Of course he will have protesters shot - that’s what he was nominated to do.

And protesters shouldn't say whether or not they'll shoot Pete Hegseth.

He's gonna be the secdef so this means US soldiers shooting protesters. I'm pretty sure most aren't gonna be into it but you probably won't have to look far too find someone who would.
