(Gateway Pundit) Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren is getting an earful on Twitter/X after criticizing Trump’s choice of Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense.
Warren’s post is insulting to Hegseth. She refers to him as merely a host on FOX and Friends, without mentioning his military experience, his honors, or his top notch education.
Warren’s attitude here is precisely the kind of elitist snobbery that cost Democrats so much in the election.
Here’s Warren’s tweet:
A Fox & Friends weekend co-host is not qualified to be the Secretary of Defense.
I lead the Senate military personnel panel. All three of my brothers served in uniform. I respect every one of our servicemembers.
Donald Trump’s pick will make us less safe and must be rejected. https://t.co/6ADUJSm8x6

Here’s a sampling of the blowback:
Pete Hegseth is a 20-year military veteran, a decorated combat veteran, a recipient of the Bronze Star (2x), and graduated from both Harvard and Princeton.
You falsely claimed to be an Indian to get a job you couldn’t get on the merits. Sit down, Pocahontas. https://t.co/BjCiROQVGn

He has a Harvard master’s degree. (Not to mention 20 years of military service.) Wasn’t teaching at Harvard your qualification for being a Senator? https://t.co/W2udPyBpw9
