Elizabeth Warren Tries To Trash Pete Hegseth, Gets A Quick Lesson On Who He Really Is

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) tried to trash U.S. Army veteran Pete Hegseth — President-elect Donald Trump’s choice for incoming Defense Secretary — but instead she got a quick lesson on who he really is.

Warren took to X to voice her grievances with Hegseth — who, in addition to his military service, has spent a fair amount of time as a host on Fox News — and she suggested in her post that his tenure at the network was the only reason Trump could have for choosing him.

“A Fox & Friends weekend co-host is not qualified to be the Secretary of Defense,” she posted. “I lead the Senate military personnel panel. All three of my brothers served in uniform. I respect every one of our servicemembers. Donald Trump’s pick will make us less safe and must be rejected.”

The Federalist’s Sean Davis had a similar thought: “Pete Hegseth is a 20-year military veteran, a decorated combat veteran, a recipient of the Bronze Star (2x), and graduated from both Harvard and Princeton. You falsely claimed to be an Indian to get a job you couldn’t get on the merits. Sit down, Pocahontas.”
