Democrats were on the warpath on Wednesday against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who was supposed to be asked about the department's budget requests.
Instead, he was asked about whether he'd given an order to kill (use lethal force on) Americans.
The senator pursuing that line was told the "be careful" about believing what she reads in books. "Except for the Bible."
When another member of the Senate complained about whether it was "appropriate" for a social media influencer to "influence personnel decisions, Hegseth informed the senator her time was up.
She erupted in anger.
Hegseth told another he rejected the premise of what clearly was an outlandish question, which he said was just intended to "SMEAR" President Trump.
And he delivered his opinion that entry level judges in the federal court system are not given the responsibility of determining national security policy.
At one point, MSNBC's commentator spoke over Hegseth, drowning out his explanation of the success the Trump administration has had in securing the southern border.
