“Pete Hegseth is a f???ing liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed. He needs to resign in disgrace immediately,” Duckworth said in a statement.
“Hegseth and every other official who was included in this group chat must be subject to an independent investigation. If Republicans won’t join us in holding the Trump Administration accountable, then they are complicit in this dangerous and likely criminal breach of our national security.”

Pete Hegseth is a fucking liarThis was before we knew Pete was also sending classified info to his wife and others. Clearly unacceptable nor defensible.
