Democrats slam Hegseth as too inexperienced for Pentagon chief – Rezazade
Vice President of the Iranian Opposition in Washington (NIC), Ali Reza Rezazade, said that during a tense hearing, Republicans stood by Donald Trump’s nominee for defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, who was subjected to harsh questioning over allegations of misconduct and his views on women.
Senate Democrats on Tuesday sharply criticized Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump’s pick for defense secretary, during a tense confirmation hearing in which lawmakers examined his romantic relationships and drinking, raised doubts about his qualifications and condemned his political rhetoric and past statements that women have no place in combat. The five-hour hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee was an early test of Republican loyalty to Trump as lawmakers consider a list of unusual Cabinet nominees for the new administration, including several who, like Hegseth, have raised concerns even among Republicans.
Republicans showed on Tuesday that they are up to the challenge, voicing strong support for Hegseth, whose nomination has been dogged by allegations of misconduct, including an alleged sexual assault in 2017, financial mismanagement, excessive drinking and sexism in previous positions — all of which he denies. The allegations have raised concerns within the party that the 44-year-old former Fox News host might not garner the necessary votes to be confirmed in the Republican-dominated Senate. But by the end of the hearing, which passed without Republican dissent, Hegseth appeared to have overcome those hurdles.
The committee expects to vote on his nomination on Monday, followed by a vote by the full Senate. Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) said Tuesday night she would vote to confirm him. Hegseth, a former National Guard soldier who has urged Trump to reform the Pentagon by removing “woke” politicians and people from the Biden administration, is “a breath of fresh air” and brings “new ideas for change to the bureaucracy,” Republicans said Tuesday.
