Tammy Duckworth is just killing Hegseth.
Gets him to admit he has never done internationals security arrangements. Doesn't know what SecDef has to do on same.
She asks him to name ASEAN countries and significance of them. He names a bunch of countries that aren't part of ASEAN.

Typical subpar white man thinks he should be given a job cause he wants it
The three he said were “South Korea… Japan… Australia.”
He doesn’t have an idea what ASEAN is. If he did, he would’ve guessed SE Asian countries at the very least.
Because people like him think Asian = Chinese and Japanese
So he doesn't even know what the S or A stand for (Southeast and Asian).
Note, Thailand, where Duckworth was born, IS a key US ASEAN ally, as anyone who knows fuckall about the Vietnam war would know.
This is how it’s done:
As citizen of Illinois, I swear I will vote for her every time.
Contempt
Her question was simple. Would you refuse to carry out an illegal order.
He cried like a little pig and didn't answer the question at all. Already a disgrace.
This could, honestly, be on e of the most unqualified cabinets in history
Anything Congress does from here out is just a ceremonial performance.
Dictatorship has arrived.
Putin and Xi must be absolutely pissing themselves laughing right now.
They’re just going to show the world how far America has fallen putting rapists pedophiles felons in highest offices and the cntry simply watches
PATHETIC
he must be seething.
Hirano from Hawaii is not helping the Dems though. Invading Greenland? Really?
Par for the course
ASEAN is comprised of Indonesia, Vietnam, Laos, Brunei, Thailand, Myanmar, the Philippines, Cambodia, Singapore and Malaysia.

But that will not make any difference. The GOP is hell bent on getting every single nom confirmed.
And I am willing to bet, he will.
Three weaker GOP senators(Collins,etc.) would vote against them, great. But from what I've heard, they are voting for them all.
Shameful.
Singapore is a major shipping chokepoint like Suez, and the Chinese PLA Navy is making progress in Cambodia.
S: "Do you agree that there are some orders that can be given by the commander in chief that would violate the U.S. Constitution?"
H: "I reject the premise that President Trump is going to be giving illegal orders."
Didn't answer the question, but at least he is on record!
korea
japan...
i lost consciousness for a few secs after that
🧐😳
It happened, he’s elected.
Those who claim to support meritocracy certainly don't care about the merits of those they support.
That will never work out just from watching him talk over senators.
I suspect if confirmed, some General will beat him to death in the hallways of the Pentagon for being an idiot.
Plus she's from Thailand...one of the member states of ASEAN 😜
He is 1000% not qualified.
The Felon's Boy!
The fact that this guy is an imbecile who doesn't even know geography was a precious moment. She showed how unprepared he is for this role.
We need to take these arrogant assholes down
trump is literally just picking nominees off of the tv but no surprise.
These people & Trump sound like a kid trying to justify their bad behavior.
(Maybe I post about wine a lot. My iPad kept trying to autocorrect to “Duckhorn.”)
Why do we even have to mention misogyny?
