Pete Hegseth Refuses To Answer Whether He Would Follow Donald Trump's Unconstitutional Order

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump's nominee to be the next Secretary of Defense, has refused to answer whether or not Hegseth, as Secretary, would follow an unconstitutional order given by Donald Trump.

This line of questioning was brought up during a back-and-forth with Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin who asked Hegseth whether it was possible for a President to give an unconstitutional order, and if so, whether he, as Secretary would execute one given by Trump.

In response to the questioning, Hegseth dodged giving a full answer and simply repeated the fact that in his opinion he did not believe Trump would give an unconstitutional order.

Hegseth's refusal to answer a simple question is concerning and reflective of his qualifications to lead the United States military. If the Secretary of Defense will not refuse an unlawful order from the President of the United States, then the American people are left with one less person to check the President's power.

2. Biden should take the launch codes with him

Lord help us. We'll be lucky if the country is not in smoldering ruins after 4 more years of the tangerine fool.

3. Anyone who does not follow Trump's orders will be fired.

Or killed.

Like Trump wanted to do with Mike Pence on 1/6.

So if you are not going to follow Trump's illegal orders, don't take the job.

5. I guess I was detached but I'm really starting to get worried.

Their world is actually working in the real world and it’s completely epicenters on Trump (and Elon and others control of him).

6. Yes some people are worried about this.

But we do not know how it will unfold.

We are making some good guesses based on Trump's past behavior.
