Tuesday was the confirmation hearing for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth.
And so, a large gathering of Navy SEALs supporters headed out to Washington, D.C. to show support.
This was organized by SEAL veteran Bill Brown and Robert Sweetman of 62romeo.
Meanwhile, Hegseth faced Senate scrutiny.
It seemed they were determined to ensure he didn’t get confirmed.
I wonder why?
Warriors united for @PeteHegseth. https://t.co/zYO5bhvGyd

Breitbart reports:
Five hundred Navy SEALs, veterans, and other supporters are planning to march in support of Defense Secretary Nominee Pete Hegseth as he appears before senators for his confirmation hearing on Tuesday.
That morning, his supporters will meet at the Vietnam Memorial Wall at 9 a.m. EST and march to different war memorials, including the Korean War Veterans Memorial, the D.C. War Memorial, and the World War II Memorial, and conclude near Capitol Hill with remarks from military leaders and prominent supporters. Participants will carry American flags as they march.
The march is being organized by Navy SEAL veteran Bill Brown, who also organizes the yearly NYC Seal Swim — which Hegseth, a combat veteran, has taken part of in support of Navy SEALs. Robert Sweetman’s 62romeo organization is co-organizing.
“The SEAL March for Pete Hegseth and attendance at hearing demonstrates strong and unwavering support from the warrior class for Pete Hegseth as he moves forward with his confirmation to become Secretary of Defense,” a press release for the event said.
Here’s a clip of them giving their support for Hegseth:
