During the confirmation hearing, the Republican majority exhibited no inclination to scrutinize or obstruct Pete Hegseth's nomination, despite his history of disqualifying behavior.
Hegseth’s record included serious allegations of personal misconduct, a lack of relevant managerial experience, and a troubling disregard for the established laws of war.
Mike Davis acknowledged that a coordinated campaign effectively shifted the Senate’s perspective on Hegseth, indicating that political pressure could override valid concerns.
Hegseth's approach during the hearing was to sidestep significant questions regarding his qualifications, with the supportive stance of the Senate committee enabling his evasions.
