内华达州民主党众议员苏西·李是一名来自摇摆选区的民主党人，她自诩为两党合作的谈判者。她在一场自由派听众集会上表示自己希望“跨党派合作”，但片刻之后又称，观看皮特·赫格斯西作证让她想“往死里揍他”。
李的此番言论是上个月在拉斯维加斯太阳城自由俱乐部的一次露面中发表的，当时她正在讨论稀土矿物以及她对MP材料公司的支持——这是一家总部位于拉斯维加斯的公司，参与美国关键矿物生产。目前她正在内华达州竞争激烈的第三国会选区寻求连任。
“我希望两党合作。我希望跨越党派界限工作，”根据这段发言的视频记录，李对人群说道。但片刻之后，在讨论赫格斯西在她所在的委员会作证时，她说：“听着，这太容易了。真的太容易了。就好像你就是想往死里揍他。”

“但你得忍住，”李在谈到想“往死里揍”赫格斯西时说道。
赫格斯西相关言论并非李首次因脏话言论引发审查。今年4月，福克斯新闻数字频道曾报道，李删除了一条针对特朗普的充满脏话的深夜社交媒体帖子，该帖子在网上引发反弹后，她为自己的言论辩护称，她的“神经被触动”，因为她所说的对宪法的攻击。
“赫格斯西部长让美国人的生活更不安全、更昂贵。他和特朗普总统发起的那场选择之战，加剧了汽油和食品杂货的成本，给工薪家庭带来了更多负担。尽管赫格斯西部长承诺会立即审查李议员关于为内华达试验和训练靶场的老兵提供所需医疗保健的请求，但他已经拖延了近两个月，”李的发言人告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“显然，李议员与这位部长在很多方面都存在分歧。”
李想要揍赫格斯西的言论，是在她向太阳城自由俱乐部讲述自己在听证会上就五角大楼投资澳大利亚一家公司、却似乎忽视美国本土企业一事向战争部长施压的故事时发表的。李表示，她告诉赫格斯西她相信“美国制造”，并质疑为什么五角大楼更多地投资于另一家澳大利亚公司，而不是美国的MP材料公司。
“听着，这太容易了。真的太容易了。就好像你就是想往死里揍他。我是说，是啊，但你就是得忍住。所以我当时是这么做的——他在我的委员会面前出现了两次，”李在讲述有关稀土投资的故事时说道。
“你得利用他们的自尊心，对吧？”她继续说道。“嗯，三周后，他们宣布向MP材料公司投资20亿美元，好吧？我不想对赫格斯西和颜悦色，好吧，我不想。但你知道，你得做你该做的事来把事情搞定，对吧？”
“李议员为了她的选区，搁置了与赫格斯西的分歧，为内华达州的一家雇主争取到了投资，这将在内华达州南部创造数百个就业岗位，”李的发言人告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“她将继续将政治放在一边，与任何人合作——无论党派如何——以降低成本、创造就业机会，并让她的选民生活得更好。”
但共和党人将这番言论作为证据，指出李的两党合作形象与她私下谈论特朗普政府官员时的言论不一致。

“不幸的是，在我们这个伟大的实验——美国——即将迎来250周年诞辰之际，这类市政厅评论揭露了真相，共和党选民应该得到警告：如果民主党人掌控多数席位，他们只会把时间花在攻击特朗普总统及其政府上，”前众议院议长凯文·麦卡锡的前通讯主管马克·贝德纳说道。
共和党人还对李声称她与赫格斯西的交流促使国防部对MP材料公司进行重大投资提出异议，指责这位内华达州民主党人夸大了自己的作用，同时利用这个故事来美化她的两党合作资历。
“要么苏西·李相信自己的话拥有上帝之言般的说服力，要么她就是在编造故事，而且完全精神失常，”共和党全国委员会发言人尼克·波谢说道。“内华达州选民应该得到一位真正为他们履职的领导人，而不是像苏西·李那样，只为改善自己的股票投资组合而当政客的装腔作势者。”

