Yep, all of the 'RATs and the three RINOs voted against Pete because he thinks NATO is taking advantage of the USA. They just can't say that so they have to go with the dirty tricks.
The problem with Pete Hegseth and many of Trump’s other nominees is that they are not in the pocket of the uniparty and will not undermine Trump from the start.
Now, the uniparty may get to some of them and get them to turn against Trump, but that is a problem to be handled later.
the Nazi tats were not great, but I think the extreme alcoholism and lack of any managerial or leadership experience were also important.
The problem is that he may prove to be too effective at his job, showing up every defense secretary for the last 50 years that they were just rearranging deck chairs.
The “problem”, for Uniparty, is the cabinet positions, not the people.
It is so weird that Democrats, of all people, choose Sexual allegations as their smear vehicle of choice. Everybody knows Dems prefer to engage in any and all sorts of weird sexual fetishes as much as possible. Sex is their very core.
So why would they get upset about a candidate’s sexual escapades and infidelities? Shouldn’t they be celebrating a candidate’s weird or perverse sexual proclivities? Just look at the long line of sexual weirdos they pick to run government.
It is obviously a smear campaign against conservatives and nothing more.
Hirono accused him of making “sexual advances” toward very elderly, little Japanese old ladies from Hawaii.
“So what was the problem with Hegseth?”
Nothing. Turtle, Murkowski and Collins are sickening. Their no vote was a thumb in Trump’s eye. They voted for Austin who was a failed DEI general officer. but not Pete. The left will continue with sex smear tactic against MAGA candidates just to get these three weaklings to switch votes.
I’ve read that Pete paid $50,000 to a woman.
That woman did not testify in front of the Senate under oath to my knowledge. That and the fact that Pete has the ability to charm people pretty much mentally negated the payment.
Look up "uniparty" and "RINO" for an answer to your question.
His alleged problem is that he’s anti-woke. IMO.

“First, the Democrats are the Inner Party. “
Does that mean that Democrats are the Deep State Party?
What was the Real Problem with Pete Hegseth?
He would do what he said what he would do not just show up at work to get the pay check.
That scares the hell out of the twisted hacks it could become a habit in D.C..
He’s not Deep State.
It’s all in his book, War Against Warriors.
I compared Pete Hegseth with another Secretary of Defence when they were first appointed, Donald Rumsfeld.
Similarities:
- Both were young when appointed (Rumsfeld 43, Hegseth 44)
- Both graduated from Princeton in political science (although Rumsfeld took sometimes before finishing his degree)
- Both served in the military (Rumsfeld a pilot in Navy, Hegseth in Army)
- Both serves under a Republican President
Differences:
- Hegseth went to combat (Iraq and Afghanistan). Rumsfeld served during the cold war, so never in combat
- Hegseth went on to get a Master’s degree in Harvard
- Rumsfeld was in politics and government before appointed as SoD (a Congressman, cabinet member and ambassador under Nixon)
- Hegseth wrote books and later commentator for Fox News Channel
It’s all Ukraine. At a minimum Hegseth has an open mind on the issue and is willing to find out what REALLY has happened there.
And that scares the hell out of those implicated.
