In a recent episode of The Jim Acosta Show, former CNN anchors Don Lemon and Jim Acosta harshly criticized Pete Hegseth's qualifications as Defense Secretary. Acosta pointed to the Signalgate scandal to argue that Hegseth's merit-based rhetoric was undermined by his actions, including leaking sensitive war plans via Signal within just weeks of his appointment. Lemon echoed these sentiments, questioning the concept of meritocracy in American leadership and drawing parallels between Hegseth's overconfidence and a failed CNN executive. Their comments highlight concerns about unqualified individuals in positions of power.
When you actually think about it, right? And you think about all the people who are in positions of power, especially, and all the chances that they've had to screw up this country and they have in many ways.
Pete Hegseth gets up at his confirmation hearing, you know, a guy who comes from Fox and he's going to be announced as the defense secretary.
