Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) is calling out Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who recently refused on national television to acknowledge Russia as the aggressor in the Ukraine war — but openly did just that during his former tenure as a Fox News host.

“I don’t need to get into the characterization of we know who invaded who,” Hegseth said Sunday during an appearance on Fox News. “We understand the stakes of this game … Does all the finger-pointing and pearl-clutching make peace more likely?”

Duckworth, who held Hegseth’s feet to the fire during his confirmation hearing last month, took to X on Wednesday with images of him hosting a Fox News segment in March 2022 — under the clear-cut chyron “Tracking Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine.”

“Hegseth says he doesn’t know if Russia invaded Ukraine,” she wrote. “This you?”

The defense secretary’s blatant about-face has certainly raised eyebrows on social media, as Hegseth seems to be taking his lead from President Donald Trump, who said last week that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy “should have never started” the war.

Hegseth himself made an impassioned plea in March 2022 for the U.S. to more fastidiously support Ukraine against Russian aggression, one month after Russian President Vladimir Putin led the invasion.

“What’s at stake is repelling an authoritarian who basically is saying I want the Soviet Union back, I want Ukraine back, I want Kyiv back,” Hegseth said on Fox News at the time, before urging then-President Joe Biden to act quickly regarding Ukraine military aid.

Trump brazenly confirmed earlier this month that he’s only interested in helping Ukraine if the U.S. gains access to the country’s rare earth minerals, per The Associated Press. He was previously accused of winning the 2016 presidential election with help from the Kremlin.

On Monday, the U.S. voted with North Korea, Belarus and Sudan against a United Nations General Assembly resolution condemning Russia’s invasion. The Trump administration thus diverged from traditional U.S. allies in the matter, including the U.K., Germany and France.

Hegseth’s glaring reversal on Russia, meanwhile, spawned genuine outrage on social media from voters who are still baffled that Trump appointed a former Fox News host as his defense secretary — and made “Kash’s Corner” podcast host Kash Patel his FBI director.

“I can’t believe we have a gameshow host running the country, a fox news anchor running the military, and now an extremist podcaster helping direct the FBI,” one user wrote Wednesday in response to Duckworth’s post. “Absolute joke of a country.”
