(Sam Barron – Newsmax) Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to be secretary of defense, is now open to women serving in combat and gays in the military.
Hegseth’s reversals come as he attempts to win support from Republican senators amid allegations of alcoholism, financial mismanagement, and sexual misconduct, claims he has denied.
He previously called allowing gays and transgender people to serve in the military part of a “Marxist” agenda but said Thursday he thought gays should serve in the military, Politico reported.
He also previously said women should not serve in combat, but moderate Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, told reporters Hegseth backpedaled on his previous opposition to women in combat in their meeting this week.
