Top Democrat attacks Hegseth at contentious hearing

The top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services committee struck quickly at Pete Hegseth’s confirmation hearing for Defense secretary, accusing him of not being qualified for the role.

Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.), in his opening remarks, said the Pentagon chief is expected to be a nonpartisan, and responsible leader. “I do not believe that you are qualified to meet the overwhelming demands of this job.”

Reed and other Democrats are expected to express concerns during Tuesday’s hearing about Hegseth’s qualifications, financial mismanagement, and views on military diversity. He’ll also face questions about allegations of sexual assault and excessive drinking.
