Lloyd Austin goes to the hospital without telling the president and people lost their minds.
This week’s revelations that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was hospitalized due to complications from an earlier surgery to treat prostate cancer has spurred intense scrutiny of the former top general.
Austin apparently waited about a month to inform President Biden of his diagnosis, only telling him after the public scandal over his secrecy was well underway. It also took days for Biden to find out that his Defense chief had checked into the intensive care unit earlier this month.
So far, the White House says Austin maintains the full confidence of the president. However, Republicans in Congress are ramping up pressure on the administration to explain why Congress, other officials and the public were kept in the dark for so long. And the first House Democrat on Wednesday called for the Defense chief to step down.
But Hegseth can expose our plans wide open on unsecured platforms, and people create excuses for it.
