A soldier guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier issued a verbal reprimand to a group of advisers and staffers with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth following a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery.

Video shows Hegseth taking photos on the empty steps in front of the tomb with his wife, Jennifer, chief of staff Ricky Buria, deputy chief of staff Patrick Weaver and senior adviser Tami Radabaugh.

A North Carolina Republican who cheered President Donald Trump’s war on Iran when it began is now calling it “terrible policy” and blaming it for the GOP’s midterm drubbing.

Rep. Pat Harrigan of North Carolina unloaded on the conflict Wednesday morning during an appearance on Real America’s Voice’s American Sunrise, a week after he barely held on to his own seat.

Harrigan argued the war wiped out the benefit of this year’s record tax refunds for middle-class families.

WASHINGTON – A U.S. Army sentinel guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier scolded Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth and his senior advisers for not being respectful after some members in the group laughed while posing for pictures in front of the memorial.

"All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all time," the sentinel yelled, prompting Hegseth and other members of the group to turn around as they were walking away from the memorial. The incident, which was captured by television cameras, took place after a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery.

In addition to Hegseth, the group admonished by the sentinel included his chief of staff Ricky Buria, deputy chief of staff Patrick Weaver, senior adviser Tami Radabaugh and Hegseth's wife, Jennifer Hegseth. It was not clear which members of the group were laughing.
