Sen. Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn., a prominent ally of Donald Trump, said voters don't care who conducts background checks into the president-elect's Cabinet picks and that Trump would fire members of his administration who don't follow the policy he sets out.

In an interview with "This Week" co-anchor Jonathan Karl, Hagerty lambasted the records of some of President Joe Biden's Cabinet members and insisted that Trump will command compliance from top members of his upcoming administration.

Name-checking Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin for the bloody withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, Hagerty said, “They've not been held to account.”
