Vulnerable House Dem's bipartisanship push clashes with fantasy to ‘beat the s--- out of’ Hegseth

Rep. Susie Lee, D-Nev., a swing-district Democrat who touts herself as a bipartisan dealmaker, told a liberal audience she wants to "work across the aisle" before saying moments later that watching Pete Hegseth testify made her want to "beat the s--- out of him."

Lee made the remarks during an appearance last month before the Sun City Liberal Club in Las Vegas while discussing rare earth minerals and her work supporting MP Materials, a Las Vegas-based company involved in U.S. critical minerals production.
