Rep. Matt Gaetz got into a heated exchange with Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin during a House Armed Services Committee hearing about the military’s proposed budget. Gaetz took his time to berate Austin about “wokeism” and socialism infecting the military, which according to Gaetz, has led to numerous missteps and blown calls by the military. Gaetz has approved the Defense budget multiple times since he was elected to office. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss on The Young Turks.

"US Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin appeared so incensed by outlandish lines of questioning from Republican congressman Matt Gaetz that he ended up in a shouting match with the Florida representative by the end of Mr Gaetz’s five minute round.

Mr Austin was on Capitol Hill on Tuesday to testify at a House Armed Services Committee hearing regarding the Defence Department’s fiscal year 2023 budget request, but Mr Gaetz had apparently decided to use his time to berate the former US Central Command boss about what he described as US defence failures caused by the Pentagon’s embrace of “wokeness”.

Specifically, Mr Gaetz enquired about a lecture delivered at the US National Defence University by French economist and author Thomas Picketty entitled “Responding to China: The Case For Global Justice and Democratic Socialism”.

“Why should American taxpayers fund lectures at the National Defense University that promote socialism as a strategy to combat China?” he asked."
