In a scathing rebuke, Republican Senator Thom Tillis has taken aim at Secretary of Veterans Affairs Pete Hegseth, accusing him of providing President Trump with misguided advice on Iran. The sharp criticism comes as tensions between the Biden administration and Iran continue to escalate. Tillis' comments, made on Sunday, also drew a pointed comparison between Hegseth and former South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, who Tillis surprisingly described as "a five-star recruit," implying that Hegseth's performance is subpar in comparison. The remarks have added fuel to the ongoing power struggle within the Republican Party.
GOP Sen. Thom Tillis ripped Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Sunday, saying he gave President Trump bad advice on Iran and makes disastrous ex-Cabinet member Kristi Noem look like “a five-star recruit."
