Sen. Duckworth Criticizes Hegseth's Stance on Women in Combat
TL;DR Summary
Senator Tammy Duckworth criticized Donald Trump's nomination of Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense, citing his lack of military command experience and controversial views on women in combat roles. Duckworth, a retired Army National Guard lieutenant colonel, described Hegseth as "inordinately unqualified" for overseeing the Pentagon's vast operations and budget. Hegseth, a Fox News commentator, also faces a sexual assault allegation, which Duckworth argues makes him unsuitable for the position. Concerns were raised about Senate Republicans potentially approving Trump's nominees without scrutiny.
