This May Be the Worst Two Minutes From Hegseth’s Confirmation Hearing
New Republic via MSN ^ | 1/14/25 | Malcom Ferguson

Posted on 01/14/2025 1:13:19 PM PST by DallasBiff

Donald Trump’s defense secretary nominee Pete Hegseth refused to answer a series of important questions during his confirmation hearing Tuesday.

“I have read multiple reports of your regularly being drunk at work, including by people who worked with you at Fox News,” Senator Mazie Hirono asked Hegseth. “Do you know that being drunk at work is prohibited for service members under the UCMJ (Uniform Code of Military Justice)?”

Huh, Malcom did Pete Hegseth leave a woman to drown to death in a car, as Ted Kennedy did.

There will be no answer from the radical libs.

Senator Hirono, would you share any source-names for those reports are are they all anonymous?

“Will you resign as secretary of defense if you drink on the job, which is a 24/7 position?” Hirono followed up.

Did Cameltoe resign as Vice President of the United States when she drank on the job, which is a 24/7 position?

By the way, did we ever find out who owned the cocaine in the White House?

This report was strictly character assassination from an anonymous source released by NBC. It’s been refuted by almost all of his colleagues. Yet Democrats still push it because they want to create a spectacle.

She is why I don’t take Hawaii seriously on anything. She is an embarrassment, and Hawaiians think she is wonderful.

Several FOX co-workers came to Pete’s defense a while ago & said they never saw him intoxicated/drunk at work. I believe Bongino was one of them.

From what I’ve seen no one laid a glove on Pete all day......this writer, just like every other lib is in an alternate reality.

Unrelated, and possibly irrelevant query: why are democrat women so homely and unhinged.

IMO, they just are.

“Will you resign as secretary of defense if you drink on the job, which is a 24/7 position?”

“(chuckling)Sure. I’ll keep my promises just like you people do”.

Lloyd Austin had major surgery and was out of commission for weeks and kept it a secret.

RE: Hirono’s secret sources....

A trans hair stylist at a lesbian spa told it to an ex lover of Hillary Clinton just released from a mental health facility following her extraterrestrial abduction and escape.

Practically a witness at the hearing.

The fact that New Republic fabulist Malcom Ferguson takes Hirono seriously tells you all you need to know about his "reporting".

He's a Gaslight Media stooge.
