GOP Rep. Bacon: Hegseth’s Tenure Will ‘Cause Damage to Our Country for Years to Come’
breitbart ^ | 12/06/25 | Pam Key

Posted on 12/06/2025 4:27:06 AM PST by chief lee runamok

“And I think some of the things being done by the Secretary—through some permission with the White House,
but most of it’s coming out of the Under Secretary for Policy—a lot of decisions are coming from there.
But it’s going to cause damage to our country for years to come, way after they leave.
It’s undermining our trust with our allies and a very important alliance.
And that troubles me more than anything.”

The more Democrats and Neocons whine about Hegseth and come up with various schemes to try to remove him, the more convinced I am he is exactly what the War Department needs.

Hegseth is awesome. He was the perfect choice to repair the damage done to our military.

Nowhere on the planet does a Deep State hire the front office appearance types for brains.

Hegseth is over the target.

“A member of the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, Bacon was an original sponsor of the Naming Commission, which stripped the Department of Defense of names valorizing the Confederacy, and of the Emmett Till Antilynching Act, which established lynching as a unique hate crime, and voted to enact the Respect for Marriage Act, which codified federal recognition of same-sex marriage. He was one of 37 Republicans who rejected attempts to overturn the 2020 election, and one of 35 who supported the committee to investigate the January 6th “

He is a big Ukraine supporter. And he was the PIO for Petraeus.

He’s a tool.

The problem IS NOT Hegseth. The problem IS Bacon.

This doofus thinks those tyrants destroying the western countries are allies. What a fool.

Their sleazy hands are in on all that is wrong in the US. Have been for quite a long time now.

Yes yes yes. You are so right! If he’s THAT hated, he must be THAT good.

I wonder what Trump saw in him that made him choose Pete. Maybe someone recommended him. Who?

He took some major crap during confirmation hearings, and was within hours of dropping out, or so I’ve heard.

bacon has one avid supporter:

Ro Khanna said, “We should not have a regime change war.

He continued, “On the question of the Secretary of Defense, I would
support Representative Bacon to be the Secretary of Defense.”

Just another example of “our betters” knowing what’s best for US. Extreme sarc.

“This doofus thinks those tyrants destroying the western countries are allies.”

To paraphrase Gonna Meir, this crap won’t stop until they stop loving criminals more than they hate Trump.

It’s cruel to say or even think, but my basic sinful nature sometimes hopes that these people’s (e.g. Bacon) loved ones, including children, become victims of illegal drugs in some fashion.

He's just a spokesman.The blob is out to get Hegseth and in the DC universe, this type of undermining usually works.

IIRC, Bacon is from one of the very few blue districts in all of the flyover central plains. WTF goes on over there ?

There are things the new Secretary of War are doing now, that as a strong supporter of Americans and a Constitutional Republic, I hope they last forever.

Protecting Americans and Defending the Republic is JOB ONE! If Politicians believed the same in Congress, they would have already balanced the budget. I find it so surreal that a bunch of incumbents, whose main job is to make laws and provide for the treasury to protect Americans and they Republic, have failed so miserably. Yet these same individuals are criticizing someone doing JOB ONE!

I say to this Congressperson, Balance the budget, then talk.

These POLS who whine about Hegseth must all be getting money from the drug trafficking trade.
Why else would you complain about killing someone that is literally bringing POISON into our country that KILLS 100K people annually?

This is not like bringing in marijuana or even cocaine.
That millions of people use as a recreational drug.
IF you take Fentanyl YOU Will Die.
Unless that drug is administered by a anesthesia in very small doses.
Like during an operation.

I am not condoning the use of cocaine either.
It is very addictive and absolutely destroys people.
However, millions of people can use it occasionally and not get addicted.
That goes for marijuana too.

Anyone caught distributing Fentanyl should be executed.
With extreme prejudice.

Please don’t give me any crap about addiction is a disease either.
It is a choice.
Nobody makes you stick a needle in your arm.
You choose to.
No different than eating a Big Mac, Fries and a 20 oz Coke.
Then complain that you have diabetes and high blood pressure.
