Ossoff demolishes Hegseth -- then Hegseth has an epic crashout Sen. Jon Ossoff used Hegseth's premature declarations of victory against him during his Senate testimony, repeatedly reading back statements Hegseth made in March and April about Iran's military being "destroyed" and "obliterated" and asking him if he stands by them. After Hegseth spent five minutes dodging, Ossoff concluded by noting that "you will not answer whether your statement made on the 14th day of the war that Iran's military was 'destroyed and made combat ineffective' was a truthful statement to the American people as you sit here and ask for tens of billions more." A reeling Hegseth then crashed out in response to a similar line of questioning from Sen. Gary Peters, snapping at him that "you have Trump derangement syndrome!" Peters replied to Hegseth that "you, sir, are the failure," as Susan Collins brought the hearing to an abrupt close. Here's all of Ossoff's questioning followed by Hegseth's tantrum:

By any measure, Epic Fury decimated Iran’s military and rendered it combat ineffective for years to come. In less than 40 days, one of our Combatant Commands — CENTCOM — using less than 10% of America’s total combat power, dismantled one of the world’s largest militaries. The world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism proved utterly incapable of defending itself, its people, or its territory. We unleashed just a fraction of our strength, and Iran suffered total military defeat."$
