While some Republicans are defending the administration, others, including Senate leaders, are expressing concerns and calling for an investigation to determine whether ethical, moral, or legal codes were violated. Democrats are strongly condemning Hegseth’s actions, with some calling for his resignation or firing due to the severity of the alleged violations of the laws of war.

Bannon’s involvement, however, has not yielded the same condemnation as Summers, despite the former’s actions being considered far more egregious.

Crockett on Greene’s resignation: ‘You’ve got to be kidding me.’ Well, if there’s one thing that seems to be a common sentiment, it’s a general disbelief, maybe even amusement, at the situation.
