Rep. Jason Crow, a Colorado Democrat, said on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that ousting Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth would be a priority if Democrats win the House in the November midterm elections, according to The Washington Times, Breitbart and The Washington Examiner. Breitbart quotes Crow as saying “priority number one if we retake the majority.” CBS News reports that in the same interview Crow said Democrats are running against Donald Trump, MAGA extremism, corruption and “our own history to some degree.” The supplied reports do not include a reply from Hegseth.
