Seth Meyers highlighted the absurdity of Pete Hegseth's confirmation hearing, questioning his qualifications and calling out the hypocrisy in his stance against former generals working in the defense industry while preparing to do so himself.
During Hegseth's Senate confirmation hearing, he faced scrutiny regarding past allegations of excessive drinking and harassment, which Meyers humorously noted as concerning given Hegseth's history and qualifications for leading the Pentagon.
With a biting quip, Meyers commented on Hegseth's ongoing dismissal of serious allegations, suggesting that maintaining his sobriety for the hearing didn't change the nature of the smears against him.
Meyers also drew attention to the contentious support for Hegseth by the MAGA movement, emphasizing the contradictions between their anti-war claims and the endorsement of Hegseth for a military leadership role.
