"You do your job no matter what. In fact, this background noise this morning is perfect. It's the sound of ingrates, of ingratitude, of people who are so blinded by ideology they can't see law and order and common sense in front of them, that there's nothing ideological about this group," he said at Meridian Hill Park. "See, these ingrates will fade away. They'll go back to wherever they came from. You will do your job, and you will do it professionally, with courage, boldly, assisting with arrests, helping people who need help." #petehegseth #nationalguard #meridianpark #cspan gSBcVSOUsRD Gn9Q6eRx64M EKCW8tIW0P0 ymIcF5rVV7h
