Republicans on the Senate Armed Services Committee on Monday voted to advance Pete Hegseth’s nomination for defense secretary to the Senate floor. Massachusetts Democrat Elizabeth Warren, a member of the Armed Services Committee, blasted her Republican colleagues for “rushing through the most unqualified nominee for U.S. Secretary of Defense in modern history.” Hegseth has been accused of domestic violence, rape, being drunk on the job, Islamophobia and mismanaging two nonprofits’ funds, among other things.
