- During an extended deployment near Iran, relatives and media reports described supply shortages, moldy showers, prolonged lack of hot water, and toilets and laundry rooms inaccessible for weeks, while several attempted overboard suicides were reported.
- Hegseth said Thursday that the reports seriously misrepresented conditions aboard the ship.
- Representatives Ruben Gallego and Seth Moulton accused Hegseth of lying about the conditions, while Gallego cited messages from a service member’s spouse on X and called for the problems to be fixed.
- Later Thursday, CENTCOM rejected reports of seven deaths in a brawl and a rise in suicidal thoughts, said no crew member had died, and reported that a sailor who fell overboard on August 3 was safely recovered, while leaving some specific claims about food and toilets unaddressed.
There’s nothing out of Hegseth’s mouth that can be considered credible. Remember, this is the guy who lied about his own misuse of classified information. And, if this wasn’t a problem, they wouldn’t be rushing to replace the ship. So clearly he’s lying about the conditions.— Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA), on CNN
