Conservatives on social media praised Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth's performance at his confirmation hearing on Tuesday where the exchanges often became fiery.

"Pete Hegseth is crushing it," Former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer posted on X. "It is refreshing to hear someone relentlessly focus on warriors and lethality, without playing Washington’s word-salad game of forcing nominees to talk like social workers who run government agencies."

"The Senate likes to claim that hearings as serious, deliberative acts of policy making and statesmanship, but many Senate Armed Service Committee Democrats’ behavior during Pete Hegseth’s confirmation hearing on Tuesday revealed the sad truth that most Senate hearings, confirmation or not, are kabuki theater," Bradley Devlin, The Daily Signal politics editor, told Fox News Digital.

"They didn't lay a glove on Hegseth today," CNN political commentator Scott Jennings posted on X. "Why do Dems send their dumbest members to this important committee?"

Interesting coming from a CNN operative. Interesting question. Although those Dems WERE the smartest they have.

(Let Them Win) Why would anyone want that when you can continually lower the standard so all can play and sing kumbya to a Satin character in women’s underwear.
Can’t wait until he shitcans Austin.

 
The GOP is under threat to approve any A-HOLE trump wants.....this is how a dictatorship works and what you magas voted for. Thats why HAGSweth isn't too worried. We are modeled on Russia now....DICKTATOR AND OLIGARCHS.....so good luck to y'all.

What he wasn't asked​

Some experts told the BBC they were most struck by how little Hegseth talked about how he'd handle the job's military complexities.
Aside from brief mentions of China and the war in Ukraine and Russia, senators did not ask Hegseth specifically about current conflicts, and other potential military adversaries and strategic rivals.
Those fundamental issues were mostly "crowded out" by the questions about Hegseth's character and competence, said Mara Karlin, former assistant defence secretary for strategy, plans, and capabilities.
"What's astonishing about the hearing is just how little focus there has been on the bread and butter of what the secretary of defence has to do, which is protect the nation, and ensure you have a military capable of winning conflicts," Karlin said.
Senate Armed Services Committee member Tammy Duckworth was also unimpressed with what Hegseth had to say about military strategy.
"He couldn't answer some of the most basic questions I asked of him," the Democratic Senator from Illinois told the BBC.

On Tuesday, Hegseth mainly went on the offensive, decrying a "coordinated smear campaign" orchestrated by the left-wing media. "They want to destroy me." THE USUAL GOP ANSWER TO ANY WRONG DOING STARTING FROM TRUMP DOWN

But at other times in the hearing, Hegseth responded to questions about his conduct with passionate references to his Christian faith.

"I am not a perfect person, but redemption is real," he said.

Senator Tim Kaine, who sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee, found these statements to be unsatisfactorily contradictory.
Duckworth said that Hegseth could not name a single country that is in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations - "basic questions that any international affairs college student would be able to answer".
"All he did today was reaffirm to me that he's not qualified for this job," she said.

so you're lacking in humanity as well - sad

Who gives a fuck about who did what & when did they did it?

These people are in a dire circumstances regardless of how they got there. They are there now. Help should not be held hostage to political bickering. These are fellow Americans who need help.

Or are so enthalled to the Cult you've decided to be a part of that your humanity comes second to the plight of those who are suffering?

The people, not the GOP have spoken. Trump won the popular vote. Trump won the electoral college. The people won the House. The people won the Senate.
