He pointed to a news conference that day where he said Hegseth was "screaming at reporters" and said Hegseth "makes it about himself, not about the troops."

You also conclude that guilty is the verdict. Well, look, it's up to Congress, but he's gonna get impeached. I mean, whether it's now, whether it's before the January, or whether it's in January itself after the Democrats take the gavel. But to me, Aaron, it's not about impeachment. If you're somebody, if you look at that news conference that Hegze did today, where he's screaming at reporters and he's yelling across them, He looked like a Fox News fire breather, frankly, or a cable news fire breather who is trying to get a point across. So he's essentially somebody who is, he makes it about himself, not about the troops. He makes it about, he actually likes this, this to have the focus on him and to be able to, it's as if he's on a set of Fox News.
