Tim Miller, a former spokesperson for the Republican National Committee, criticized Donald Trump's nomination of Fox News host Pete Hegseth for defense secretary. Miller described Hegseth's personal life as a "total disaster," citing allegations of sexual misconduct and his tumultuous relationships. Hegseth claims he was cleared of sexual assault allegations from a 2017 incident, stating the encounter was consensual. However, Miller highlighted troubling details from a police report, including Hegseth's behavior at a conservative conference while going through a divorce. Miller argued that Hegseth's lack of qualifications and questionable judgment make his nomination inappropriate. He emphasized that Hegseth's background as a talk show host does not meet the standards for such a significant position.
