Rep. Jason Crow said Pete Hegseth’s public execution plan is the opposite of the military’s ethos of servant leadership and the “quiet professional,” arguing that it turns service into performance politics, sends a message of vengeance rather than duty, and makes the country less safe by aiding enemy propaganda; he also said capital punishment is not a deterrent, is morally and financially costly, and that Hegseth is catering to the far right instead of facts. Crow then discussed Tina Peters, saying her release should not have happened because she showed no contrition, doubled down on election denialism, and is now back in the Trump orbit helping push plans that could suppress votes. On elections, he said Democrats must recruit strong, real candidates focused on their districts, acknowledge where the party has fallen short, and speak honestly about corruption and working-class anger, which he believes both parties have helped create. He added that oversight, subpoenas, hearings, and even impeachment are tools to remove Hegseth and clean up the Pentagon, but the real goal is accountability and protecting constituents and service members.
