Pete Hegseth delivers reality check to Democrat

Hegseth DESTROYS McCollum in Epic Clash!

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth delivered a brutal reality check to Democratic Minnesota Rep. Betty McCollum during a House Appropriations Committee hearing, exposing the hypocrisy of her party’s handling of the 2020 riots.

McCollum attempted to praise Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s response to the violent unrest while criticizing President Donald Trump’s decisive action in deploying the National Guard and Marines to quell riots in Los Angeles.

But Hegseth, a Minnesota native, wasn’t having it—he swiftly reminded her of Walz’s disastrous leadership when rioters burned down the Minneapolis Police Department’s Third Precinct while the governor hesitated.

“Well congresswoman, thank you for the question. You are right, we are both originally from Minnesota and that’s why I recall 2020 quite well when Governor Walz abandoned a police precinct and allowed it to be burned to the ground,” Hegseth fired back.

“And [he] also allowed five days of chaos to occur inside the streets of Minneapolis. The police precinct, ma’am, was abandoned and burned to the ground and because of that, the National Guard, was eventually, far too late, mobilized.”
