Huckabee praises Hegseth, blames 'woke' mindset for low military recruitment [View all]
Source: The Hill
Mike Huckabee (R), Arkansas’s former governor and newly appointed U.S. ambassador to Israel, commended President-elect Trump for selecting Pete Hegseth to lead the Department of Defense.
“I think he’s going to be just as disruptive, which needs to happen at the DOD. They’ve been so focused on being woke and being diverse that nobody wants to join them,” Huckabee said Friday on NewsMax’s “Rob Schmitt Tonight.”

"The military has always been a meritocracy. It’s never been some social experiment,” the Republican said.
“So if Pete Hegseth goes in and gets rid of some of these folks who politically got their jobs rather than for military capacity, God bless him. Good for him.”
