Bitter Retiring RINO Thom Tillis Demands President Trump FIRE Warrior Secretary of War Pete Hegseth
Here we go again.
Retiring RINO Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) launched another broadside against the Trump Administration on Wednesday, this time demanding that President Donald Trump fire Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
Tillis issued the stunning demand following the resignation of Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, who announced that Wednesday would be his final full day in the position after serving for approximately 18 months.
The North Carolina senator began by praising Driscoll as “the right man at the right moment” to lead the Army.
“Our understanding and assumptions of warfare are being challenged in places like Ukraine and Iran, and Dan understands the old way of doing business no longer applies,” Tillis wrote.
Tillis then turned his fire on Hegseth, accusing the Trump Cabinet official of driving talented military leaders out of the Pentagon.
“If we had a @SecWar who maintained the same priorities and forward-thinking, he would be fighting to retain talented leaders like Dan and the many flag officers he has forced into retirement,” Tillis wrote.
“Instead, he is creating a leadership void at the top of our military ranks.”
Then came Tillis’s demand that Trump replace Hegseth.
“I served on Senate Armed Services for 8 years and as chair or ranking member of the Personnel and Readiness subcommittee. I have never witnessed more inept management of the brave men and women who serve our country.”
“He is intimidated by competence and retreats to ginning up culture wars instead of soberly attending to the vital work of our national defense and the health and well-being of our fighting force.”
“I urge the President to find a new leader at the Pentagon who will retain and empower our military talent rather than diminish it.”
Tillis’s attack conveniently ignores Driscoll’s own farewell statement.
