Is her name Hegseth? I thought she was the ex wife’s sister.

mikesmolloy.bsky.social•36 days ago

So… he’s a fucking liar? 🤦‍♂️

janalynknittle.bsky.social•36 days ago

Absolutely ZERO integrity! Horrible people.

cfish123.bsky.social•36 days ago

So this jackass knowingly put her safety in jeopardy and then voted for the incompetent, alcoholic, sexual assaulting abuser after all? I'm so surprised. Republican men have zero backbone--they are all cowards who don't represent their constituents.

cherpackard.bsky.social•36 days ago

And yet all they talk about is wanting US men to be more manly…it’s perverse. They are the weakest lot I’ve seen in politics but they all imagine themselves as macho men…bizarre 🤯

websterzcat.bsky.social•36 days ago

NC voters are ready to replace Tillis in 2026. He’s a disgrace.

monsmiller.bsky.social•36 days ago

Yes we are!!

patricks16.bsky.social•36 days ago

A Republican lied? To a woman? I'm SHOCKED!

pmpearson.bsky.social•32 days ago

2026 is coming….

helainethepain.bsky.social•36 days ago

Another kiss ass

ogjojo.bsky.social•36 days ago

He is a republican, therefore, a liar.

MAGA GOP = NO Integrity!

Spineless wimp

Traitorous 🤬🤬🤬!

ahaberlach.bsky.social•36 days ago

Nobody should be trusting the word of anyone purporting to be a Republican.

blaube.bsky.social•36 days ago

Lack of integrity?

ncbludot.bsky.social•36 days ago

Roy should run and unseat is ass. He’d win too

vegavannah.bsky.social•36 days ago

May a new Luigi take form.

johnroxton.bsky.social•36 days ago

You have to hide all the mirrors in your house if you want to be an elected Republican.

quin664.bsky.social•36 days ago

Of course he did. The saddest thing is that she actually believed Tillis would use her testimony or that of any woman. He has one job and one job only these days: protect whatever ignorant racist and misogynist drunk Trump nominates in his rampage of retribution designed to destroy this country.

bslls.bsky.social•36 days ago

No shortage of A-holes in this Congress.

chaddb.bsky.social•36 days ago

What a bastard

rlstrnad.bsky.social•36 days ago

Because Tillis is a weak man who doesn’t keep his word and just falls in line. He has zero scruples and will lose his seat in the next election. If he runs- I am guessing he won’t because he knows he will lose.

elizabetb.bsky.social•35 days ago

Tillis said he searched but could not find anyone to corroborate her statements, so voted Yes.

ksunny.bsky.social•36 days ago

The NC GOP is ridiculously amoral.

realneal.bsky.social•36 days ago

Wow, that’s shitty even for a Republican in Washington.

richkiss1955.bsky.social•36 days ago

Despicable

ljamesnc.bsky.social•36 days ago

Holy shit. Anything that happens to her or to the country as a result of Pete Hegseth’s obvious incompetence is on Thom Tillis. Personally.

Too bad #nc doesn’t allow recall elections.

justdylan.bsky.social•35 days ago

Why is anyone surprised? The GOP are entire entirely subservient to Trump. Dems are only barely any better.

gfats.bsky.social•36 days ago

That’s because he’s a piece of sh*t

matthew3dprints.bsky.social•36 days ago

Senator Tillis is running for reelection in 2026.

jamesdolson.bsky.social•36 days ago

I mean how dumb do you have to be to believe in Tillis's political courage to stand up to Trump?

kaytiebrown.bsky.social•36 days ago

He’s an embarrassment to North Carolina. Nothing but lies. Shame!

callande.bsky.social•36 days ago

Coward

bluememe.bsky.social•36 days ago

Almost as if Republicans are perpetually full of shit.

(Though I’ll never forget what then-Senator Joe Biden did to Anita Hill.)

danadoesdemocracy.bsky.social•36 days ago

Thom Tillis put Danielle Hegseth’s life in danger for no fucking reason!

And our lives ffs!

dmc1234.bsky.social•36 days ago

As did my new Senator, Jim Banks of IN. I asked multiple times why, as a father of three daughters, he was good normalizing abuse of women. Crickets.

olympic52.bsky.social•36 days ago

Jim Banks, the former Rep who was invited to serve on J6C and refused?

dmc1234.bsky.social•36 days ago

The same.

ladydy29.bsky.social•36 days ago

Drunk sexual predator liar now running the pentagon

hapynobody.bsky.social•36 days ago

Tillis is beyond heinous. Don't trust any of them.

globey.bsky.social•36 days ago

To resist their overload they need balls which unfortunately they don't have. He has been playing marbles with them and they can't do anything.

jafedorko.bsky.social•36 days ago

God damn …

houseofgames.bsky.social•36 days ago

reminds me of Biden pretending to protect Anita Hill. They really all show their true colors.

lissaolson99.bsky.social•36 days ago

Unforgivable

mulledwine.bsky.social•36 days ago

Utterly spineless

rudelyvangelder.bsky.social•36 days ago

Trump has successfully short-dicked every GOP member of Congress.

jjarchitect.bsky.social•36 days ago

What a piece of shit

kamprov.bsky.social•36 days ago

They're evil people doing horrible things because they like to do them

scamperton.bsky.social•36 days ago

Seriously, he should fucking fear retribution

sugarhead.bsky.social•36 days ago

He talks a big game, but, you know - someone has to carry the water.

The team knows they can count on him.

linderellabelle.bsky.social•36 days ago

Liars gotta lie.

uncommonsenseshow.bsky.social•35 days ago

Reminder that Thom Tillis has always been a piece of shit and always will be. He's a Dixiecrat who was born too late to have been a Democrat.

tlas-hugged.bsky.social•36 days ago

They have no soul, so no ethics, no character, and no Truth.

timconnorsnj.bsky.social•36 days ago

piledhigherdeeper.bsky.social•36 days ago

What's the world coming to when you can't trust a Republican? /s

olympic52.bsky.social•36 days ago

He is up for re-election in 2 years. Maybe then there will be a strong democrat to run against him. Hope that man will be Ray Cooper, former NC Governor.
