Senator Elizabeth Warren, the Democrat from Massachusetts demeaned President Trump’s decide to be Secretary of Protection.
She dismissed Pete Hegseth as only a weekend speak present host and stated he was unqualified to guide the Pentagon.
“A Fox & Friends weekend co-host is not qualified to be the Secretary of Defense,” Sen. Warren wrote on X. “All three of my brothers served in uniform. I respect every one of our servicemembers. Donald Trump’s pick will make us less safe and must be rejected.”
Whoppi Goldberg, one of many gals on ABC’s The View stated that Hegseth “clearly does not know anything about the military”
So, let’s dissect the Left’s argument, however full disclosure – Pete is a buddy of mine.
It’s true that Hegseth is the longtime co-host of the weekend version of Fox & Mates. It’s the primary morning present on cable tv.
However that’s not why President-elect Trump picked Pete.
He’s a fight veteran – who served as an infantry officer in Afghanistan and Iraq and Guantanamo Bay. When he returned to the states he headed up an effort to assist veterans. Involved Veterans for America.
Pete can be an Ivy League grad – with levels from Princeton and Harvard. To not point out he wrote a New York Instances bestseller.
Married. The daddy of seven. Not a foul resume for a 44-year-old.
So, why are the ladies on The View and the parents at MSNBC and CNN foaming on the mouth?
Nicely, it seems that Hegseth believes the army needs to be about blowing issues up and killing the enemy – not staging drag exhibits on nuclear submarines and providing protected areas for pronoun-confused troopers.
Hegseth can be a agency believer that ladies shouldn’t be serving in fight roles. And you may count on Hegseth to declare battle on woke generals.
“Well, first of all, you got to fire, you know, you got to fire the chairman of the Joint Chiefs,” he stated on the “Shawn Ryan Show” podcast simply final week. “Any general that was involved, general, admiral, whatever that was involved in any of the DEI woke s***, it’s got to go.”
In his ebook, “War on Warriors,” Hegseth warned readers concerning the Pentagon’s left-wing ideology.
“It’s one thing when a corporation or university goes woke. It’s an entirely different thing for the United States military to go woke,” he wrote.
And you may rely his bosses at Fox Information Channel as amongst his finest followers.
“Pete Hegseth has been an exceptional host on Fox & Friends and Fox Nation and a best-selling author for Fox News Books for nearly a decade,” the community wrote in a press release to Entertainment Tonight. “His insights and analysis especially about the military resonated deeply with our viewers and made the program the major success that it is today. We are extremely proud of his work at Fox News Media and wish him the best of luck in Washington.”
I’d be curious to know what makes Senator Warren – who has no army expertise – suppose she has extra experience than a fight veteran who was awarded two Bronze Stars. It appears to me Pocahontas is manner off the reservation on this one, people.
