The Hill ^ | 1.23.25 | Al Weaver

Posted on 01/23/2025 5:44:08 AM PST by Words Matter

Senate Republicans are steamrolling ahead on Pete Hegseth’s nomination to lead the Pentagon, and a new report detailing allegations of abusive behavior by the nominee have seemingly not dissuaded them.

Pete’s former spouse has already debunked the allegations made by his wacked out sister-in-law. These allegations are lies created by the DemocRAT Senatorial Turd Rollers.

Headline broken.

“Senate GOP full steam ahead on Hegseth despite demonstrably false, bogus, debunked, lame, last minute abuse allegations.”

There. I fixed it for you.

“The Hill” and their lying compatriots built their Everest of lies. I enjoy watching them die on that hill. Hopefully, the remains will be buried at a depth that will guarantee that humanity will never by infected by their **** again.

It is time to take off the gloves with the Democrats who are doing character assassinations. Start with Schumer.

“former spouse has already debunked the allegations”

no physical abuse

That doesn’t rule out verbal abuse (unlikely IMO) or rampant cheating.

It is clear to me that the ex-wife thinks Pete should serve as Secretary of Defense and I think the senators should consider that a strong recommendation for Pete.

If they have enough votes, inform the Dems that the show is over.

It was meant to influence Collins, Murkowski and Ernst on the final vote.

“Schumer” should not get in the way of safeguarding the nation or the lives of our soldiers.

I appreciate that they do, it tells me this is a good candidate for the job. The ones they all love and let slide through the process easily (think Bill Barr) are the ones you need to worry about, they are the double agents.
