<p>NewsNation host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/chris-cuomo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chris Cuomo</a> unloaded on Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) during a Tuesday segment addressing the confirmation hearing for decorated Army veteran Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s pick to lead the Pentagon.</p>
<p>Cuomo recapped parts of Hegseth&#8217;s televised hearing before the Senate Armed Forces Committee, and he argued that Kaine&#8217;s single-minded focus on Hegseth&#8217;s prior marital troubles had swung wide of the mark.</p>

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Chris Cuomo torches Democratic senators for their behavior during <a href="https://twitter.com/PeteHegseth?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PeteHegseth</a>&#39;s SECDEF confirmation hearing: </p>
<p>&quot;Bipartisan national security commission found we are not ready for war with China or Russia…and Sen. Tim Kaine wants to talk to exhaustion about his marriage.&quot; <a href="https://t.co/4TmR0F5Np7">pic.twitter.com/4TmR0F5Np7</a></p>

<p>Although Cuomo was harshest on Kaine, he was critical of several of the senators who had questioned Hegseth during the sometimes-contentious hearing that had taken place earlier that day.</p>
<p>&#8220;My opinion is we saw the enemy today at Pete Hegseth’s Armed Services Committee hearing, and it’s us. Not you, but the toxic game of division played by the people who we put in power,&#8221; he began.</p>
<p>&#8220;What questions would you have for a potential secretary of defense?&#8221; Cuomo asked then, offering his own suggestions: &#8220;What are you going to do about China, Russia, terror, Pentagon size, drones?&#8221;</p>

<p>But then he pivoted to what the Democrats on the committee had actually asked Hegseth about, adding, &#8220;Or would your top concern be his marriage? Is your biggest fear that an army of trans folk are going to take over? Because those were the concerns that the most deliberative body in the world focused on today.&#8221;</p>
<p>Cuomo then directly referenced Kaine&#8217;s line of questioning — a series of queries all related to Hegseth&#8217;s marital infidelities and whether or not he was fit to serve if he&#8217;d broken his marriage vows: &#8220;Here is the moment that Democrats are choosing to send around the internet as their big win: Senator Tim Kaine giving Hegseth the Bill Clinton.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Two points of disgust: How many people on that committee, how many in Congress, could pass the Kaine test that you can’t honor an oath to serve if you’ve ever been unfaithful?&#8221; Cuomo asked, taking much the same position as Senator Markwayne Mullin had during the hearing. &#8220;Kaine may be sitting in that room alone.&#8221;</p>
<p>“Who cares when we are talking about being the top warrior, not our pastor?&#8221; Cuomo took the argument a step further. &#8220;I’ll tell you who agreed with me once about this: Tim Kaine. He supported Bill Clinton for president. He didn’t say he couldn’t serve despite all he knew about his peccadilloes. He still backed him. Why? Is president not as important an oath? So, what changed?&#8221;</p>
