Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) tried to trash U.S. Army veteran <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/pete-hegseth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pete Hegseth</a> — President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s choice for incoming Defense Secretary — but instead she got a quick lesson on who he really is.
Warren took to X to voice her grievances with Hegseth — who, in addition to his military service, has spent a fair amount of time as a host on Fox News — and she suggested in her post that his tenure at the network was the only reason Trump could have for choosing him.
&#8220;A Fox &amp; Friends weekend co-host is not qualified to be the Secretary of Defense,&#8221; she posted. &#8220;I lead the Senate military personnel panel. All three of my brothers served in uniform. I respect every one of our servicemembers. Donald Trump’s pick will make us less safe and must be rejected.&#8221;

But as critics pointed out, Hegseth had also put on the uniform — and had served multiple combat tours — and had earned an Ivy League education to boot.
&#8220;You left out some of his resume: 20 years of military service. 2 bronze stars. Degrees from Princeton and Harvard. Active with veterans organizations since leaving active duty. You can go ahead and sit this one out, Senator,&#8221; Evan Berryhill posted.

The Federalist&#8217;s Sean Davis had a similar thought: &#8220;Pete Hegseth is a 20-year military veteran, a decorated combat veteran, a recipient of the Bronze Star (2x), and graduated from both Harvard and Princeton. You falsely claimed to be an Indian to get a job you couldn’t get on the merits. Sit down, Pocahontas.&#8221;

&#8220;You left out that Hegseth is twice a bronze star recipient, served 20 years in the military including Iraq and Afghanistan, is a veterans’ advocate, and is Ivy League educated,&#8221; another posted, going on to tie Warren&#8217;s comments to the sentiment that left so many Americans fed up with Democrats in last week&#8217;s general election. &#8220;Characterizing him as simply a Fox News host is a despicable lie of omission. This bulls*** is why your party was wiped out in the election. Are you all not capable of learning anything, or do you plan to just keep imploding?&#8221;

&#8220;By framing veteran and double bronze-star recipient Pete Hegseth as &#8216;weekend co-host,&#8217; you prove you don&#8217;t respect everyone one of our servicemembers,&#8221; Margot Cleveland added.

During his military career, Hegseth — who achieved the rank of Major — served tours in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Guantanamo Bay and was awarded two Bronze Stars. He also earned the <a href="https://www.hrc.army.mil/content/Combat%20Infantryman%20Badge%20CIB" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Combat Infantryman&#8217;s Badge</a> (CIB), which is only given to soldiers assigned either to an infantry unit or to a Special Forces unit who have taken enemy fire while engaged in ground combat.
Hegseth is still a member of the Minnesota National Guard&#8217;s Inactive Ready Reserve (IRR).
