Gomez: Do you know whether Pete Hegseth had been drinking before he leaked classified information?
Gabbard: I don’t have any knowledge of his personal habits.
Ratcliffe: That’s an offensive line of questioning

It's not offensive when the Secretary has a history of substance abuse and it was such a real fear going in that he had to promise he was going to quit.
Answer the damn question. Cuz good chance Hegseth was hammered.
Maybe he’s not cut out for this job.
Tough shit.
Hypothetically, SECDEF gets drunk at Pentagon party. Drives himself home. No one is harmed. Is that a success?
Hegseth professed himself his drinking
problems.
Espically when he stated he would quit drinking if he got the DOD job.
Those of us that know AA, know the drill...
He has a history of being a drunk, so why wouldn’t the question be asked?
He literally drunk texted classified information
His job is the home of America and so far its being trashed - by the group!
That makes ANY question acceptable!

Rat_climb: That's an offensive line of sniffing it!
Garbage: Anyway I will appeal on the 5.5.alcoholmendment
"I DON"T RECALL"
Rat_climb: I will pursue the same scotch of action:
"I DON"T RECALL"
Gomez: Shame Scotch on you!
Question was offensive because it was a little to on the nose!
Calling his exclusion from the Houthi bombing chat “hurtful,” he said, “I shouldn’t have to read about it in The Atlantic.”
If someone can't be offensive ?
Promoted to the position for their loyalty to Trump not their ability
Hegsuth was always unqualified and always a risk.
Everyone should be asking about his drinking. It’s totally germane.

Demand an independent prosecutor investigate everyone involved in the National Security breach. Demand their resignations for endangering Americans. There must be consequences.
Why are we so shocked of the major security fuck up by these incompetent trumpers?
All those Republican assholes who confirmed each and everyone of these fucking losers have blood on their hands.
We were all screaming at the top of our lungs to have them thrown out.
GOOD LUCK!
"Is that a 'yes'"?
"Listen here you Russian spy and dishonorable, lying piece of treasonous shit. You fucked up and I will see you cracking rocks in Leavenworth for this. "
We need more Americans to stand up like you did.
You have to Admit, He has the Perfect Name (Rat).
we are NOT the same....
Not when Hegseth has a history of drunkenness & alcoholism and has yet to accept & acknowledge the fact he has a problem
100% Legit question
He promised never to get caught again and seeing as how he and the entire administration let's say have a truth adjacent approach this seems accurate.
Didn't slur his words
But I damn sure guarantee there was a nice, chilled bottle of Crown waiting for him on that plane
"functional" ...
... is something we can debate
Or whatever time he’s actually able to stand up
(and then they lie about it)
