WASHINGTON — The scariest moment in the second installment of President Donald Trump’s America thus far is a question that was asked in the U.S. Senate and went unanswered.
Five months ago, Fox News-host-turned-Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was asked how he would respond if his soon-to-be boss told him to shoot American protesters on American streets.
Hegseth, after dancing around the question, refused to answer that day. He refused to answer again when asked two weeks ago.
And on Thursday, he once more refused when asked yet again while appearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee.
