What the Dem Senators said on the video/commercial applies to Hegseth as well and he isn’t even in the military. Hegseth says he’s sure he/they have authority to do this. No, they don’t. Just because a President (sadly in this case Trump) tells you to do something doesn’t make it legal.

McCarthy makes very accurate points here. The illegality is without question.
