DEFENSE Secretary Nominee - Pete #Hegseth HEARING
Each time #Hegseth was questioned by Dem senators, it was like watching a kindergarten assistant sit through an interview for secretary of education. He's revved up to follow Trump's agenda. This is man is not fully cooked. Unable. Unfit. Unsafe.

Though you’re not entirely wrong, generalizations will get you into trouble. That’s what MAGA does. I’d argue it’s more of a human problem.

Well, to be honest, Tammy Duckworth is a role model for women everywhere on any given day. But that she's roasting a neo Nazi pretender to office is just an added bonus.

Pete Hegseth's FBI background check doesn't include interviews with key women from his past: The report doesn't offer material from Hegseth's ex-wives or a woman who accused him of sexual assault in 2017.

It appears Trump/GOP have threatened the Republican senators who were opposing Pete Hegseth confirmation with running opposing candidates against them. Sen Joni Ernst (R) will now support Pete H. She also refused to meet with the sexual assaults accuser of Pete H. This kept her name anonymous.
