Tim Pawlenty: “Once President Trump makes a decision, it's incumbent upon his cabinet to follow that decision and execute it or resign.”

If somebody makes a credible threat of violence against a public official, regardless of their political background, that person should be prosecuted or at least investigated.

If you can show me the member of Congress who hasn't flip flopped on a substantial issue or statement from the past, I'll give you $1,000.

And, by the way, I think this situation is partly a referendum on Hegseth, but it's partly a referendum on Donald Trump. And the Republican Party has been taken over by Trump and he's calling the question.

Finally, some Republican leaders other than President Trump are not cowering and they're speaking back.
