Dem Rep. Goldman: ‘Shocked’ Trump Picked an Unqualified Fox News Host to Head Pentagon

Representative Dan Goldman (D-NY) said Tuesday on CNN’s “OutFront” that he was “shocked” President-elect Donald Trump picked Fox News host Pete Hegseth as the next secretary of defense. Host Erin Burnett said, “First Pete Hegseth, Trump choosing him, the Fox News host, for Defense Secretary. What do you think?” Goldman said, “I’m shocked, truly. This is exactly what we worry about and warned about Donald Trump, which is that he is going to appoint unqualified loyalists to shape this government into his own personal thiefdom, and get revenge on generals and put essentially really unqualified people.”
