Democrats can

The Democrats had a resounding reaction to Thursday’s news that National Security Advisor Mike Waltz was out of work after a journalist added to a group chat who discussed highly sensitive national security issues: what about Pete Hegseth?

“What the hell? And Hegseth stays?” Representative Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) Published on social networks about the Secretary of Defense, a former personality of News.

Waltz may have been the one who added to the editor of the Atlantic Jeffrey Goldberg to the chat of the group of signals in the center of the scandal, but Hegseth was possibly a more important part of what made the chat a national security problem. The Secretary of Defense sent a text message to the group Detailed Information on Planned strikes in Yemen, including the information that adversaries could have “used to damage military and intelligence personnel,” Goldberg said in March.

And weeks later, the reports arose that Hegseth was sharing similar details in a personal group chat with his wife, brother and other members of his intimate circle.

“Who really needs to go is Hegesh … due to his absolute careless treatment of this type of information,” Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) said to News themezone. “I would dare to go to [Naval Station] Norfolk and explains that this did not put the sailors … lives in danger. “

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) Also mentioned the second group chat in a publication on social networks.

“Pete Hegseth shows real leadership as he blamed Mike Waltz,” he wrote. “Was Waltz who established a signal on the computer of the Hegseth office and added to his wife, brother and lawyer in a group chat of war plans?”

Senator Richard Blucenthal (D-Conn.), Member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, agreed that Hegseth is putting the entire scandal in Waltz.

“The person who really should go is the Secretary of Defense. He should be fired, literally before the end of the day. Mike Waltz, I think, is the type of fall here,” he told reporters.

“All this National Security establishment of the Trump administration is a clown show, except that they are playing with real weapons and bullets,” he added. “We should be very afraid.”

The senate minority leader, Chuck Schumer (DN.Y.) also told reporters that “they are saying goodbye to the wrong guy,” but President Donald Trump is “in a bubble” when it comes to making decisions.

The former director of the CIA, John Brennan, who served under President Barack Obama, possibly offered a reason for Waltz to leave Hegseth.

“It is easy to replace a national security advisor because it is not confirmed by the Senate,” he said Thursday in MSNBC. “It is easy to expel it and put someone, including a deputy, immediately
