Opinion | Time’s Up, Hegseth
W.J. Hennigan's New York Times opinion essay calls Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth America's least qualified Pentagon leader ever and argues President Trump should follow the 2006 Rumsfeld precedent and part with him, after midterms that Hennigan reads as voters' dissatisfaction with the eight-month Iran war, which has killed at least 23 U.S. service members. Hegseth posted a video defending his record and praising Trump as Democrats plan January investigations and Representative Thomas Massie prepares impeachment articles, which Hennigan calls largely symbolic but likely to fail in the Senate.
