Why would a black man, no matter his position bow down to genocide. It breaks my African American heart.

[thechurch]

There is no accountability with criminals. Lloyd Austin is no different.

[ghadaalshahrouri]

Blood on your hands Austin. SHAME ON YOU

[fivuguz]

Much respect 🫡 for this guy Ro Khanna. Lloyd is an idiot and needs to get dismissed from his position.

[Rades]

No matter what Israel does, there is no accountability. This is unbelievable.

[AlwaysHope_]

I commend Rep. Ro Khanna he’s someone who has the courage to stand up for the suffering of the Palestinians in Gaza.👏

[alibarket]

Ro Khanna for President. Thank you for standing up for defenseless people of Palestine

Just when you thought it could not get worse, No other country in the world would get away with this!!

[russelislam]

Outstanding question by Mr. Khanna. Shame on Biden admin and shame on Mr. Austin. Hypocrisy at it's worst.

[mohamadayoub]

Martin Luther is probably turning in his grave watching Austin talking the way he is here.

[brianbozo]

"It depends on the situation?" Khanna is already spelling out the situation. Khanna should just go straight to it and say, why is it so hard for you to give a straight honest answer? You are in a position of leadership and decision making yet you can't be straight when it comes to what Israel is doing.

[badihammad]

Shame on you America and your human rights us complicity in genocide in Gaza the us no longer has the rights to take about human rights when refuses to stop a genocide

[Hunter-uyqs]

It makes more sense to talk to the wall instead of asking questions from this yes man.

[patrickmason]

Gee Lloyd would it be ok to drop unguided munitions in an American built up suburban area? Austin appears at a loss.

[agentsmidt]

How exactly do you use weapons of death "in a responsible way"?

[ryxfkvg]

'It's not my decision'.. exactly what are his responsibilities? do we need him at all? He was out for days, and his boss didn't even know!

[AliKhan-qfxs]

How do these people sleep at night after talking to their grandchildren.

[maiabdelfattah]

He is not alone in this. They will pin it on him. How about Blinken, John Kerby, Biden, Mathew Miller. They are all in this!!!

[achimotto-vslb]

He stumbles and stotters.He doesn.t know his butt from a hole in the ground

When the defense secretary is a sitting board member of Raytheon...karma is creeping up to him.
