While Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was appearing before a U.S. Senate committee, U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) was ignorantly ranting about the names of military bases.

It is not clear whether the senator who served at Fort Rucker knew the name change fully complied with the law requiring that no Confederate names be used.

Duckworth’s rant is just silly virtue signaling, as most former enlisted prefer the original names, not the Biden rebrand.
