Moulton EXPOSES Hegseth Over Signal Texts -- Classified Launch Times, No Accountability - Liberal Lens [View all]

What happens when the Secretary of Defense is asked a yes-or-no question about classified military information — and refuses to answer?

In this explosive exchange, Congressman Seth Moulton (D-MA) presses Pete Hegseth on whether he texted classified F-18 launch times over an unclassified Signal chat, potentially violating Department of Defense security rules. Instead of giving a clear answer, Hegseth deflects, redefines “classification,” and claims everything he says is automatically classified — a claim that directly contradicts DoD regulations.

This isn’t about politics. It’s about national security, accountability, and the rule of law. If lower-ranking service members did this, they’d face immediate consequences. So why doesn’t the same standard apply at the top?

Watch closely — because the evasions tell you more than the answers ever could.
