GOP Senator Exposes Pentagon Pete's 'Amateur Hour' Scheme [View all]

Republican Sen. Thom Tillis has gone scorched earth on “impulsive” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over his decision to downgrade the Army’s top command overseeing Europe and Africa.

As a result of the downgrade, NOTUS revealed that the Pentagon is replacing four-star Gen. Christopher Donahue with a three-star general or lieutenant general.

The North Carolina senator condemned the move as a “careless decision” and called out Hegseth and his “political henchmen” for what he said was an effort to push out some of the military’s top officers, calling it “amateur hour at best and deadly at worst.”

“Hegseth would do well to surround himself with more patriots like General Donahue and to get his henchmen, who are not qualified to carry Donahue’s bag, out of the Pentagon,” Tillis added.

He's not running for reelection, so I guess Tillis can be more frank about things.
