'Flabbergasted': Senator stunned by Pete Hegseth's answer about key alliance

Pete Hegseth's inability to answer basic geopolitical questions left Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) "flabbergasted," she told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Tuesday evening.

This came after a tense confirmation hearing on Capitol Hill before the Senate Armed Services Committee, where Hegseth, the embattled nominee for President-elect Donald Trump's secretary of Defense, was asked by Duckworth to name how many countries are in the Alliance of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN. He proceeded to name three countries that aren't in the alliance.
