Republican Senator Calls on Trump to Fire Hegseth for ‘Inept Management’
Tillis said Hegseth has created a leadership void by forcing out at least 20 senior military leaders, including Army Secretary Dan Driscoll.
- On Wednesday, Sen. Thom Tillis called on President Donald Trump to fire Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, citing "inept management" following Army Secretary Dan Driscoll's resignation earlier this week.
- Months of reported friction between Driscoll and Hegseth preceded the resignation, as Hegseth's tenure has seen approximately 20 generals, admirals, and civilian defense leaders fired or pushed out.
- Tillis, who served on the Senate Armed Services Committee for 8 years, claimed Hegseth is "creating a leadership void at the top of our military ranks" by forcing out talented leaders.
- Republican Sen. Mike Rounds expressed disappointment over the exit, while Jack Reed warned that Hegseth is inflicting "lasting harm" on the Department of Defense through unexplained personnel blocks.
- Scrutiny of Hegseth continues over his focus on "ginning up culture wars" instead of national defense, following the dismissal of Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Brown and Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Franchetti.
