It’s called propaganda. Create panic where there isn’t to hide the real risks &dangers at play in order to get away with murder. It’s not even new tactic, it’s literally employed by every single totalitarian state in the world& history as well as every psychopath, narcissists ®ular Joe abuser.
Just speculation, but even a few Republicans in the Senate are gonna have issues with this guy’s thin resume. (And some semi bizarre infomercials) Plus at 44 he’s on marriage #3. He got #3 pregnant while still married to #2. Skeletons in the closet? Who knows?
My daughter and soon-to-be son-in-law both proudly serve America in the Navy/Marines. I’ve written my senators and representative and members of both the House & Senate armed services committees expressing my fear and anger over this nomination. They/we deserve better leadership.
In this case probably lots of Republicans even agree, but they’re mostly geldings these days so they won’t say a word. Some serious Democrats on Armed Services, and they’ll make a stink. The Republicans on that committee don’t look too promising.
i ask anyone serious…WHO out of the current nominees is even remotely close to being a serious person? (and people like little marco don’t count just because they happen to be in the senate - just look at who the republicans have in the house)
