President-elect Donald J. Trump publicly endorsed Pete Hegseth for Defense Secretary, characterizing him as a 'fantastic' choice with a 'military state of mind' despite troubling allegations surrounding him.
In a bold social media statement, Trump challenged Republican senators to vote against Hegseth if they dare, asserting that media reports misrepresent the support Hegseth truly has.
Trump acknowledged Hegseth's background, stating he is 'Princeton/Harvard educated' and described him as a charismatic leader, reinforcing his commitment to Hegseth amidst mounting controversies.
With numerous allegations of Hegseth's problematic behavior including past abuse claims and financial mismanagement, Trump's strong backing signals a willingness to confront dissent within his party.
