MSNBC commentator Jonathan Capehart: “Scott Bessent is gay? And married? And has children? if he’s confirmed – would be the highest ranking LGBT person ever to serve – to be appointed and confirmed – by the United States Senate… I’m kind of conflicted...”

He is L,G,B, and T? How does he get any work done?

Appointed and confirmed by who for what?

[Dilbert San Diego]

You can see the internal angst Capehart feels.

A good liberal should be thrilled that a homosexual is appointed and confirmed to a high position.

But he has angst because this particular homosexual is being appointed by the hated Trump. Remember we are supposed to think Trump is Hitler and all of that mindset.

[KC_Conspirator]

I heard this nonsense. Capehart has the depth of a 7 year old.

[Carl Vehse]

While one should certainly focus on the professional qualifications of the person nominated for a position in the new Trump Administration, there should be some weight given to the personal moral behavior and character of that individual.

Besides Scott Bessent, questions also have been raised about Pete Hegseth.

[dfwgator]

Just wait until he finds out about Scott Pressler and Richard Grenell.

If Trump appointed Bessent because he is gay, I’d be disappointed. If he’s a Supply side expert who could pull us through the upcoming disaster, I’d be pleased

Straight, gay, trans, rainbow hair, a tackle box on their face, I don’t care as long as they are conservative Maga.

[nwrep]

Is he?

[mairdie]

He sounds competent and ideologically consistent with Trump’s positions. All in all a good choice. Couldn’t care less about his color or choice of a life mate. His business, NOT ours.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Come on! Who cares what he does with his butthole?

--- "Straight, gay, trans, rainbow hair, a tackle box on their face, I don't care as long as they are conservative Maga."

Demonstrating that almost all the screaming racism, sexism, homophobia and all is spewing from the too-deep well called "liberalism."

[mairdie]

Do you really spend time thinking about other people’s sexual activities? People you know as well as people you read about? How do your friends react to that?

[mairdie]

I was assuming sarcasm on your part. If you were truly standing up for the rights of others, then I apologize.

[Mastador1]

Who gives a crap if he is gay, the fact that the left didn’t know means he lives his life low key, like probably the majority, and totally unlike little attention whore Petey Buttjigger. I bet re is something else he is unlike Petey, I bet he is qualified and competent.

[shadeaud]

Why isn’t the left talking about all the women has put up for cabinet positions?

[escapefromboston]

married? lol

[McGavin999]

Yeah, they completely ignore Ric Grinnel who is one of Trumps most trusted advisors

[Kathy in OC]

We have our own Pete Buttigeig. How sweet.
