David French: Pete Hegseth ‘Is an Ideological Pick for an Ideological Witch Hunt’

EXCERPT:

FRENCH: “And Pete Hegseth — I’m sorry. You know, look, we should respect his service overseas. He has served his country honorably, as have thousands and thousands and thousands of other Americans since 9/11. And look, honestly, you could find 10,000 people living in greater Washington, D.C., who are more qualified to be Secretary of Defense than Hegseth, and who have far fewer skeletons in their closet. This is not a pick. This is not a serious pick for serious reform. This is an ideological pick for an ideological witch hunt. And that is not what we need in the United States right now.”
