Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) thinks Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s recent attempt to flex his power was a total misfire. Asked about the summit of top military officials that Hegseth pulled together this past Tuesday, Gallego told “State of the Union” host Jake Tapper it seemed clear that the Fox News personality-turned-cabinet member was throwing his weight around in order “to compensate for something.” “I think it’s absolutely ridiculous,” said Gallego, a veteran of the Marine Corps.
