Letters to the Editor: Please, Congress, don’t wilt under Trump’s pressure before he’s president
LA TimesPete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for secretary of defense, speaks with reporters at the U.S. Capitol on Nov. 21. To the editor: I am 82 years old and have always thought elected officials served their constituents interests’ first and the entire United States ultimately. To the editor: The “fair and balanced” Associated Press article you published on President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks contains the following astonishing statement: “Hegseth, a Fox News host and veteran whom some see as inexperienced.” If Pete Hegseth met with senators wearing no shoes and socks, would you report that some saw the Defense secretary nominee as barefoot? Many of us, myself included, fear the imminent death of independent journalism as a major component of our country’s descent into autocracy.
