Elizabeth Warren: Hegseth Not Qualified as SecDef

"A Fox & Friends weekend co-host is not qualified to be the Secretary of Defense. I lead the Senate military personnel panel. All three of my brothers served in uniform." - Elizabeth Warren

Pocahontas has the temerity to claim that someone is not qualified for a position. Yes, the same white woman who claimed her high cheekbones made her Native American and thus qualified her for special treatment to become a Harvard law professor.

She has led the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Personnel during a time of failing to meet recruiting goals and surging DEI foolishness. Yet she claims overseeing those failures somehow qualifies her to pass judgment on Pete Hegseth's qualifications.

And her three brothers served in uniform. But how does that help her understand the military? Just like she glommed on to a fake Indian identity, she is trying to glom onto her brothers' service to make her an authority on who should be Secretary of Defense.

Maybe a shakeup in DoD and sending the fake Indian packing from her job in charge of the Senate military personnel subcommittee would be a good start to reforming the military.

    Glommed - that’s an apt word I haven’t heard in awhile. Warren is repugnant in her arrogance. I wonder if her brothers appreciate being used thus.

    Hegseth’s nomination at DoD is one of my absolute favorites. After 40+ years as a consultant to mega-large organizations my usual complaint is that “ no one who runs the organization has ever actually done the job”

    Hegseth has walked the walk. It’s about time someone who’s been at the pointy end of the spear has the top job.

    Hurrah for Pete!!!!

    Maybe she just needs to look up his credentials! I can't wait for him to get started!

    Whose credentials? Pete's, or her brothers?

    Are they Native American too?

    The Dems don't want to hear about native Americans- didn't you hear? That demographic gave Trump his greatest margin.
