On Wednesday, “Morning Joe” guest Senator Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) made controversial remarks about the firings of three Stars and Stripes staff members on the Pentagon. The senator, a combat veteran who previously served in the United States Marine Corps, claimed that the Trump administration is attempting to suppress critical reporting by the military newspaper.
"Stars and Stripes is one of the few places that is actually keeping in check the Department of Defense, and that is what scares them," Gallego stated. "Stars and Stripes has expertise that Pete Hegseth doesn’t have, and the last thing they want is somebody to actually point out how incompetent the Secretary of War is and how dumb this president is in the context of this war."
Gallego further speculated that the administration’s motive for the firings may be to conceal the number of U.S. military casualties in the ongoing war with Iran, expressing his belief that the president is more concerned about his own ego than with protecting national security.
