Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders appeared on ‘The View’ on Monday, and in the course of the conversations, defended War Secretary Pete Hegseth from Sunny Hostin.
When pressed on the issue, Sanders reminded Hostin and the other hosts that unlike many of his critics, Hegseth has worn the uniform of the United States Military to defend the country.
Sanders did a great job here in a hostile environment.
Transcript via Overton News:
Hostin asked whether Hegseth was doing a good job THREE different times, hoping for a different answer.
Sanders didn’t budge. Not an inch.
SANDERS: “I think that Pete Hegseth, let me tell you, he loves our country, he is unlike any of us sitting here, he’s put on a uniform and fought to defend it.”
“He has served and sacrificed.”
HOSTIN: “Do you think he’s doing a good job?”
SANDERS: “I think he has an incredibly difficult job.”
HOSTIN: “Do you think he’s doing a good job?”
SANDERS: “I think from the things I have seen personally, yes, Pete Hegseth came into my state and he stood and helped swear in other members of the military, talked about what that means, the service and the sacrifice that comes with it.”
“Anybody in that position is going to face difficult challenges, but the president has to be empowered to decide who his team is. He has to have the confidence in those individuals.”
