WARREN: “You are quite sure every General who serves should not go directly into the defense industry for 10 years but you’re not willing to make that same pledge?”
HEGSETH: “I’m not a General, Senator.”
Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Roger Wicker: “I think it was a magnificent display of his knowledge and his ability to communicate — his leadership abilities — and I feel very good about this hearing today. I don’t think it could have gone any better.”
Pete Hegseth: “Senator, I’m grateful to be hired by one of the most successful CEOs in American history, should I be confirmed.” Senator Roger Wicker: “Mr. Hegseth, it seems to me that you’ve supervised far more people than the average United States Senator.”
Pete Hegseth decries the Biden admin’s botched Afghanistan withdrawal: “They still tout it as the most successful airlift in American history, when what the rest of us all saw was true laid before our eyes: utter failure, a destruction of military legacies there, abandonment of our allies, death of American troops, detriment to our reputation, and then no answers and no accountability.”
