US: Republicans, Democrats senators clash over reported leaked second war chat

Published on April 22, 2025 at 03:43 PM

Democrats and Republican Senators have shared divergent views about the US secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth.

While the Democrats are calling for Hegseth's resignation, the Republicans are echoing President Donald Trump's support for him

This is despite rumbles in the Pentagon over Hegesth’s ability to do his job following a reported second leaked war chat.

Republican lawmakers are largely following Trump’s lead and backed the defense secretary.

The Democrats feel he is incompetent and should resign.

A post on Senate Republican’s X account Tuesday, blamed “disgruntled”; former employees for the bad press: “Secretary Pete Hegseth is a veteran who is implementing President Trump’s America first agenda. Disgruntled former employees at the Pentagon are trying to undermine the agenda that Americans voted for.”;

Earlier, Republican lawmakers, Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee blamed the Democrats for working against the secretary.

“Of course the left, libs, and leakers are angry with Pete Hegseth. He is a strong @SecDef who is shaking up the status quo at the Pentagon to fight back against America’s greatest threats. Our military and nation are stronger because of his courage to serve,”; he wrote on X.

Senate intelligence committee chair, Tom Cotton claimed former Pentagon employees were “trying to undermine”; both Hegseth and Trump’s agenda. And Cory Mills, a member of House armed services committee, said on X: “I fully stand with and support @SecDef.”;

However, reacting to that NBC News report, Democratic representative Angie Craig said Hegseth should be fired for “gross negligence”; which had put US service members at risk: “He never should’ve been hired in the first place, but his gross negligence in putting our service members at risk is more than enough to be fired for.”;

And Debbie Wasserman Schulz also called for his resignation:, “Pete Hegseth’s incompetence is a threat to our national security. He needs to resign immediately.”;

Donald Trump Jr had earlier on Tuesday, reacted to reports of a leaked second signal chatroom used to discuss sensitive military operations.

John Ullyot, a former Pentagon Spokesperson, who resigned last week, had in an opinion essay published by Politico on Sunday said that the Pentagon has been overwhelmed by staff drama.

He called the situation a “full-blown meltdown”; that could cost 44-year-old US defense secretary, Pete Hegseth his job.

In his reaction,
