Trans Rep. Sarah McBride criticized Pete Hegseth, accusing him of being unwilling to surround himself with people who question his superiority. She also claimed he has pursued an ideological agenda at the expense of national and military security.

McBride stated that Hegseth has fomented culture wars since his tenure at the Pentagon began. McBride's criticism suggests that Hegseth's actions have made the military weaker. Her comments were made in an interview on Tuesday, in which she expressed strong disapproval of Hegseth's performance as Secretary of Defense.
