The statement reports that Senator Jacky Rosen accused Pete Hegseth of using antisemitic language by calling critics 'Pharisees' and that he declined to retract it. This aligns with documented events in May 2026, when Rosen and other Democrats criticized Hegseth for using the term in a manner they viewed as antisemitic, and Hegseth did not retract the comment.

The statement cites a future date (2026-05-01) that has not yet occurred; there is no verifiable record of Senator Jacky Rosen accusing Pete Hegseth of antisemitic language on that date, making the claim false.

No credible reports or records show Senator Jacky Rosen making such an accusation against anyone named Hegseth; the claim appears to be unfounded.
