Hegseth turns tables on Dems as sparks fly during hearing clash: 'I put this on you'

Department of War Secretary Pete Hegseth blasted Democratic senators at a hearing on Tuesday, clashing forcefully with accusations that the United States had demonstrated a failure of leadership in its war with Iran, among other areas.

Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., raised skepticism with Hegseth, pressing him on whether the administration had a plan to bring the protracted war with Iran to a close.

Peters accused Hegseth of leaving the country in a worse position than when the war began.
