Tim Kaine on Firings at the Pentagon: ‘Very Predictable,’ Hegseth Is the ‘Wrong Person’ to Be Secy. Of Defense
EXCERPT:
KAINE: “This is a sad but very predictable situation. I think those of us, on the Armed Services Committee, who looked at Pete Hegseth's material, and it was voluminous, before his hearing and the vote on his confirmation, two things were plain. When he was in the uniform of the United States, he served admirably. But in his leadership positions, in many organizations, since his uniformed service, he's demonstrated appalling lack of judgment, both professionally and personally, and that's why many of us, including Republicans, voted against him to be secretary of Defense. And what's happened, in the last few weeks, about these two Signalgate atrocities, just shows the lack of judgment, and that he is the wrong person to be our secretary of Defense.”
