Republican Senator Who Cast Deciding Vote For Pete Hegseth Says He Would Take It Back If He Could

The Republican senator who cast the deciding vote to confirm Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense trashed him in a CNN interview, saying that if he had it to do over again, he’d take it back. Speaking with Jake Tapper, Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) blasted the defense secretary’s job performance. “With the passing of time, I think it’s clear he’s out of his depth as a manager of a large complex organization,” Tillis said. Tillis went on to criticize Hegseth for reportedly freezing weapons shipments to Ukraine without getting approval from President Trump. “I mean, this whole idea of having a pause in Ukraine defensive arms, that’s just amateurish. That’s from somebody who doesn’t understand large organization dynamics,” Tillis said. n18oc_crux
