friday on MS NOW
Correction
Friday on pMS NOW’
Someone send them some midol
Since when did democrats start caring about our servicemen and women anyways?
What’s deplorable is the way those leftists treated the returning servicemen and POW’s during the Viet Nam era?
That’s what they REALLY think of them.
President Trump has some 100% loyalists. Hegeseth, Marco Rubio, Scott Bessent, JD Vance. Karoline Leavitt who just had to leave for her two new babies.
There are others.
Dems hate war and the DofW, the military etc
They start all of the forever wars. But we let them pretend that’s not the case
Desperate Democrats grasping at straws.
They are very afraid of him.
Only Trump, cannot be bought, though. No one else MAGA has the deep pockets. I have not seen rallies like Trumps, in my lifetime.
... We need an inquiry. We need oversight and investigations...
Ever notice how Dem led oversight and investigations typically lead to something ... but, Repub led investigations are Investigations to Nowhere?
This is absolute bullsh*t. These folks are being paid by the IRGC and China.
Agree.
What’s become of that ... US journalists being paid by IRGC and CCP, anyway?
Pete Hegseth was the target of the lunatic left long before now. They were taking potshots at him when he was up for confirmation, and they have never let up. The latest, that the aircraft carrier ABRAHAM LINCOLN had the longest ever deployment at sea, and sailor morale aboard that ship was at the lowest point in modern seafaring, are talking points of no meaningful consequence, because the ship was always well-supplied with the items of daily consumption, and the incidents of individual troubled behavior were much exaggerated in scope and consequences.
A little perspective is required.
During any war or war fighting, our armed forces are required to do what they volunteered to, and now the fat old politicians want to use them as objects to shame the War Department.
Screw the demonRATs, our brave fighters don't want or need this kind of fake concern, because we all know that the demonRATs don't give a rip about our fighters.
Democrats always makes normal people and good things a Boogeyman.
I pray the DoW finds those who have “complained” and does what needs to be done to end their ability to want to complain again.
Being the Democrats’ boogeyman is not a bad thing - I’d take that as a compliment.
I think they might think as I do that he would be a strong POTUS candidate in two years. They might as well start the attacks ASAP.
