US Senator Schumer calls for firing of Hegseth over handling of aircraft carrier

US Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer voiced his demand for "completely incompetent" Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to be removed from his position over his handling of the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln.

"When Pete Hegseth was nominated, everyone knew he was completely incompetent," he wrote on X. "Now our brave sailors are paying the price in a horrific and unfathomable way."

"Pete Hegseth must be fired immediately."
