Rep. Brian Mast, R-Fla., told Newsmax he fully supports Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and national security adviser Mike Waltz as a growing number of Democrats in Congress are calling for their resignation over the leak of a Signal chat discussing a Houthi strike.
“For Michael Waltz, there is not one person that I could pick out on this planet that is better suited to be national security adviser,” Mast said Thursday during an appearance on Newsmax’s “National Report.” “He prepared himself to do this job over all of his time in Congress, all of the committees that he sat on, the work that he’s done in his time in the military.”
“And I would say the same thing about Secretary Hegseth and his ability to go out there and get the mission done on behalf of President Trump and everything that he wants to see accomplished, to get our military back to the place that it needs to be, destroying our enemies, focusing on the mission, not focusing on the woke craziness that the liberal left is trying to move forward,” he added.
