Statement
Issues: Defense
During today's House Armed Services Committee, U.S. Congressman Matt Gaetz (FL-01) pressed Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin on the military's promotion of socialist literature at the National Defense University.
Following Rep. Gaetz's line of questioning, Secretary Austin insinuated Rep. Gaetz was "embarrassed" by America, prompting a fiery exchange between the two. "I'm embarrassed by your leadership. I am not embarrassed for my country," said Rep. Gaetz. "That is so disgraceful that you would sit here and conflate your failures with the failures of the uniformed service members."
