Ruben Gallego and Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton criticized Hegseth\u2019s comments on the situation, amid reports that several service members tried to jump overboard due to worsening conditions on the ship, including shortages of basic supplies, moldy showers, and long stretches without hot water. Service members\u2019 mental health is also a concern, their family members have said. <\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Hegseth on Thursday claimed such reports \u201ccompletely misrepresented\u201d what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe make sure that every ship, every crew, every captain, has everything we can provide them at every single moment,\u201d Hegseth, 46, told reporters in Panama. \u201cSome deployments are longer than others, and I have more respect and gratitude for those sailors than anybody.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs someone who\u2019s not been on a ship like that, but been on long deployments, I feel it,\u201d added Hegseth, who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan while in the Army. \u201cI want them home as soon as everybody else, too. I want folks rotated as quickly as possible. I want the best for them. My commanders know that, our service secretaries know that, the president expects that, and so to that crew and all crews: We\u2019re going to do everything we can for you, and we are so grateful for that crew and others.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gallego, an Iraq War Marine corporal, responded to Hegseth in a post on X. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am in communication with a spouse who is forwarding me her husband\u2019s text messages. Stop lying and fix the problem,\u201d Gallego, 46, wrote.<\/p>\n<p>A dozen relatives of service members described to MS NOW last week what they had heard about conditions on the ship. <\/p>\n<p>Bonnie York, whose stepson is aboard, said she had been told a doctor or therapist on the ship had warned that the crew needed to reach port before people started \u201closing their minds.\u201d Brett Snow, a Navy veteran whose son is on the ship, added that the situation is \u201cripe for accidents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to low food supplies and unsanitary showers, family members have described out-of-service toilets and laundry rooms inaccessible for weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Stars and Stripes and the Navy Times have also spoken with relatives and sailors themselves about the ordeal.<\/p>\n<p>Stars and Stripes said interviews\u2014along with \u201cdozens of public social media comments and posts\u201d by crew\u2014revealed sailors \u201cstruggling with exhaustion and declining morale, including reports of suicidal thoughts and at least one instance where a crew member was prevented from jumping overboard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=5328\">Kaitlan Collins Humiliates Trump After Kennedy Center Shocker<\/a><\/p>\n<p>According to the Navy Times, the wife of a service member said her husband tried to jump overboard.<\/p>\n<p>The <i>USS Abraham Lincoln<\/i>, which is carrying 5,000 sailors and Marines who had expected to be off the ship by May, is being relieved by the <i>USS George Washington<\/i>, CNN reported.<\/p>\n<p>When reached for comment, the Pentagon referred the Daily Beast to Hegseth\u2019s comments to reporters\u2014the same ones Gallego criticized.<\/p>\n<p>Later Thursday night, U.S. Central Command issued a statement that did not directly address several specific claims about conditions on board, including those concerning food and toilets. It also admitted that one sailor had gone overboard, using the word \u201cfell.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver the past 48 hours, multiple media outlets have reported several false claims related to USS Abraham Lincoln\u2019s (CVN 72) deployment to the Middle East. One report alleged seven Sailors died in a brawl aboard the aircraft carrier and others have recently suggested a spike in suicidal ideations. These reports are FALSE,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Sailors and Marines of the Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group remain resilient and resolved after more than 260 days at sea, 10,000 aircraft flights, and 1.5 million pounds of ordnance expended,\u201d it went on to say. \u201cNo service members aboard the aircraft carrier have died, and the one Sailor who fell overboard Aug. 3 was quickly and safely recovered. The rampant misreporting on Abraham Lincoln\u2019s historic deployment is a disservice to our men and women in uniform and their loved ones.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Gallego\u2019s sentiments were echoed on CNN by Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton, a Marine Corps veteran who fought in the Iraq War.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s nothing out of Hegseth\u2019s mouth that can be considered credible,\u201d Moulton said. \u201cRemember, this is the guy who lied about his own misuse of classified information. And, if this wasn\u2018t a problem, they wouldn\u2018t be rushing to replace the ship. So clearly he\u2018s lying about the conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>White House spokesperson Olivia Wales told reporters in a statement, \u201cPresident Trump and Secretary Hegseth are committed to ensuring that the brave American patriots serving our country in uniform are equipped with the resources necessary to counter any threat to the United States.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=5326\">Twisted Border Goons Busted Using Hi-Tech Spy Gear on Exes<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democratic lawmakers are accusing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth of \u201clying\u201d about conditions on board the USS Abraham Lincoln, the aircraft carrier on extended deployment near Iran.
