WOW Pete Hegseth just lied under oath before Congress. Asked whether he’d follow the President or the Constitution, he claimed Biden deployed troops to polling locations in 15 states in 2024. It never happened. Federal law prohibits deploying armed forces to polling locations. It didn’t happen under Biden. It... didn’t happen under any president. He lied. Under oath. To Congress.show more

Typical repeated deflection: but Biden! Today I also got a: but Clinton! Dude, we are 30 years removed from Clinton…seriously?? Dumbest people ever

We need to be able to arrest anyone lying under oath. The lying by those in our administration is out of control !

These were not active-duty military troops deployed by the President Biden, but rather state-level National Guard personnel activated by governors to assist with cybersecurity and logistical support. This was a standard precautionary measure for a tense election year, with some, such as in Oregon and Washington, activated following the burning of ballot drop boxes.

#HungOverHegseth is totally #Unfit time for #WhiskeyPete to #Resign #TrumpIsDeplorable

He lies because he knows that no one is going to do anything about it.

Pete Hegseth is a drunk and a liar. Call the liars Out🔥🔥🔥

@MadisonMCross4 But nothing will happen, MAGA will accept it as true, and Donald Trump will deploy federal troops at polling stations because of it.

I knew he’d get caught for lying at some point today…it was inevitable

He's a stupid, programmed, chaos agent sheep. Worthless POS.

He's twisting the FACTS to fit his bullshit :

Sorry, even though I'm not a Hegseth hater, Biden did not deploy troops or National Guard to polling locations. The STATES deployed their National Guard units for various reasons that ranged from cybersecurity to bomb detection.

Really? This was in response to Ed Krankpot saying the same lie. Do you always repeat his lies?

@JudyWhaleCove That was certainly bad but only one of many lies Hegseth told today. Just like after Pam Bondi did that in front of Congress, I expect him to be fired by Monday.

QUIT USING BIDEN AS A SCAPEGOAT YOU USELESS, LYING POSs! If ANY president had EVER sent troops to polling locations, it would have been all over the news because it's against the law and no other president in history has even considered interfering with our elections.

@asmartbrunette1 He is flat out a Pathological Liar! It’s like they all hunker in the CABINET. Trumps creativity

Someone should have said, "Ok, name 2 locations with proof of that. We're ready to listen, just show some facts. "

Sums him up perfectly ...

Get your facts straight National Guard (state-controlled) troops supported elections in 15 states in 2024.  Active-duty federal troops at polling places are illegal under 18 U.S.C. § 592.  Hegseth referenced real Guard deployments for security/logistics—not armed federal forces at polls, which didn’t occur.  No lie under oath.

If he lied under oath then that's perjury! He should held to account cause if he was a Dem the GOP would be demanding it! Works both ways!

These dumb asses will still be placing blame on Biden in the 4th quarter of this presidency. This administration is full of a bunch of traitorous worthless bums!

Liar!!

This piece of trash has been lying since he they brought them in office and he’s sitting here in front of Congress still lying and guess what’s gonna happen guys nothing

@billyp501

@MichaelCressw14 Why can't he answer a damned question?

Prosecute him for perjury and lock his sorry ass up.

@SecWar You are not only an obnoxious drunk you are liar. BIDEN did not have troops deployed in ANY ANY polling locations . NEVER HAPPENED ASSHOLE .

#hegseth lies so much.... No, Biden did not deploy troops to polling locations in 15 states during the 2024 election

@PeteHegseth Go ahead and keep lying to Congress, so when the Democrats take back Congress they'll FIRE your Ass‼️ Trump is the worst president in history‼️ And you're an idiot for following his orders/suggestions‼️ 💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙 I love my country‼️

@Politics_PR Source: These were National Guard troops activated by individual governors, not federal military personnel deployed by the President. Maybe Hegsbreath doesn’t know the difference?

And... He's a traitor, rapist, and alcoholic, of course he lied. None of those types are ever truthful, much less when all rolled into one big white pile of shit with a makeup studio.

This is an outright lie by Hegseth, blaming Biden, but in no way should anyone be surprised that a morally bankrupt Trump cultist would pull a stunt like this.

@SecWar YOU ARE A FUCKEN LIAR AND COMMITTED PERJURY UNDER OATH AS YOU ALWAYS DO! WHO WROTE THOSE LIES FOR YOU READ FROM THAT BIDEN DEPLOYED TROOPS TO VOTING LOCATIONS IN 2024? YOU &DONALD CAN TRY THIS UNCONSTITUTIONAL SHIT IF YOU WANT AT DEPLOYING TROOPS TO POLLING LOCATIONS🧵

He was telling the Truth.

@hocusmare Charge him with perjury
