Elected Representative Nancy Lacorea former military officer, severely reprimanded the Defense Secretary on Sunday Pete Hegseth.
In an interview with CBS’s “Face the Nation,” the South Carolina Democrat called Hegseth “the least qualified secretary this nation has ever seen” and claimed she was never told why Hegseth fired her from the Navy.
“I was never given a reason when I was discharged in August 2025,” said Lacore, who served in the military for 35 years. “I don’t think any of the other generals and admirals ever had reasons either. And, frankly, at this point, it doesn’t really matter. You know, it opened the door for me to do what I’m doing now and continue my service in Congress.”
Hegseth fired the three-star vice admiral from her post as head of the Naval Reserve in August 2025. Then, in January, she announced her candidacy for Congress — for a seat as Republican Rep. Nancy Macé served for three terms.
