MAGA influencer Steve Bannon and Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) suggested that Democrats had named too many women senators to the Armed Services Committee.
As Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was testifying before the Senate Finance Committee on Wednesday, Tuberville accused Democrats of orchestrating an attack on Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth at an earlier Armed Services hearing.
"You can tell Pete Hegseth, all orchestrated," Tuberville opined.
Bannon noted that Democratic "harridans" — a derogatory term for older women — on the Armed Services Committee did not ask Hegseth the same type of questions that Secretary of State Marco Rubio was asked.
"They're tacking him on the personal foibles all day long," the former adviser to President Donald Trump complained. "And it was mostly the ladies on the armed services that went after him personally."
"Why does the Democrats have nine women, it seemed like, on, why they have all the women on armed services?" he continued. "What is that about?"
"I couldn't tell you, but they do," Tuberville agreed. "They've got a lot more than we have."
"Does that strike you as a little odd?" Bannon asked.
"Well, yeah," Tuberville agreed before noting that Sens. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) had served in the military.

"It was just a personal attack," he said of the question to Hegseth. "You know, they wanted to make a point of, can he do this job with all the personal problems that he has?"
Hegseth has denied that he raped a woman while working as a Fox News host in 2017. Law enforcement officials later said he was not prosecuted because there was no evidence beyond a reasonable doubt.
