Rep. Don Bacon, a prominent Republican on the House Armed Services Committee, became the first sitting GOP lawmaker Monday to suggest President Donald Trump should fire Pete Hegseth " calling the chaos at the Pentagon one reason why many Hill Republicans were privately uneasy with the Defense secretary's nomination in the first place. "I had concerns from the get-go because Pete Hegseth didn't have a lot of experience," Bacon, a former Air Force general who now chairs of the subcommittee on cyber issues, said in an interview. "I like him on Fox. But does he have the experience to lead one of the largest organizations in the world? That's a concern." Russia and China are all over his phone, and for him to be putting secret stuff on his phone is not right. He's acting like he's above the law " and that shows an amateur person."
