Unknowing anything about the Defense dept, he speaks of this terrible crash. Like he knows about the Controller, pilots, etc. How can you approve of this man being the head of Defense Dept. Unreal that you and others republican are so eager to please trump (and yes, from the beginning, I have never captilized his name He is not worthy of that). You need to step and vote no on all these crazy things that man is trying to do. It is not too late. Can you stand up to him.

The investigation
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth was on camera talking on his previous employer’s station when this happened. Instead of getting up to speed on what is going on with the people he manages. He is going on about DEI. Women, minorities, and disabled vets are the scapegoats for everything! Performance should not be based on anything except qualifications and ability to do the job.
Weekend TV host and a former Congressman and reality TV personality are the point people for “qualified” cabinet members for this tragedy.
