PolitiFact: Live fact-checking Pete Hegseth's Senate confirmation hearing

Pete Hegseth, a Fox News personality, faced scrutiny during his Senate confirmation hearing for a position on the National Security Education Board, as reported by WLRN. The article fact-checks several claims made by Hegseth, including his assertions about his military service, his academic credentials, and his statements on national security issues. Hegseth claimed extensive combat experience, but records show his deployments were less extensive than described. His academic background was also questioned, with discrepancies noted between his claimed expertise and actual qualifications. Additionally, his views on education and security were challenged, particularly his stance on critical race theory and his interpretation of national security threats, which some senators and fact-checkers found to be misinformed or exaggerated. The piece highlights the importance of verifying public figures' claims, especially when they are considered for influential government roles.
