Scott Jennings just went scorched earth on CNN defending Pete Hegseth

HOLY SMOKES: Scott Jennings just went scorched earth on Carl Bernstein and CNN panel defending Pete Hegseth — while excoriating current Pentagon leadership over their disastrous record. 🔥🔥🔥 “Does anyone have confidence in the current leadership of the Pentagon? And the way the defense situation has been operating for the last several years? I mean, from the Afghanistan pullout, which was an extreme debacle for which no one was held accountable. We've had spy balloons flying over the United States. We built a $300 million pier as a public relations stunt, which wound up killing an American service member.

"I hear all the criticism of him is that he's not the expected Washington pick. And I'm just saying to you that the American people just voted against the expected Washington pick."

"He's got 20 years in service. Afghanistan, Iraq. Two bronze stars. Princeton, Harvard. Yeah, he's on TV, but so are the rest of us."
