Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) tore into War Secretary Pete Hegseth on Wednesday, blaming the department head’s “inept management” for Army Secretary Dan Driscoll’s exit and calling for his firing.

Though Tillis voted for Hegseth’s confirmation in January 2025, the senator has since become critical of the secretary, publicly voicing his opposition to Hegseth during his last few months in office, since Tillis is not seeking reelection.
