Hegseth refused to respond to how his past behavior and the allegations against him impact his qualifications for Defense Secretary.
Imagine if any other American refused to answer that question in a job interview.

START with 'Republicans have no shame' instead of concluding with it.
Please tell us what specific actions you will take to oppose this.
If you do we will rally behind you.
If you don’t you’ll just get laughed at.
Also what about my Senator Fetterman visiting the rapist in FL before these hearings start? Any committee consequences for Senators kissing th ring?
Imagine you & other members of Congress DENYING his confirmation because he isn't qualified & he's dangerous. You're supposed to work for citizens. Instead you allow rapists, bigots & racists in our government. Do what's right for once! Stop the performative whining.
Are you voting to confirm them?
Also, he conflated the Jerusalem Cross tat with the Des Vult tat, which is much more problematic.
Hegseth is an alcoholic and a rapist. When Dems asked him about it he dodged those questions. America deserves better. I'm voting no.
if my Republican colleagues value loyalty to Trump over protecting America, they own whatever comes next.
"I've worked in politics since I was a young man, and I'm always so proud to see the next generation of bright young men and women looking to make their mark in public service. Pete Hegeseth saw those kids—and he preyed on them."
Pete Hegseth is a Christo-Fascist
I care that he’s likely to turn the next campus protest into another Kent State.
Oh, and he’s a Christian fascist, so he’ll probably institute mandatory weekly prayer meetings for all soldiers where he can rail against feminism.
“Papa Pete Speaks”
It’s almost cute how you think Decorum is somehow worth anything anymore.
It doesn’t futhermucking matter, Chuck. Never did, but there was an agreement to pretend.
Not anymore.
They have power and they’ll shove that in our faces every day.
Dems made this bed, now you get to sleep in it.
Maybe stop complaining...to us?
OR...explain exactly what we need to do to help you. EXACTLY.
We are here to help, if helping will actually help.
Stop being weird and tell us what you need.
So unfit, so unqualified. Do more to stop the disaster of Trump and his cabinet of horrors. Take off the gloves, Chuck, before it's too late.

SOMETHING
Jesus fucking Christ
Such a shame
His name is Brett M. Kavanaugh.
Y'all need to watch Tammy D. Don't play the scandal game, show he's unqualified. She was masterful.
You know, like their jobs.
Stop being a fucking ninny, Chuck. The gloves came off eight years ago. Get with the program or get out of the fucking way.
BACKBONE
We have to imagine because - *crickets* from Democratic Senators.
“It’s your own words”
It’s really not hard to respond.
Imagine...
Wait, what is your job?
Play another way or we are effed out here- welcome the McCarthyism and your not stopping it
The DOJ memo not holding acting presidents accountable for their actions puts the president above the law.
You're among those who are allegedly there to stop this all from happening.
Do your goddamn job.
What can we do about this?
We already vote, donate, reach out to your office (where we're lucky to leave a voicemail, BTW).
If we can't stop the confirmation, what can we do to make it hurt the GOP?
"Hegseth is a rapist and a drunk.
He hasn't washed his hands for ten years.
He was kicked out of the Reserves.
The one time he was a boss, he ran that group into the ground.
He is unfit."
ACTION NOT WORDS
Give the guy a break please.
WE are so fucked
Jeebus.
Nobody elected you to whine on social media.
BTW, eggs are $8 a dozen because I know you don't have a clue about grocery prices either.
Each member of the committee should focus/ drill down on an area of questioning/concern.
Don’t rush thru - make them answer the questions.
Each Senator asking the same 10 second soundbite questions does nothing.
