Tillis calls Pentagon under Hegseth a ‘leadership void’



Republican Sen. Thom Tillis is urging President Donald Trump to replace Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth amid growing turmoil at the Pentagon. Tillis criticized Hegseth for what he described as a “leadership void” following the departure of Army Secretary Dan Driscoll and other military leaders. The criticism comes as reports say military deployments in the Middle East have been extended into 2027, despite Trump previously signaling the conflict could wind down.

  1. Hegseth would be a nobody if the war was over. Of course it will continue. The Trump organization is making millions off of death and destruction. Good going Republican Christians. I'm sure Jesus has a very special place for you all 👹🤡

  2. Guy is a hypocrite 😂 Talks about Testosterone requirement for male soldiers yet put out a workout video where he was struggling like nobodys business 🤡 I think hes got low T himself

  3. Leadership void. That's funny. A New York Times analysis of cabinet meeting footage found that one in every six sentences spoken by cabinet members was flattery toward Trump — the cabinet functions less as a governing body than a "professional cheering section." The leadership model, as one op-ed put it, has "zero room for punching up" — blame flows laterally or down, never to the top.

    Hegseth is purging competent officers and stoking culture wars instead of managing a war, but the "leadership void" is arguably structural. The whole cabinet was assembled on loyalty over capability, operates as a flattery machine, and has been described by critics as the worst in U.S. history. Singling out one secretary as the source of the void is a bit like blaming the clown for the clown car.

    That said, Tillis has a legitimate specific grievance: Hegseth's purge is degrading readiness during an active war, and Tillis himself cast the pivotal 51st vote to confirm him last year. So it's part legitimate accountability, part political theater, and part the broader dysfunction. (I had a little help with composition – still the point is mine)

  4. WE SUPPORT PETE HEGSETH, HE IS THE BEST SEC. OF WAR/ DEFENSE AMERICA HAS EVER HAD. Democrat Leftist, trans, and MUTINOUS TERRORISTS are afraid that their invadion of America's Military is being thwarted. KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT WORK PETE HEGSETH. The Enemies from WITHIN are on the Run. Democrat terrorists are angry.

  5. Kegs needs to go. His wife is constantly by his side. This would never be acceptable in the private sector. Impeach and prosecute Kegs and wife for war crimes. A.S.A.P.
    Like other Norwegian-Americans from Minnesota and South Dakota, the pretend "Vikings" are wh*te power clowns who are astonishingly incompetent. Get them out.

  6. I can’t stand Pete Hegseth anyone can tell he’s not intelligent enough to be over the military. Hegseth wouldn’t have this position if he didn’t bow down to trump. No other President would have him in their circle but these Clowns in Washington now!

  7. Tillis is a bad joke and the poster child for what a supposed conservative politician who is only in politics for himself looks like. I don't believe he has a clue about leadership much less military leadership.
