“Rep. Betty McCollum (D-Minn.), ranking member of the House Appropriations subcommittee on defense, said she had concerns about several of Hegseth’s views, including his statements supporting the Jan. 6, 2021, rioters.”

By Tom Hauser, KSTP

“Minnesota Democratic Congresswoman Betty McCollum strongly opposes Hegseth for his views on women in the military and other issues. ‘I have great respect for anyone who has served our nation in the U.S. Armed Forces,’ the ranking Democrat on the House Subcommittee on Defense Appropriations said in a statement issued Wednesday. ‘However, not everyone who has worn the uniform is qualified to lead the Department of Defense. While much is unknown about Mr. Hegseth, I share the bipartisan concern that he is ill-prepared to serve as Secretary of Defense. I have serious questions about his views on the role of women in the Armed Forces, who comprise nearly 20 percent of our uniformed personnel. His advocacy for the January 6th rioters and his questioning of the Uniform Code of Military Justice are very troubling.’”
