PETE Hegseth’s confirmation hearing was interrupted by multiple protestors with angry outbursts on Tuesday.
Capitol Police dragged at least four people out of the hearing on Tuesday during Hegseth’s opening remarks as President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for defense secretary.
Police even carried one man out by his arms and legs.
The anti-war protestors, who wore camouflage clothes, stood on their chairs and shouted insults at Hegseth as he outlined his plans to lead the Defense Department.
The outbursts came immediately after Hegseth dedicated the hearing to veterans.
“To all the troops and veterans watching and here in this room – Navy Seals, Green Berets, soldiers, pilots, sailors, Marines, Gold Stars and more,” Hegseth said.
“To officers enlisted, black and white, young and old, men and women – all Americans, all warriors. This hearing is for you,” he said.
A woman then jumped up and screamed that her veteran dad died by suicide after his service.
“Every veteran in here needs to speak up,” she yelled before being ushered out of the room.
Another protestor then yelled at Hegseth for supporting “murdering babies.”
“That’s the real recruiting crisis,” he screamed as three officers carried him out of the courtroom.
Hegseth remained calm during the chaos and continued to answer questions.
