Marjorie Taylor Greene went nuclear on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Sunday over his comments about the killing of two US service members in an Iranian strike in Jordan last week.
Greene shared an expletive-laden response to Hegseth after he wrote in an X post Saturday: “Godspeed, heroes. Their sacrifice only stiffens our resolve,” in regards to the deaths.

Greene, a MAGA outlier who has repeatedly condemned the US conflict with Iran, subsequently torched Hegseth and President Donald Trump hours later. “Sacrifice?? What the **** are you talking about??” she replied to his post. “They did not willingly sacrifice themselves.”
“They were killed because of the war you, Trump, and the admin, are waging on behalf of a FOREIGN COUNTRY, Israel. You mean their deaths fuel your bloodlust for a senseless war,” she added.

Hegseth’s office did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment.
The US Central Command announced the deaths of the service members in an X post, writing that they were “killed in action” on Friday “as US Central Command (CENTCOM) and partner forces defended against Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks.” It also noted that “one service member is currently missing.”

“Four American service members were medically evacuated to Jordanian hospitals. They have since been discharged. Other personnel who were evaluated for minor injuries have returned to duty,” CENTCOM added.
Trump called the deaths of the two US service members “a very sad thing” in a phone conversation with NewsNation on Saturday, adding that the troops died “in service of our country.”
