During a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) aggressively questioned Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over the controversial firing of Gen. Timothy Haugh, allegedly linked to far-right activist Laura Loomer’s influence in personnel decisions. Rosen expressed concern that Loomer’s presence in the White House might compromise national security, noting that Haugh was a highly capable leader within United States Cyber Command. Hegseth’s evasive responses and a heated exchange led to accusations of unprofessionalism as Rosen criticized his demeanor during the confrontation.
I believe your time is up. It is not up to you whether my time is up, Rosen shot back. As Rosen was informed by committee chairman Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS) that her time was indeed up, she took some final shots at Hegseth as he apparently sneered at her: I don't appreciate the smirk, sir. You are the secretary of defense!
The White House fired one of our best generals and the smartest on cyber operations, and with no explanation. Russia and China are laughing at us.
