SEN. MARK KELLY: "DONALD TRUMP SHOULD FIRE HIM"
Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly — a Navy combat veteran — says Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has to go.
🎤 TO CNN'S JAKE TAPPER:
"Donald Trump should fire him."
"If he doesn't fire him, we'll see what Republicans in the House want to do. It sounds like they want to impeach him."
"I would like to see him go as soon as possible because he is just unable to do this job and he's doing significant damage to the US military."
⚔️ THE BACKDROP
Republicans are moving to blame Hegseth for Tuesday's defeat, and the House could vote as soon as next week to impeach him (CNN).
🏛️ TRUMP'S SIDE
Trump says Hegseth is "doing a very good job."
