Hegseth in 2016
Comment between 00:22 and 00:45.
“I do think there have to be consequences for abject war crimes. If you’re doing something that is just completely unlawful and ruthless, then there is a consequence for that. That’s why the military said it won’t follow unlawful orders from their commander in chief. There’s a standard, there’s an ethos. There’s a belief that we are above what so many things that our enemies or others would do.”
So what's different now? The hypocrisy is entirely about Hegseth currently swinging from Trump's nutsack.
