Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth faces hecklers, interruptions at annual Army expo
Security escorted out six protesters after repeated interruptions forced several pauses in Hegseth’s autonomous warfare panel, reporters said.
- On Wednesday, Oct. 14, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth spoke at the AUSA Annual Meeting in Washington, where anti-war protesters repeatedly interrupted his discussion on autonomous warfare.
- The panel, titled "Project Agincourt: Autonomous Warfare," gathered senior defense officials at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center to examine the military's approach to autonomous systems.
- Demonstrators shouted about genocide and held "No War With Iran" banners, with one protester calling Hegseth a "war criminal" while others questioned military profits from conflicts.
- Security escorted six protesters out after they halted the panel four times in five minutes, while Hegseth continued speaking and quipped, "She thinks highly of me."
- The administration has faced criticism over its support for Israel in Gaza and expanded military campaigns against Iran, which Hegseth and President Donald Trump claim eliminate regional threats.
