Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) grilled Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth at a congressional hearing on Wednesday about the Trump administration's deployment of troops to respond to the Los Angeles protests, and asked whether he had given the order for the military to "shoot at unarmed protesters, in any way."
Slotkin says Trump's defense secretary during his first term, Mark Esper, rejected such an order from Trump during the 2020 protests.
"He had more guts and b-s than you," Slotkin tells Hegseth.
