We are shocked!
The normally august Audie Cornish didn't go full Scarborough—someone known to drop f-bombs.
Still, it was surprising to hear Cornish, the mannerly host of CNN This Morning, utter something out of character today.
Mike Dubke, who served as White House Communications Director for three months during the first Trump term, suggested that one thing protecting Pete Hegseth from being fired is the difficulty that would be involved in the confirmation process for a replacement.
Responded Cornish:
"So, this is not a military term, but you're saying they're SOL. Basically, there's no other options out there."

The real reason they are after him is that he is clearing out the Obama generals (the deep state).
That's the real story...Democrat obstruction.
If they succeed in Watergating Hegseth, Trump impeachment for war crimes will be next and the United Nations will pile on and Trump will be driven from office, prosecuted and imprisoned or executed.
Hegseth did nothing other than obey Trump’s orders. Trump must not allow the Deep State to destroy Hegseth.
Fired for WHAT? I don’t give a shit if they hit these boats 2, 3 or 4 times to kill them all. And let a parent of an overdosed kid push the damn button!
Why should he be fired.
I view this as GOOD news. I guess we’ll just have to keep Pete in this case.
After 40 years of whacking every moose-limb in the sights of their Reaper drones (and quite a few innocent bystanders as well), the Rats have now decided killing terrorists is a scandal.
You can’t hate these people enough.
who cares what ANYBODY sez on CNN unless it’s Scott Jennings ... all of the rest are liars, leftist propagandists, and/or TDS provocateurs ...
The foreign and domestic enemies are America are right at home in the DemocRAT Party.
I think theyll have a really tough time getting him out. Trump has got his back it seems. More obstructionism from the left. The same clowns trying to remove him were fine with drone strikes all over Yemen.
CNN inventing controversy out of thin air is an old story here, its way past the sale that Hegseth would be replaced.
Color revolution in progress.
The states that have successfully resisted a color revolution (Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Hungary - have not been gentle with the insurrectionists.
Your screen name is wrong. Only state power is sufficient to the task at hand. Governing least means successful communist revolution.
I want my US Navy, that I pay good money for, to hit these bastards as often as necessary, with whatever weapons are necessary. I pay people with titles like Captain, and Admiral, and Secretary of War, and President, to decide what constitutes "necessary". I don't pay them to pussyfoot around.
Because he is doing a great job and has the Democrats in fear of him, which means, to me at least, that the cartels are filtering money to them. BOMB, PETE, BOMB.
Well ... he's very good at protecting the interests of these United States. To democRats, that's a damning statement.
Obama killed Americans overseas.
They would soooo love to get rid of Pete. Tough toenails! It’s not their call.
