Duckworth Condemns Hegseth’s DOD Nomination: Clueless and Unqualified
Pete Hegseth’s Senate confirmation hearing for Secretary of Defense revealed a profound lack of qualifications for the position. Hegseth demonstrated insufficient knowledge of key international security negotiations and crucial geopolitical entities like ASEAN, even admitting his lack of experience while suggesting he would hire more qualified personnel. Senator Duckworth, a combat veteran, highlighted this alarming lack of preparedness, expressing concern for the impact on military personnel and international relations. Despite Hegseth’s demonstrated incompetence, his nomination appears likely to proceed due to Republican support.
