Three screaming protestors were removed from Pete Hegseth’s confirmation hearing Tuesday morning, including one male protestor who was lifted up and carried out by several police officers.
Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s choice to be defense secretary, is in Washington, D.C., to be grilled by the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Accusations of sexual misconduct put Hegseth’s nomination for secretary of defense in jeopardy late last year. The former “Fox & Friends” weekend host served in the Army National Guard from 2002 to 2021, and was deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan during his time in the military.
Here’s a video of the first protestor, a bearded man who yelled Hegseth was a “misogynist”:
