Statement summary

On Face the Nation, Crow says Hegseth is incompetent and is not protecting service members, and that removing him from the Pentagon would be his first priority in a Democratic majority.

“Pete Hegseth remains incompetent and is not doing what's necessary to protect our service members, which is why he's my priority number one if we retake the majority, to make sure we oust him from the Pentagon, because our service members actually deserve competent, serious, real leadership that will protect them and do the right thing.”

Jason Crow of Colorado said Congress has a responsibility to act on artificial intelligence and criticised Speaker Mike Johnson for sending the House home early instead of debating and voting on guardrails.

Response to this claim

DHS's requirement that members of Congress give seven days' notice before visiting immigration detention facilities, and its exclusion of ICE field offices, violate a federal appropriations provision that bars DHS from using its funds to prevent members from entering those facilities for oversight.

“Now, Kristi Noem is trying to change the rules to block congressional oversight and avoid accountability.”
