“Zero” Senate Republicans are opposing Pete Hegseth’s confirmation, sources told The Post on Wednesday, as the defense secretary-designee was making the rounds on Capitol Hill and defiantly proclaiming he will “never back down” in the face of widespread allegations of past misconduct.
“There are zero ‘nos’ right now,” one GOP source familiar with the matter said, ripping smears against the former Army combat infantryman in the press as “BS.”
At least six Republicans have privately expressed reservations about President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee, NBC News reported Tuesday, as claims of binge drinking, sexual impropriety and financial mismanagement during his tenure as leader of a veterans advocacy group pile up.

“NBC reported”
Well, you can take that for what it’s worth.
Translated from Newspeak, that means "NBC fabricated".
Pete Hegseth won’t leave a few BILLION dollars worth of weapons in some country like Afghanistan for the locals to use and sell to the Chinese.
Pete Hegseth won’t force WOKE sexual kinks on soldiers to the point the forces can’t recruit becuase the country is vomiting.
Pete Hegseth won’t sell out his country for a cushy job with some corrupt weapons contractors and he’s NOT a pervert.
In short he’s not some fake monster like much of the military bigs at the Pentagon. Elon needs to clean house soi Pete Hegseth doesn’t spend the first year wading through the filth.
It’s not worth a glob of warm spit!
Standard performance of Democrat appointees.
Exactly!!
And for all those reasons the Military Industrial Complex are very afraid of Pete.
In spite of all the sniping I thing any Republican senator that votes down Trump’s nominees is GONE after all the horrors both Trump and his voters have gone through to win.
For me it is Trump or nothing. The patriots that voted for Trump and the victory we achieved against all odds owe the GOP anything but contempt.
We need to watch and vote out anyone that betrays the MAGA movement.
I think Trump would have stood by Gaetz if Gaetz had doubled down, but he didn’t. Maybe the Gaetz thing was all choreographed anyway, as a way to kill the Congressional ethics report, and get the bad press about him out of the way so he can be appointed as a special prosecutor later.
We need Hegseth and Homan.
You are correct!
Isn’t it funny that what the LSM/demonrats use to smear pubbies are the very things that give them street cred.
Weasel words...how many 'yays' is the REAL question?
Kavanaugh II.
If only Pete wore stolen Women's clothing in public he could have sailed through the processing.
I couldn’t agree with you more.
All RINOS need to get on board or get run over in their next election.
We don’t need a repeat of 2016 and the loser Paul Ryan crapola.
POTUS 47 4D chess, anyone?
Even if Collins and Murkowski do their usual..and we wind up with a tie...Vance can ride in on his charger!!
Excellent! Thanks for the ping LG.
Absolutely.
And while we’re at it, let’s destroy the leftist/RINO game of anonymous smears.
This is laughable…considering that a cretin like Adam Schiff could be on video buggering an underage boy in the middle of a street…and his party would back him without question.
This entire thing smells of Mitch McConnell.
