President Trump announced his nomination of Pete Hegseth to be secretary of defense this evening, rounding out a strong stable of national-security professionals including Elise Stefanik at the United Nations, Representative Mike Waltz to be national security adviser, and former intelligence chief and congressman John Ratcliffe to be CIA director.
Pete is an unconventional pick. He has spent his last few years as one of the co-hosts of Fox & Friends. As we speak, newsrooms across the country are preparing snide commentary that will highlight his time at the network rather than his time in uniform.
