Response to this claim
Hegseth's group disrespected the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier when it posed for photos and laughed there on Veterans Day.
“Pete Hegseth continues to demonstrate his utter lack of fitness for his office. One day after narrowly avoiding impeachment, he shows his contempt for our men and women in uniform by disrespecting the sanctity of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.”
Why we used this label
The reference point is the conduct of Hegseth's group at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on November 11, 2026, when its members posed for photos on the steps and laughter drew a sentinel's warning. Moore says the episode disrespected the sanctity of the tomb and showed contempt for service members, which condemns the group's conduct.
