Michigan Democratic Sen. Elissa Slotkin defined why she voted towards confirming Pete Hegseth as secretary of protection on ABC Information’ “This Week” on Sunday.
Hegseth, a former Fox Information host, was sworn into the position Saturday following a hair-thin vote within the Senate.
Slotkin informed “This Week” co-anchor Martha Raddatz she had not been assured Hegseth can be extra loyal to the Structure than he can be to President Donald Trump.
“He could not unambiguously say that he’ll push again if the president requested him to do one thing that wasn’t constitutional, and that, to me, is why I could not affirm him,” Slotkin stated. “There’s lots of different issues in his background I do not like, however I have a look at what’s the strategic and irreversible threats to our democracy, and that is utilizing the uniform army in ways in which violate the Structure.”
