Senator Slams Hegseth’s Anti-Woman Military Stance in Heated Exchange
During his Senate Armed Services Committee confirmation hearing, Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump’s nominee for Defense Secretary, faced intense questioning regarding his past statements on women in the military, with Senators Shaheen and Gillibrand highlighting inconsistencies between his prior criticisms and his recent supportive statements. Hegseth’s nomination also drew sharp criticism from Democratic Senators concerning numerous allegations, including sexual assault, financial misconduct, and inflammatory remarks. Despite these concerns and a lack of relevant management experience, Hegseth’s confirmation remains possible with Trump’s continued support. The hearing was further disrupted by protesters who voiced their disapproval of his nomination.
