Dems’ attacks on the intelligent, articulate, and patriotic Pete Hegseth show why they lost – a salute to Trump’s defense secretary pick
NY Post ^ | 11/13/24 | Miranda Devine

The elitist attacks on Donald Trump’s defense secretary pick Pete Hegseth show exactly why Democrats lost the election in a landslide.

Intelligent, articulate, patriotic, a graduate of Princeton and Harvard, a combat veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, with two Bronze Stars, Hegseth, 44, is an inspired choice to lead the Pentagon and rid it of the woke poison that has sent recruitment levels down the toilet.

Not only that, but he has a tattoo of “We the People” on his arm, a visible sign of his America First commitment to the Constitution, whose first words remind us that America at its founding rejected rule by elites.

And yet, because Hegseth most recently has been a popular Fox News host, the liberal intelligentsia is accusing him of being stupid and unqualified.

He’s a lot better qualified to run the Defense Department than Kamala Harris ever was to be commander in chief.

Of course, after Trump announced Wednesday that firebrand MAGA-bro Rep. Matt Gaetz was his attorney general pick, the left completely lost its mind.

But they asked for it.

With Gaetz, an articulate and fearless pit-bull congressman from Florida, Trump is signaling that it’s no more Mr. Nice Guy in his second term, when it comes to the corrupted Department of Justice that conducted lawfare against him and his allies, ran cover for the Biden family’s corruption, sicced the FBI onto parents at school-board meetings and Christians praying outside abortion clinics, and treated non-violent Jan. 6 protesters like domestic terrorists.

Pete is a great pick! The fact it’s driving the left nuts is bonus.

From what I’ve read, he earned 6 commendations and retired as a Major.

If they've read Pete's book, The War on Warriors, they knows he's going to amputate the gangrenous rot of Woke, DEI, CRT from the military. And this means firing many, many powerful general officers and civilians.

As Pete says, the military was the last part of the federal government to fall to Marxism. Once the Left infected the military with its disease, they will have won.

Pete is going to gut the military, and the Democrats know it.

Even if Gaetz were every bit as bad as the Democrats claim he will be at weaponizing the DOJ to go after the Trump administration’s political opponents.....that would only be payback for what the Biden administration and even the corrupt holdovers from the Obama administration did the last 16 years.

I saw clips of the MSM commenting on the Hegseth appointment last night.

Insane. They ONLY comment on his TV presence, and make childish derisive faces when speaking about it, including eye rolling. Nothing about his Ivy League schools or impressive time and leadership in the military.

They just need to KEEP IT UP. It’s why the RATs lost so spectacularly last week. Keep lying.

Great ad at this link...

The Next 4 Years Are Going To Be A ******* Blast

NSFW headline, no profanity in the ad.

X won't let me post the link from there for some strange reason.

But enjoy and share the ad.

Deep State has good reason to be terrified.

Swing away, Mr. President!

I agree. But he has to first be approved by the Senate, and I don't think they will.

I thought he was too young and green...and then I bought his book the other night (Audible). Read a little bit of his book (or just the reviews of it) and rethink that.

When Senators and the American public listen to him in his confirmation hearing and learn what's going on in the military, there will be a massive uproar.

It isn’t payback; it is justice!

They hated Patton, for the same reasons they hate Hegseth.

Defense has been democrats number one target for years every element of America must be broken to the lowest level to make government change.

It’s why the democrats like long and costly ways one more wy to brake Americas back.

Ukraine and billions with zero gain is the name of the game.
