President Trump has his Secretary of Defense and it is a name no one saw coming.
Just a short time ago, President Trump announced he had selected Fox News’s own Pete Hegseth to lead the Department of Defense (DOD). He cited Hegseth’s stellar America First credentials and decorated service on as an army combat veteran.
He also cited Hegseth’s book “The War on Warriors,” which analyzed the left’s betrayal of those who have risked their lives to serve our nation.
Earlier today, The Gateway Pundit reported that Tulsi Gabbard was said to be angling for arguably the most critical national security role. Former United States Secretary of Veterans Affairs Robert Wilkie was another name floated as a potential DOD Secretary pick.
The choice of Hegseth is an unorthodox pick from a field of contenders that included Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), who earned favor in military circles for working closely with the Pentagon on defense legislation; House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-Ala.); and Democrat-turned-Republican former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii, an Army National Guard member like Hegseth.
Hegseth, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, has been with the cable news giant since 2014, most recently as a co-host of “Fox & Friends Weekend.”
The Fox News Channel released a statement saying they were proud of Hegseth’s work and wished him the best.
