Reposted from Katie Phang

Sen. Slotkin asking Hegseth if there is ever an illegal order that could come from the Commander-in-Chief & if he’d refuse to comply, and Hegseth refuses to answer the question.

Because Republicans no longer respect the Constitution. They are set to create a new fascist state.

Why would he care about the constitution?
He's a Christian who doesn't follow the ten commandments.

I think the likelihood of Trump using the military against civilians in blue states is not low. Hegseth would be glad to be a part of that.

keff1166.bsky.social•135 days ago

Interesting since not following illegal orders was part of his duty as a US Army officer.

I literally just had a debate/argument with my husband over this topic. (There were other things that too that had my blood boiling from watching this) My husband, who is a vet, sad to say, is a felon47 bootlicker. I can't deny it anymore, and it makes me sick.

I remember when members of Congress (esp. senators) were fiercely jealous of their institutions and prerogatives and would no more be pushed around by a president than fly coach or drive themselves into work.

Back when having a conscience and a spine was a requirement.

Sounds like Hegseth will blindly follow orders from Trump. That's until DJT tells him to step in front of a speeding bus. He might decline to follow that one!

gipsegrlpatti.bsky.social•135 days ago

This is what they want. They want this guy in because he is a party loyalist. He's going to purge the military of anybody that's not that. And once they have that they're going to say a big f*** you to the Constitution, and then they're going to keep Trump in office.

gipsegrlpatti.bsky.social•135 days ago

The only way a military coup is ever going to be successful in this country is if the military also defects. This is the way they do it. This has been their plan from day one. Make no mistake about this. Putting this idiot in charge of the dod has everything to do with the long game and

gipsegrlpatti.bsky.social•135 days ago

Nothing to do with his qualifications. You need a standing military that is going to act on a legal orders. When Trump uses the military against its own citizenry the coup will be complete.

That the Constitution will be ignored is already established. It is #disqualifying of Rump along with everything else he does in politics. He, they, are insurrectionists.

bklynnative.bsky.social•135 days ago

He’ll be a laughing stock for a while. D’s can use footage in pol ads.

brunopara.bsky.social•135 days ago

Screw the Constitution seems to be the guiding principle of this new Trump administration

vaanhold.bsky.social•135 days ago

I guess Hegseth believes that if Trump is immune, so are his orders and the people who act upon them.

thekbexperience.bsky.social•135 days ago

Hegseth has earned 0 respect and deserves even less

You mean a few years on Fox's big curvy couch of lies isn't an adequate pedigree for the U.S. Secretary of Defense?

I will expect GOP senators to do the right (constitutionally correct) thing. Those words are the only ones I will speak or write. Words matter. Speak that which you want to see come to pass. If it doesn't we regroup at that time.

cobaloxime.bsky.social•135 days ago

I hate to say this but the US is rapidly becoming a criminal organisation. I guess that’s what happens when you elect a felon as president. But I am surprised at just how complicit the entire Republican Party and media have become. Shameful.

Joe Walsh is going through the Five Stages of Grief. Thoughts and prayers.

The convicted felon demands loyalty. Just as he said, he wants loyalty like Hitler demanded. But remember Hitlers own generals eventually turned on him. In the meantime we are all fucked. Democracy dies in less than a week.
Spineless GQP.

Too bad they can’t do a secret ballot vote.

Seems to me that he didn't ANSWER half the actual QUESTIONS! Just tried to half assed get his BS on screen! Appears NO qualifications for THIS position!

I just hope there are some staff with the courage and smarts to provide a few guardrails until 2028.

His answer boiling down to “The Donald Trump I know would never give me such an order”, was hilarious. Should we ask Mike Pence about that?

kton11.bsky.social•135 days ago

Every yes vote for this scum will regret it when this country goes full dictatorship and people are killed by the US military for no reason.