MP材料公司最终与国防部签署了一项重大协议，其中包括五角大楼4亿美元的投资，使联邦政府成为该公司最大股东，并做出了旨在加强美国稀土磁铁供应链的其他承诺。

Rep. Susie Lee, D-Nev., a swing-district Democrat who touts herself as a bipartisan dealmaker, told a liberal audience she wants to “work across the aisle” before saying moments later that watching Pete Hegseth testify made her want to “beat the s— out of him.”
Lee made the remarks during an appearance last month before the Sun City Liberal Club in Las Vegas while discussing rare earth minerals and her work supporting MP Materials, a Las Vegas-based company involved in U.S. critical minerals production. The comments come as she seeks re-election in Nevada’s closely divided 3rd Congressional District.
“I want to be bipartisan. I want to work across the aisle,” Lee told the crowd, according to video of the remarks. But moments later, while discussing Hegseth appearing before her committee, she said, “Now listen, it’s so easy. It’s so easy. Like you just wanna beat the s— out of him.”

“But you got to bite it,” Lee said of wanting to “beat the s—” out of Hegseth.

The Dignity Coalition is bipartisan group that has formed to support the “Dignity for Immigrants while Guarding our Nation to Ignite and Deliver the American Dream Act of 2025” (the DIGNIDAD Act or Dignity Act, H.R. 4393) which they argue is a solution to fix the immigration system in the United States.(Andrew Harnik/Getty Images)
The Hegseth remark is not the first profanity-laced comment to draw scrutiny for Lee. In April, Fox News Digital reported that Lee deleted an expletive-filled late-night social media post targeting Trump after online backlash, then defended her remarks by saying her “nerve was touched” by what she described as attacks on the Constitution.
“Secretary Hegseth has made life less safe and more expensive for Americans. The war of choice that he and President Trump started has placed more burden on working families by increasing the cost of gas and groceries. And despite promising to immediately review Congresswoman Lee’s request to get Nevada Test and Training Range veterans the health care they need, Secretary Hegseth has dragged his feet for nearly two months,” a spokesperson for Lee told Fox News Digital. “Clearly, there are many areas in which Congresswoman Lee does not see eye to eye with the Secretary.”
Lee’s comments about wanting to beat up Hegseth came while she was teeing up a story to the Sun City Liberal Club about pressing the Secretary of War during a hearing on the Pentagon’s decision to invest in an Australian company while supposedly leaving a U.S.-based one out to dry. Lee said she appealed to Hegseth by telling him she believed in “made in America” and questioned why the Pentagon had invested more heavily in a different Australian company as opposed to MP Materials, an American one.
“Now listen, it’s so easy. It’s so easy. Like you just wanna beat the s— out of him. I mean yea, but you just got to bite it. So this is what I did – he came in front of my committee twice,” Lee said as she told the story about the rare earth investments.
“You got to lay on their ego, right?” she continued. “Well, three weeks later, they announced a $2 billion investment in MP Materials, okay? I didn’t want to be sweet with Hegseth, okay, I didn’t. But, you know, you got to do what you got to do to get s— done, right?”

“Congresswoman Lee set aside [her differences with Hegseth] on behalf of her constituents to secure an investment in a Nevada-based employer that will create hundreds of jobs in southern Nevada,” Lee’s spokesperson told Fox News Digital. “She will continue putting politics aside and working with anyone — regardless of party — to lower costs, create jobs, and make life better for her constituents.”
But Republicans took aim at the remarks as evidence that Lee’s bipartisan brand is at odds with how she talks about Trump administration officials behind closed doors.

“It’s unfortunate for our Republic, near our 250th birthday of this great experiment we call America, that town hall comments like this reveal the truth, and Republican voters should be warned that Democrats, if they take over the majority, will simply spend their time going after President Trump and his administration,” said Mark Bednar, former head of communications for former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy.
Republicans also took issue with Lee’s claim that her exchange with Hegseth helped spur a major Defense Department investment in MP Materials, accusing the Nevada Democrat of overstating her role while using the story to burnish her bipartisan credentials.
“Either Susie Lee believes her words contain the persuasive power of the word of God, or she’s making stuff up and being completely unhinged to boot,”said Republican National Committee spokesperson Nick Poché. “Nevadans deserve a leader who will work to deliver for them, not posers whose only objective in office is to improve their stock portfolios like Susie Lee.”

MP Materials eventually signed a major agreement with the Defense Department, including a $400 million Pentagon investment that made the federal government the company’s largest shareholder and other commitments aimed at strengthening the U.S. rare earth magnet supply chain.
