‘Disingenuous’: Angry Hegseth Vows More Troops IN LA As Senators Question ‘DOUBLE STANDARDS’

Pressed by Democratic Senator Chris Murphy over an alleged “double standard” — contrasting his support for National Guard deployment at ICE protests with the response to January 6, 2021 — Hegseth said it was right to protect ICE agents. He also claimed Trump’s attempt to deploy the Guard before January 6 was “denied.”
