Rachel Maddow Finds It Hard to Tell Which of Trump’s Fox News Hires Is Doing the Worst Job
"It's got to be a race between Hegseth at the Pentagon and Jeanine Pirro at the D.C. U.S. Attorney's Office," the MS NOW anchor remarks The post Rachel Maddow Finds It Hard to Tell Which of Trump’s Fox News Hires Is Doing the Worst Job appeared first on TheWrap .
Rachel Maddow expressed frustration on Monday about the difficulty in determining which of President Trump's former Fox News personnel is performing the most poorly in his cabinet. She highlighted the Pentagon's recent email requesting suggestions on how to win the war, emphasizing that this move was misguided since the appointee, Pete Hegseth, had a history of heavy drinking.
Maddow criticized Hegseth's decision to dismiss former head of U.S. Cyber Command Gen. Timothy Haugh from his position, arguing that testing military members for testosterone was a less pressing concern than cybersecurity. She further noted that Hegseth's focus on this issue highlighted his lack of expertise in the field. In addition to Hegseth, Maddow deemed U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro the worst-performing former Fox News hire.
She detailed several setbacks for Pirro, beginning with grand juries in Washington refusing to indict individuals she sought prosecution against. Pirro's office had to dismiss nearly a dozen cases just three weeks into her tenure. Federal judges in Washington had rarely overturned cases before, but Pirro's office faced this unprecedented situation.
Pirro's office also dropped a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, which had quickly become absurd. Maddow expressed relief that President Trump called her office's actions "chocking" and "folding like an umbrella."
