Service members\u2019 mental health is also a concern, their family members have said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cAs someone who\u2019s&#8230; not been on a ship like that, but been on long deployments, I feel it,\u201d added Hegseth, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan while in the Army. <\/p>\n<p>His answer caught the attention of Newsom, the liberal Trump-bashing governor of California. \u201cHe\u2019s delusional, manic, agitated,\u201d he posted on X, highlighting Hegseth\u2019s arm-thrashing display.

Ruben Gallego and Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton criticized Hegseth\u2019s comments, too. \u201cI am in communication with a spouse who is forwarding me her husband\u2019s text messages.
