Hegseth Must Resign - Tillis Owes It to the 90,000 Service Members He Represents

Hegseth’s recklessness has put lives at risk. North Carolina’s service members deserve better than Tillis's silence.

Sen. Tillis,

I am writing to you not just as a constituent, but as someone furious that a man with access to some of our most vital military operations betrayed that trust and continues to hold office. Pete Hegseth’s reckless decision to share sensitive Yemen operation details in a private Signal chat—including jet flight schedules—with his wife, brother, and lawyer shows contempt for the very institutions he's been entrusted to lead.

You confirmed him. You looked past every warning sign and handed a man with zero senior defense experience the keys to the Pentagon. And now, you’ve got 90,000 active-duty service members in North Carolina left to wonder whether their lives are in the hands of a man playing military dress-up with his family group chat.

He didn’t just violate protocol. He endangered American lives, undermined operational security, and has fractured the trust of our allies. You cannot stay silent. You cannot let this man, who called those of us with legitimate concerns “illegals, trans, and DEI”, continue to desecrate the Defense Department.

Call for Hegseth’s resignation. Not next week, not when the political temperature drops—now. It’s the bare minimum for the men and women who serve under the flag you claim to honor.
