They never treated a Democrat like this.

President-elect Donald Trump’s Secretary of Defense pick Pete Hegseth is comparing vicious media reports about his alleged sexual misconduct to what Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh endured during the jurist’s heated confirmation process in 2018.
Hegseth, 44, first likened his nomination fight to Kavanaugh’s on Wednesday morning in a meeting with House Republicans on Capitol Hill, Rep. Beth Van Duyne (R-Texas) told The Post.
“I think his point was, you know, a lot of anonymous sources can say anything,” the congresswoman said after emerging from the closed-door session with the Republican Study Committee, the largest House GOP caucus. “That was one example that he said.”
“What we’re hearing from all of [the] folks who he’s working with for 18 years is, this is an honest, good guy,” she affirmed.
Anonymous accusers and whistleblowers at vet nonprofits Hegseth headed up have come out against the defense secretary-designee in recent weeks, claiming that in the 2010s the Army vet often drank on the job and made inappropriate sexual advances — including an alleged assault.

They never treated a Democrat like this.
Hit job orchestrated and promoted by Sen. Joni Ernest, RINO, MAGA hater.
Kavanaugh didn’t pay bribe money to Ballsey Ford for something he said never happened, then withhold that information from Trump. Pete said it was on advice from his lawyer. He has 7 children. Fire that lawyer.
Definitely not the type of behavior of someone wishing to assume the office of Sec of Def.........
He is of course right.
The Borg is trying to pick off one nominee at a time.
NO!
STOP IT RIGHT HERE!
After Hegseth, they’re on to the next most dangerous to them MAGA supporter.
This must end.
Here.
Now.
Hegseth yesterday, today, tomorrow, and for 12 glorious years!
Hopefully, Trump will realize that and get Hegseth confirmed.
If not, maybe Musk is on it.
“Sen. Joni Ernest, RINO, MAGA hater.”
AMEN to THAT! Beotch. Ugh! Maybe we can rid ourselves of her in the 2026 election? (Mid-Terms)
Let’s ALL try REALLY HARD to thin the herd and replace all RINOs with MAGA constituents come 2026!
Two years out. Look at your state and get busy, Everyone!
Bitch needs to remember something:
Fewer than a million people in one state voted for her. More than 77 million in EVERY state voted for Trump.
She is not the Senate. She is not the Decider. She needs to STFU or stand by for Charlie Kirk to be in Iowa in 2026 like a hog in mud.
her having an affair with a fellow soldier while deployed

Hint seems to be that it was Pete H., but I don’t know if they served at the same time.
Yep, just watched Lester Holt on the NBC news and his ghouls repeated the slur made by ten of his former co-workers, anonymously, that he would show up drunk, despite twelve of his current co-workers going on record that the accusation is bullshit. Way to go Lester Holt, you lying effeminate idiot.
Exactly. Hegseth is no Kavanaugh. Not even close.
By all accounts, Kavanaugh has been faithfully married to his wife for 20 years. His detractors accused him of bad behavior in his teen years. All they had were baseless claims against a man with a stellar reputation.
Unfortunately Ernst will be able to sink it. Murk, Collins are already no l’m sure. So Mitch or that punk who took Romney’s place will do it. 4 no votes and he is out.
Pelosi when asked about the Democrats despicable attempt to destroy Kavaugh’s life just laughed and said “That’s just politics”
That, in a nutshell, is how the opposition thinks.
Something every GOP politicians from Bush 1 to Trump never understood about them. It past time for the dead weight in the GOP-E to be jettisoned
Past time the weak links in the GOP E Senate draw primary challengers. If they are going to be assistant Democrats against Trump, they need to be shown the door by voters.

Mike Johnson can force the Congress to go into recess.
That will take a majority. I am not sure he can get it, maybe. Will he be willing to try, maybe.
He should go for it. RINOs do not want to get primaries. The next election is in two years.
I remember when Clarence Thomas called out the committee for engaging in a high-tech lynching. These nominees need to have enough guts to put the committee members on trial.
