Dunce at the heart of Signalgate keeps failing upward
Mike Waltz has returned from the shadows of Signalgate to try his hand at a nomination for U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, and the hearing is just as spicy as you’d imagine.
The former national security adviser, who managed to include the editor-in-chief of the Atlantic in an unsecured group chat discussing war plans, was grilled across the board Tuesday, for his missteps of handling classified information.
“I have no questions for you, sir,” Sen. Cory Booker said, adding that Waltz showed “profound cowardice” for not taking responsibility for his failures around Signalgate.
“I have nothing but deep disappointment in what I consider a failure of leadership on your part.”
Sen. Cory Booker to Mike Waltz: "You were involved in the sharing of sensative information about imminent military operations...You said [Jeffrey Goldberg] intentionally infiltrated your Signal chain. You said that he was 'sucked in.'...It shows profound cowardice."
