Nancy Lacore, the former U.S. Navy admiral who was ousted by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth last year, did not mince words about the leader of the armed forces in a new interview.
Lacore, a Democrat and a retired three-star admiral who served in the military for 35 years before her removal in August 2025, was elected to Congress during last week’s midterm elections. Come January, she will represent South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District after defeating Republican rival Jenny Costa Honeycutt by fewer than 4,000 votes.
The congresswoman-elect was asked Sunday morning on CBS News’ Face the Nation With Margaret Brennan about her thoughts on Hegseth, who has been at the center of impeachment rumors since Democrats’ big election victories last week.
This is a huge win. She’ll be a very valuable player when they impeach him next year.
What you have to remember is MAGA only “supports the troops” who are boot lickers or kiss the ring of the draft dodger in chief.
Anyone who steps out of line or makes a valid point to challenge what they see as wrong is summarily drummed out or fired. So if something doesn’t change soon, we will have nothing but emasculated yes-men running our military (since I think all of the women in command are probably gone now). Having said that, this is indeed promising news and I hope she can make a difference.
defeating Republican rival Jenny Costa Honeycutt by fewer than 4,000 votes.
Disappointing that the margin was even that close.
Trump had won the seat by 13%. It is a very large shift in margin.
There are other places where it was by hundreds.
Depressing, really, but I’ll take any shift to the left and keep pressing for more.
Keep in mind these districts are often gerrymandered out the ass, so a few thousand is a miracle.
Yep. My new district in a county south of Nashville was a Memphis district stretched across literally half the state… it worked, unfortunately, but the problem with gerrymandering is it’s entirely a margins game and it mostly blew up in their faces this time.
Title gore.
Stop making Hegseth seem cool. It would be nothing but awesome to have the US military.
Are you 14 and just found out the US is bad? Because you remind me of when I was 14 and just found out the US is bad
What about the article makes Pete seem cool, in your opinion?
Made the US military worse.
Fair enough. I don’t think they meant it as a cool thing, though
Probably the proficiency at Kegstands and chud tattoos.
Readiness to what? More wars?
Readiness to what?
After all the enemies Trump’s USA has been actively making, there’s bound to be someone eventually decide to attack.
bomb brown people so they learn the bliss of fReeDumb!
