Americans should question and be aware of not only Mr. Hegseth’s disqualifying issues but the ways in which Republicans are seemingly being strong-armed to confirm him.
Now, perhaps because some are worried about Trump on social media or are the targets of orchestrated campaigns funded by think tanks, the majority of our Senators apparently are seriously considering confirming Hegseth.
Before the Trump Administration, Senators behaved independently of the Executive Branch and took seriously and judiciously each nominee’s record — their achievements and abilities, their experience, and their true beliefs about America and her role in the world.
As the military has been struggling to recruit people to serve, young women are an increasingly growing and vital pool, especially as young men are struggling to meet military eligibility requirements. His presence in this position will be chilling to readiness and recruiting.
Finally, and not least, Mr. Hegseth would previously never have been nominated to any Cabinet position, let alone be considered to run a global military force with more than 20% female soldiers.
Mr. Hegseth’s sexual behavior and serial infidelity would have automatically disqualified him because he is vulnerable to coercion.
Mr. Hegseth's alcohol problems would have also automatically disqualified him because he cannot be counted on to be sober when we need him — to deploy American troops, to combat emerging and established threats, and to make dire, timely decisions to represent this country.
We also know that before the Trump administration:
Mr. Hegseth’s well-documented mismanagement of the two very small nonprofit companies he ran would have automatically disqualified him from running the Defense Department — with its $800 billion budget and 3+ million employees.
I and many others in the House and the Senate served in our nation’s military before joining Congress. We know that the vast majority of people who choose to serve in uniform are immensely qualified, serious, and dignified. We know how critical the role of the Defense Secretary is.
Today's confirmation hearing for Pete Hegseth is incredibly important for our military and national security.
Read my thoughts on this hearing below. 🧵
Today, I voted against the Laken Riley Act. Learn more about this vote in my statement below. houlahan.house.gov/news/documen...
The election of President Biden was legitimate 4 years ago and the election of President-Elect Trump in November was too. I am on Capitol Hill not only to fulfill my obligation to the nation and democracy but to mark a dark and bloody day in our history that we shouldn't forget.
Today, because Republicans are satisfied with the results of this election, the certification is little more than a perfunctory event — and that's not only because Republicans are happy with the outcome but because democracy worked.
The rioters were called to the Capitol to stop the lawful, Constitutional certification of the election because Trump lost. The rioters broke laws, desecrating American property and institutions in the process.
Four years ago, I was barricaded in an office in the Longworth building during an insurrection. The riot at the Capitol was neither peaceful nor "a day of love," as President-Elect Trump has continually tried to reframe it.
I was just sworn in for my fourth term in Congress. Today and every day, it is an immense honor and privilege to serve the people of Pennsylvania's 6th Congressional District.
I look forward to delivering for Berks and Chester Counties in the 119th Congress.
