Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough harshly criticized Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's leadership amid mounting reports of mistreatment towards long-deployed U.S. sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. The military personnel have been subject to subpar conditions, including extended deployments, food shortages, contaminated water, moldy showers, and dwindling hygiene supplies.
The situation has been further exacerbated by reports of sailors attempting or completing suicide jumps overboard. Scarborough accused the Department of Defense of prioritizing social issues over military readiness and basic necessities, stating that the sailors are being treated as "third-class citizens" and "trash." He also questioned Hegseth's continued presence in the Trump administration, given his history of causing problems.
