So, colleagues at the Fox hole were worried how this guy's drinking was affecting his job. But, only 6 Repubican senators are expressing some concern? What could possibly go wrong if this guy is in control of the Dept. Of Defense. The possibilities are staggering.

So the drinking bothers Fox, but the raping is just fine 🙄.

This guy has some serious mental health issues. Maybe from war, maybe from PTSD, maybe from childhood, who knows. He's neither qualified nor stable enough for the position he's nominated for. It's dangerous to put him there. @wyden.senate.gov , @ugarles.bsky.social, @fetterman.senate.gov

Only the best people.

The reason this is all so infuriating is because even if Hegseth were a saint — and he’s obviously miles from it — he’d still be monumental unqualified to run the DOD by any traditional measure.

2/ "Two of those people said that ON MORE THAN A DOZEN OCCASIONS during Hegseth’s time as a co-host of 'Fox & Friends Weekend,' which began in 2017, they smelled alcohol on him before he went on air."

Was he partying with Jeanine Pirro?

3/ "Three current employees said that his drinking remained a concern up until Trump announced him as his choice to run the Pentagon."

"One current and two former Fox employees said they felt like they needed to 'babysit' Hegseth due to his drinking and late nights."

dude is gonna have a blast at the Pentagon

He won’t get confirmed. He’s going to either drop out of consideration or have all his trash laid out in public & be humiliated & at least 10 Republican senators will reject him along with every Democratic senator.

cruxothebiscuit.bsky.social•99 days ago

you have higher expectations than i.

lisamikolajczyk.bsky.social•99 days ago

Word is that at least 6 Republican senators have said they will vote NO on his confirmation if he doesn’t drop out.
He can only afford to lose 3 Republican Senate votes.

I really want #DrinkyPete to catch on!

#RapeyPete would be better.

The judges will accept both! 😹😹

10! Think about that. If 10 of your colleagues all got together to complain about your behavior... any 10... you'd be sunk. We'd all be, except for team Trump folks.
