Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was cut short and told to save his “speech” about how the Trump administration is handling the Iran war.<\/p>\n

During a hearing in front of the Senate Appropriations Committee on Tuesday, Hegseth had to defend the ongoing military campaign against Iran and the administration’s request for supplemental funding.<\/p>\n

At one point during the hearing, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) asked Hegseth, “At what point do you stop asking Americans to foot the bill for a war they don’t support? On top of an inflated budget?”<\/p>\n

“I obviously don’t agree with your characterization” of the war, Hegseth responded.<\/p>\n

“I appreciate that, but I want you to answer my question,” Shaheen said. “I know you don’t agree with my characterization, and I don’t agree with yours either.”<\/p>\n

Hegseth began to answer, then stopped, as he tried to defend the Iran war and explain why he took issue with Shaheen’s characterization.<\/p>\n

“I appreciate as much as anyone winning a war, but I sit in front of a committee that wants to talk about winning a war that’s been going on for years,” Hegseth said. “And talks about strategic defeat in a conflict that’s been going on for four months to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear bomb.”<\/p>\n

Hegseth continued, saying, “I would hope for some perspective in this town of what President Trump is undertaking,” and asking, “Do you want radical Islamists to have a nuclear bomb?” <\/p>\n

Shaheen then cut him off.<\/p>\n

“I don’t want to hear your speech,” Shaheen said. “I have limited time, so if you can’t answer my question, I will move on.”<\/p>\n
