Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer condemned Pete Hegseth as one of the worst nominees for the Trump administration's cabinet. Hegseth faced serious accusations, including allegations of sexual misconduct and substance abuse, as well as claims of creating an unsafe environment for his second wife, despite her denial of any physical abuse. Schumer emphasized the gravity of the situation, stating that the Department of Defense's leadership is critical, and he expressed hope for bipartisan opposition against Hegseth's nomination during the upcoming Senate vote.
Pete Hegseth is so utterly unqualified, he ranks up there with vote as one of the very worst nominees that could be put forward.
The Defense Department. People's lives depend on it. Civilians and of course, the men and women in the armed services. And Pete Hegseth has shown himself not only incapable of running a large organization.
I am hopeful we will get our Republican colleagues to join us. There'll be a vote this afternoon.
