The stupidity of Donald Trump’s cabinet nominations was on full display when Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth was grilled during a Senate confirmation hearing Tuesday.
Here’s a guy who says he will be a “change agent” and “warrior” if confirmed, but in the meantime dodged easy questions about his lack of experience, excessive drinking and sexual misconduct, which clearly make him unfit to serve.
When asked about those issues, Hegseth bobbed and weaved, saying those charges were based on anonymous, false claims.
If confirmed Hegseth will lead our men and women in uniform. And if they were ever caught doing the stuff this dude is accused of, they’d be kicked out of the military.
It’s no surprise that the incoming “Grab them by the pussy” President stands by him. Hegseth paid off a woman he had extra marital sex with to keep her quiet, just like Trump. They have a lot in common.
But do we want someone with nearly zero executive experience and shady moral standards to lead our nation’s military and be responsible for the defense of our nation?
Obviously, not.
What’s important to Trump is that he has a “yes man” in place in every major sector of our government as he seeks to create his own version of autocracy.
And Republicans appear to be ready to hand him exactly that, asking Hegseth such tough questions as How many pushups can you do?
Really? That’s the standard needed to be met by the Secretary of Defense? Come on.
