Trump putting in 'entirely incompetent toadies': Senate confirms Hegseth to lead Pentagon - The Last Word - MSNBC [View all]

Despite sexual assault and excessive drinking allegations, the Senate confirmed Pete Hegseth’s nomination as Secretary of Defense.

The Atlantic’s Tom Nichols and MSNBC political analyst Jennifer Rubin join MSNBC’s Ali Velshi to discuss the message this sends to the American public that someone whose behavior would have been “disqualifying” in any other position in the military will now lead more than 3 million military service members and civilian employees. - Aired on 01/24/2025.
