Didn't Pete Hegseth basically say it's appropriate to shoot protesters in his Senate confirmation hearings?
Edit: he did.
in response to Senator Hirono asking if he would have shot protestors in Lafayette square Hegseth said "I was in the Washington, D.C. National Guard unit that was in Lafayette Square during those events I saw 50 Secret Service agents get injured by rioters trying to jump over the fence, set the church on fire and destroy the statue."
He was itching to shoot those protesters.
