In his first sit-down interview since announcing his retirement, Republican Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina spoke with CNN on Monday night, sharply criticizing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over his latest controversy. Hegseth reportedly halted weapons shipments to Ukraine without authorization from President Trump and against the advice of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

“With the passing of time, I think it’s clear he’s out of his depth as a manager of a large, complex organization,” Tillis said.
