Pete Hegseth responds to latest Signal scandal — with attack on Democrats

Defense Secretary hit out late Sunday at demands that he be fired after a bombshell report claimed he's shared confidential attack plans on Signal for a second time — on this occasion, with his wife and brother.

The embattled head of the Pentagon reacted to a tweet from the account Democrats.org demanding that he goes.

But instead of focusing on accusations against him, Hegseth slammed what he claimed were Democrat policies.

“@PeteHegseth needs to go," the Democrats' account stated.
