4 months agoPete Hegseth Fires Adm. Lisa Franchetti, Navy's Top Officer
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced the firing of Admiral Lisa Franchetti, marking a significant leadership change in the Navy.
That's America's secretary of defense. To use a military term, it's conduct unbecoming. He looks rattled. He obviously looks thin-skinned. He's extremely aggressive and volatile.
I'd like to say a word, if I may Dana, about Jennifer Griffin, who was attacked by the Defense Secretary today. An attack she certainly, in my view, did not deserve.
During his Senate confirmation hearing, Hegseth faced accusations from Senator Gillibrand for "denigrating" female service members, highlighting a polarizing debate on gender roles in the military.
