Senate Hearing: Elizabeth Warren Questions Mr. Tata on Military Loyalty and Political Neutrality

Published | Video Starts at 05:19

Evidently, you have no information individually about the generals, the admirals and the members of our National Guard and DoD who serve this country, and yet you're willing to say that they all need to be fired or treated as traitors. You seem to think that if a general or admiral was promoted during a Democratic administration, that person should be automatically fired. That's just a political purge and a pretty standard move for a dictatorship. I think it disqualifies you for this office. Thank you. Thank you. (05:19–05:30)
