Meet President-elect Donald Trump’s candidate for secretary of defence: Fox News weekend host Pete Hegseth. He was announced as the pick for the highest-ranking leader in the Department of Defence, despite being widely unqualified and inexperienced.
In this video, Mehdi Hasan unpacks six of Hegseth’s extreme, war-mongering views and ideas – all of which are likely to break Trump’s dubious promise to bring lasting peace to the Middle East or anywhere else.
Mehdi explains that Hegseth is, among other things, an “Islamophobic, Christian Zionist hawk” and argues that it is not the lack of experience or his association with right-wing media that should worry people the most – it is his clear love for war, war crimes and war criminals.
