The problem with your argument is that the opposition has no intention of confirming ANY nominee.

If they can't dig up some dirt, they will manufacture it.

On ANY nominee. Can you understand that?

Well, you aren’t wrong. DeSantis has been floated - but the Left came up with allegations of his having flings with students while he was a teacher (unfortunately Trump himself promoted it for a time when DeSantis was still running in the primary).

They can always make something up.

In this case, though, Hegseth knew this stuff was out there to be brought up. They may be exaggerating it, but it isn’t just made up out of whole cloth.

If he is a repented and changed man as he says, and does not have an alcohol addiction which could affect his job (which can still affect you even if you renounce / repent of drunkenness) then he’s qualified.

I realize also that many of the people who have been previously confirmed to posts are just as bad and worse. the current defense secretary was MIA due to a health issue and no one was told...it would have actually been fine had they just informed and had someone else step in as the acting secretary - zero reason for the secrecy. But that could have been a disaster if a crisis had occurred needing him to make a decision.

The arguments made in this article just don’t really cut it. The headline itself just goes to stereotypes of military men all being completely uncouth and uncivilized people - that’s just not true, and is no defense of Hegseth - if anything it is more unflattering to write something like this supposedly as a defense. With supporters like this, he doesn’t need any detractors.

It’s sad that after all these years, there are weak sisters on this forum that will give up and let the Democrats get away with it.
