Van Jones: Pete Hegseth Is Fox News Host Who Used To Be in the Military, if That’s the Standard, It’s Very Alarming

ACOSTA: “... Commentators Van Jones and David Urban. Van, to you first. We just heard from the man who’s been nominated to run the Pentagon. What do you make — make of that. What you just heard?”
Jones: “Well, I think, look, I don’t — he looks great, I mean, but he sounds terrible. And I think that if it’s not broke, don’t fix it. There’s this fiction that there’s something wrong with America’s military. What problem are you trying to solve? We have the most lethal, the most respected, the most feared military in the history of the world. There’s not — there isn’t even — there isn’t even number two. And so the idea that our military, there’s something wrong with it, our generals are terrible, this is a fiction. And so when you start trying to solve non-existent problems with the best fighting force in the world, you actually create problems. And I don’t think there’s any evidence or any data that shows that having women involved in military has made our military worse. Where is the evidence of this? This is all fiction, it’s all ideology, and it’s all quite frightening. And, you know — and I — and — and I don’t think anybody can defend this choice. This is not somebody who — I mean, this is a Fox News host who used to be in the military. If that’s the standard we’re going to be going with, I think it’s very alarming.”
