Senator Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern over allegations of misconduct by Pete Hegseth, citing them as alarming and disqualifying for a national defense role.
The New Yorker detailed a 2015 report revealing Pete Hegseth's alleged inappropriate behavior, including being intoxicated at official events and creating a toxic workplace.
Blumenthal stated, 'We cannot afford to gamble with our national security by confirming someone who might be incapacitated for any reason,' highlighting the severity of the situation.
In paralleling Hegseth's case to John Tower's 1989 rejection for similar issues, Blumenthal emphasized that such concerns should transcend partisanship.
