Far-left Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), often referred to as “Pocahontas,” made a humiliating error Wednesday while trying to argue that decorated military veteran and former Fox News host Pete Hegseth was unfit to serve as Secretary of Defense (DOD).
As TGP readers know, President-elect Donald Trump selected Hegseth to lead the DOD last month. He cited Hegseth’s stellar America First credentials and decorated service as an army combat veteran.
Despite this, sick leftists and the drive-by media have orchestrated a horrific smear campaign portraying Hegseth as a drunkard and sexual predator. Warren, one of Hegseth’s staunchest critics, gave credence to the later smear as she cited disturbing statistics on her X account claiming that nearly 30,000 soldiers, including over 6% of women, were sexually assaulted in the military last year.
Due to this, she concluded that Hegseth had no business serving as Defense Secretary.
“In 2023, over 29,000 active-duty troops were sexually assaulted, including more than 6 in every 100 women in the military,” Warren wrote. “Many servicemembers never report these crimes. The rates of assault are estimated to be up to 4x higher.”
“Pete Hegseth must not be the Defense Secretary,” she concluded.

These are damning stats indeed and would be disqualifying if Hegseth had anything to do with it. But alert X users noticed a huge problem: Warren was referencing sexual assaults that occurred in the military under Biden and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s watch.

What a ignorant squaw.
Lie-awatha speak with forked tongue.
F EW...no forget that. RIH EW.
I prefer Fauxcahontas.
And the media whore are saying Hegsmith is a raging drunk because he drank beer on St Paddy’s Day.

Uh oh! Princess Gray Beaver did it again!
“In 2023, over 29,000 active-duty troops were sexually assaulted, including more than 6 in every 100 women in the military....The rates of assault are estimated to be up to 4x higher.”
The rape rate may be 24%, a year.
If you can’t defend yourself, the military needs someone else.
Senator Collins has insisted on nominee hearings.
Perhaps Pete’s accuser could be invited to testify.
There was a Breitbart(?) article that was favorable to Pete.
One hears a lot from Liz before an election, but not much afterward.
Me, too. Or Liawatha.
Poco really gonna be on warpath after DOGE kills her CFPB baby
Psychojawea is my favorite.
Advise and consent is a ridiculous idea in this day and age. I bet a majority of Democrats have voted for less than a majority of Trump political nominees. That says it all to me. It’s another way to thwart the will of the people.
Austin looks like an AFRICAN POTENTATE in that stupid picture!!
I can’t believe they made Marines wear that crap. They were all v@xxed, right?
I love the comments she got blasted with! She’s just another dumb twit with undeserved power.
iirc, it’s been reported that a majority of the sexual assault allegations in the MIL are same sex
