  • Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump's nominee for Defense secretary, faced criticism for his past comments about women in combat.

The article discusses a confrontation at a House Armed Services Committee hearing where Fox News host Pete Hegseth was challenged by Rep. Shontel Brown (D-Ohio) regarding his past support for a policy endorsed by former President Donald Trump. This policy aimed to restrict transgender individuals from serving in the military. Hegseth, who previously served in the military and has since become a vocal conservative commentator, had to address his earlier stance on women's roles in the military, particularly his support for Trump's policy which was seen as potentially limiting opportunities for women. During the hearing, Rep. Brown highlighted the contradiction between Hegseth's military service and his advocacy for policies that could be viewed as discriminatory. Hegseth responded by clarifying his position, emphasizing his belief in military readiness and effectiveness over political considerations, while also acknowledging the evolving role of women in the military.
