Sen. Markwayne Mullin criticized his colleagues, claiming many senators lack qualifications for their role while questioning Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth's suitability based on his past.
Mullin asserted that it's hypocritical for senators, particularly from the Democratic side, to challenge Hegseth's qualifications, when their own qualifications to serve in the Senate are questionable.
He highlighted the disparity in qualifications between senators and Hegseth, emphasizing that the role of the Secretary of Defense merely requires civilian status, not specific high-level experience.
Mullin called out senators asking how many had shown up intoxicated or had personal failings that would disqualify them, pointing out the hypocrisy of their inquiries.
