Jennifer Rubin: ‘Shameful’ for Joni Ernst to ‘Bend the Knee’ and Support Hegseth
RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
COLEMAN: “I want to start with you, Jen. And listen to what Pete Hegseth walked back has been on women in the military from November until now.”
[Clip starts]
Hegseth: “We should not have women in combat roles. It hasn’t made us more effective. Hasn’t made us more lethal. Has made fighting more complicated. I also want an opportunity here to clarify comments that have been misconstrued that I somehow don’t support women in the military. Some our greatest warriors, our best warriors out there are women.”

And it is emblematic of the depths to which the Republican Party has fallen that no one, not even Joni Ernst has the nerve to oppose such an outrageous pick. So I’m not surprised anymore. I’m mildly disappointed. But frankly, anyone, including Mitch McConnell who now has taken upon himself the role of fighting America first, who votes to confirm this guy, is going to be responsible for the consequences. And those consequences could include a military disaster. A lack of preparedness, a—“
