Duckworth criticized Hegseth's nomination as Defense Secretary, stating that his low military rank and unqualified nature make him unfit for the position.
Duckworth described Hegseth's opposition to women combat roles as indicative of his inability to understand modern military needs and called it a reflection of his 'low rank and lack of experience'.
Expressing her concerns over Hegseth's past behavior, Duckworth remarked that Trump nominating Hegseth was 'frankly an insult' and 'really troubling' due to credible allegations against him.
Duckworth, a combat veteran herself, emphasized her disappointment about Hegseth's nomination, asserting that it is not suitable for someone with allegations of having paid off a rape victim.
