I love how Hegseth explains a Pittsburgh area term (also used in the Chicago area, I hear) a little more diplomatically than telling Reed to go look in the mirror.

After all, it was our voters who swung Pennsylvania and DJT's election in November.

Senator Jagoff Reed (D-Rhode Island) should know.

His dad probably calls him one. Certainly his mother.

We know what these jackoff democrats will do. Sadly, it’s the RINO jerks we have to worry about.

Little did naive jack reed know what a loaded question it was.

The spoiled little brat democrats think they still have a say in everything... If the R’s stick together they don’t, and that’s a beautiful thing.

Wow...talk about a softball question. The perfect answer would be “I don’t know how to define it but I know one when I see one sir”. And then just a deadpan stare at the Senator.

Tell him “ well Senator, do you have a mirror?”

Or better yet, humiliate the idiot. Say Senator, everyone in America understands that term? Are you really that out of touch?

In the British Isles, Australia, and New Zealand, the term is “WANKER”.

If the R’s stick together they don’t,

And when has that ever happened? The GOP needs a Whip worthy of the title, almost as desperately as we needed Pres Trump.

Ah yes. Our angelic pure virginal senators. All so pure and angelic. Never touched a drop of alcohol. Never partied in college. Never womanize. never had sex with strange. Never did insider training. Never uttered a single vulgarity. Never lied.

“Someone who wastes time with irrelevancies instead of his job to please himself or others in his coterie, like you Senator.”

Reed was an Army officer, he knows what a jagoff is, but must have thought he could somehow trap Pete. Pete’s answer was perfect.
