Sen. Tammy Duckworth: Pete Hegseth Is ‘an Incompetent Fool’ and ‘a Misogynist’

EXCERPT:

DUCKWORTH: “Well, Pete Hegseth is an incompetent fool. He is a misogynist, and he’s been trying to get rid of women’s role in our military. He obviously must have lost out a promotion to a female service member at some point. And is, you know, on a personal vendetta. But bottom line, in the testimony, he said, we are doing this to the highest male standard, as if there were only two standards in the military. And in fact, the physical fitness standards are actually graduated based on age as well. So, a 40-year-old serviceman — serviceman does not have to run the two miles as fast as an 18-year-old serviceman. So, it is also differentiated by age as well as by gender. And frankly, you know, as someone who served in a combat arms Branch, and I volunteered to serve in the first combat arms branch that actually accepted women into combat roles, which is as a helicopter pilot, you know, I know what the experience is.”
