Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger expressed his worries about Kash Patel, Pete Hegseth, and Tulsi Gabbard's appointments in the Trump administration, citing concerns about weaponized justice, unqualified leadership at the Defense Department, and Gabbard's support for Assad's regime.
: “I mean, for the country, Kash Patel , because I think once you weaponize Justice or the FBI, that’s a huge problem. … There’s really no oversight.”
Kinzinger told Colbert that Hegseth is the second-most-troubling pick, as the Defense Department “is the largest corporation in the world.” Hegseth, a military veteran turned television pundit,“There’s people that put their lives on the line,” Kinzinger said Monday about the Defense Department, “and Pete served honorably in the military, but by the way, anywhere in D.C. there’s probably 50,000 people as or better qualified than Pete Hegseth to run the DOD.
