Secretary Pete Hegseth must be removed immediately for his unprofessional actions and lack of comprehension of national security protocols. His use of Signal as a secure communication platform and presence of a cellphone in a SCIF put our military personnel and national security at risk. Hegseth's breach of procedures is unacceptable and demands immediate action. A Secretary of Defense must respect and thoroughly understand security procedures. Hegseth has failed to meet this substantial criteria. This type of careless behavior is exactly why our allies no longer trust us with critical intelligence. The haphazard sharing of "war plan" strategies is not only dangerous but a global embarrassment of immense proportion. As your constituent I implore you to hold Hegseth accountable and take American security seriously.
