CNN contributor and former Obama adviser Van Jones said Wednesday on CNN’s “Newsroom” that President-elect Donald Trump’s pick of Fox News host Pete Hegseth as the next secretary of defense is “very alarming.”
Jones said, “I think look, he looks great, but he sounds terrible, and I think if it’s not broke, don’t fix it. There’s the fiction that there’s something wrong with America’s military. What problem are you trying to solve? We have the most lethal, respected, the most feared military in the history of the world. There’s not even a number 2. So the idea that our military, there’s something wrong with it, our generals are terrible, this is fiction. So when you start trying to solve nonexistent problems with the best fighting force in the world, you actually create problems.”
He added, “I don’t think there’s any data or evidence that shows that having women involved in the military has made the military worse. Where’s the evidence of this? This is all fiction, and it’s all quite frightening. I don’t think anybody can defend this choice, this is not somebody, I mean, this is a Fox News host who used to be in the military. If that’s the standard we’re going to be going with, I think it’s very alarming.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Pete becomes the best defense secretary who has ever been in that office
Tim Walz is ok though Van
Did Van Commie serve?
alarming to a self professed commie
so good
Well, alarming to the commie deep state. 😆
Van, go read his book, War On Warriors, and get a clue.
It appears that liberals know at least as much about the military as they do about firearms.
Lol.
Consider the source, consider the source.
Calling Hegseth a “Fox News Host” is like calling Van Jones a “former vagina resident”. Accurate but lacking in detail.
The Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) is responsible for policy development, planning, resource management and program evaluation. OSD includes the offices of top civilian defense decision-makers with regard to personnel, weapons acquisition, research, intelligence and fiscal policy, as well as offices the Secretary establishes to assist in carrying out assigned responsibilities.
Coming from someone who had ZERO problem as a clearly diminished, confused, dementia sufferer served as CIC. Van Jones has ZERO credibility.
Shut up and go away.
Methinks Pam Key protesteth and denieth too much.
“Concerned” “Troubled” “Alarmed” (I love the words of the left)
Tens of thousands of idiots paying attention to Van Jones is very alarming.
Noise. Pay no attention to them
Recruiting is abysmal because no one wants to join a woke military for one thing.
It’s over Van.
You’ve more worthless than your words.
The people choose Hitler over you. They chose a dictator over you. …and you better start packing because he’s deporting all blacks back to Africa.
Hahahaha
In your immortal totally screwed up lines, you “woke up with a dream and went to bed with a nightmare”.
My god you’re a dunce.
Recruiting is abysmal because the standards for fitness and intellect cannot be met by the relevant generation.
