Democratic representative asks about Hegseth's drinking habits.

A heated exchange took place in Congress when a Democratic representative decided to focus his questioning on Pete Hegseth's drinking habits instead of addressing national security issues. During the session, the congressman lobbed questions about Hegseth's personal life, leaving out crucial issues such as the CIA's performance in defending the country.

“I think that's an offensive line of questioning..... You don't want to focus on the good work the CIA is doing!” responded Hegseth, visibly outraged by the attempt to divert the discussion to irrelevant issues.

This episode has been seen by many as yet another display of the distraction strategy of the Democrats, who avoid addressing the real threats to U.S. security. Instead of questioning failed policies or the weakening of intelligence agencies under the current administration, they prefer to resort to personal attacks.

As the White House faces crises on multiple fronts, from the border to foreign policy, the opposition seems more concerned with trivia than protecting the American people. Hegseth's reaction makes it clear that he will not be intimidated by diversionary tactics and that the focus must remain on national security and the good work being done by those protecting the country.
