Donald Trump ally Steve Bannon promised the Trump administration would come out swinging like never before in an extensive interview with Politico published Tuesday.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) made clear on Tuesday who she thinks was behind a series of demonstrators who interrupted the opening day of Pete Hegseth’s Senate confirmation hearing – the senators themselves.

The far-right Florida lawmaker floated her new conspiracy theory during an appearance on the Benny Johnson Show, where she called protesters “crazies” and “no-Christian jihad[ist].” She told Johnson she was not only at today’s hearings, but she had her own sign taunting Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), which she complained she was barred from displaying.

Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s controversial and, many say, unqualified nominee to lead the millions of people serving in the U.S. Armed Forces and oversee the Pentagon’s $842 billion budget, refused to give straight answers to numerous questions posed by U.S. Senators during his short, four-hour-and-fifteen-minute confirmation hearing before the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday.

Democrats on the committee had requested multiple rounds of questions so they could follow up with the nominee, a former Fox News weekend host who has been accused of sexual assault, “aggressive drunkenness,” sexism, mismanaging two veterans’ non-profits, and an apparent embrace of Christian nationalism. Chairman Roger Wicker (R-MS) refused, despite precedent with multiple nominees before the committee over many years. Wicker also refused to allow the FBI’s report on Hegseth to be made available to all members of the committee.

Pete Hegseth's inability to answer basic geopolitical questions left Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) "flabbergasted," she told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Tuesday evening.

This came after a tense confirmation hearing on Capitol Hill before the Senate Armed Services Committee, where Hegseth, the embattled nominee for President-elect Donald Trump's secretary of Defense, was asked by Duckworth to name how many countries are in the Alliance of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN. He proceeded to name three countries that aren't in the alliance.
