In a recent interview, Sen. Kevin Cramer expressed unwavering support for Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth despite criticisms regarding his sharing of sensitive military information. Cramer acknowledged Hegseth's past errors but expressed confidence in his ability to lead effectively. He emphasized the need for Hegseth to surround himself with stable, experienced advisors, acknowledging the complexities of navigating the Pentagon's system. Cramer also noted that many staff changes have not targeted long-term members of the Pentagon, suggesting that Hegseth's challenges stem from deeper systemic issues rather than personnel alone.
I do have faith in him, and I think that the episode that you're referencing was actually prior to this most recent one.
I think he's gonna need some help around him that's reliable, that's stable, and that's not so contrary to him being there.
I think the monster that is the Pentagon was a bigger monster, perhaps, than he even thought.
I think he has lacked in the early days some real expertise, institutional expertise in the building.
