Rep.-elect Lacore still doesn't know why Hegseth fired her from Navy post

“He has caused significant damage to us as a country and put us at risk,” said South Carolina Democrat Nancy Lacore.

Rep.-elect Nancy Lacore, a former military officer, on Sunday issued a sharp rebuke of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

In an interview with CBS’ “Face the Nation,” the South Carolina Democrat called Hegseth the “most unqualified secretary that this nation has seen” and contended she was never told why Hegseth dismissed her from the Navy.

“I was never given a reason when I was removed from my position in August 2025,” said Lacore, who served in the military for 35 years. “I don’t think any of the other generals and admirals were ever given reasons either. And, frankly, at this point, it doesn’t really matter. You know, it opened a door for me to do what I’m doing now and continuing my service in Congress.”

Hegseth fired the three-star vice admiral as chief of the Navy Reserve in August 2025. Then, in January, she announced her congressional bid — for a seat that Republican Rep. Nancy Mace has held for three terms.

Throughout her campaign, Lacore made Hegseth’s leadership a central point in her bid against Republican Jenny Honeycutt. Lacore was declared the winner in the election on Friday.

On Sunday, Lacore said there are “plenty” of reasons to impeach the secretary, though she added that will probably happen before she is sworn into office in January.

“He has caused significant damage to us as a country and put us at risk and really damaged the readiness of our entire military force,” said Lacore. “He is focused on the wrong things. He should be focused on strategy and readiness instead of these things that are down in the trenches.”
