Instead of praising the daring US military operation, O'Donnell spent a portion of his segment denouncing Hegseth as offensive to women.
O'Donnell criticized Hegseth for not including the word "women" in his White House press conference, claiming the phrase was insulting because the crew member may not have been male.
Hegseth had stated in his remarks, "God is good. Despite incoming fire and unforgiving conditions, our troops brought every American home. No American lives were lost. We leave no man behind - and that is not luck. It's the result of unmatched training, superior technology, and unbreakable warrior ethos."
Instead of praising the daring US military operation, O'Donnell spent a portion of his segment denouncing Hegseth as offensive to women. "That could have been a woman they were trying to rescue," he argued, suggesting Hegseth's wording was not inclusive and reflected outdated language. However, the host acknowledged that the phrase referenced "a longstanding military rule of never leaving anyone behind."
A clip of the segment was shared on social media, which generated widespread mockery from conservatives. "They can't even define a woman," one user wrote on X.
Another user added, "Always searching for something, anything to criticize. And if there is nothing, no problem - they'll just make cr*p up."
"What an idiot. Seriously, how do these ideologically captured tools feed themselves?" another user chimed in.
The US fighter jet crew member was rescued on Easter morning after being trapped in Iran for a period of several days. His F-15 fighter jet was downed by a missile in Iranian territory on Friday, prompting the rescue of two crew members. The pilot of the jet was located almost immediately following the attack.
