Rep. Susie Lee, a Democratic lawmaker from Nevada's swing district, is facing backlash after expressing her desire to work with Republicans and stating she wants to 'beat the s--- out of' Rep. Pat Hegseth over his conservative views. The comment, made during a liberal audience event, has raised questions about her commitment to bipartisanship.
