      Well, that’s not good! And should be disqualifying, right?

      My main issue with Hegseth is the same as with Gaetz. They both appear to have very poor decision making skills. These are the people we want to give the most powerful jobs in the country?

    5. NeverSober1900 on

      Does feel like Hegseth will be pulled a la Gaetz. Did not think he’d be the 2nd one to fall but good news if he does

      No one on the right will care about this. They will say it’s untrue.

      He was actually chanting “Free, free Palestine!”.
      Right, guys?

      Guys?

      He’s a white supremacist Christian nationalist. A nazi.

      That’s exactly the kind of shit they do.

      Who’s surprised?

      Trump wants him because he wants to use the National Guard to consolidate power. Friendly Governors will forward volunteers to form Trump’s national paramilitary.

      There’s a reason Hegseth wasn’t allowed near the Biden inaugeration and I don’t think it’s about a tattoo. He knows exactly what Trump wants and he’s ready to carry that out.

      This article has plenty more eye opening and credible information about this moral reprobate of a nomination. It’s a good read and only a couple minutes of your time.

      Oh, that’s not all.

      Hegseth previously led a partisan organization called “Concerned Veteran for America,” which has strong ties to the Koch Network. Hegseth was eventually forced out of the advocacy group due to “mismanagement of funds, sexual impropriety and reports of intoxicated behavior.”

      In fact, he was booted from another conservative group, “Veterans for Freedom,” for similar complaints. Which raises questions about his suitability for a position that oversees the country’s largest federal agency that employs more than 2.8 million people.

      A report about Hegseth’s time as president of CVA describes him as being “repeatedly intoxicated while acting in his official capacity and sometimes needing to be carried out of the organization’s events.”

      Hegseth has been a Fox News contributor since 2014.

      He has also been pretty vocal in the past about his opposition to women serving in combat roles. There are a lot of concerns among women in uniform right now related to fears that Hegseth will hinder efforts to prevent sexual assault and harassment in the military.

      Despite Republicans complaining about “the left’s violent rhetoric,” Hegseth has received backlash for labeling all left-leaning Americans as “domestic enemies.”

      Hegseth has been accused of being an extremist. A fellow service member once called him an “insider threat” after seeing a tattoo of his that’s associated with white supremacist groups.

      > The Army considers an insider threat someone who “is a malicious threat to an organization that comes from a person or people within the organization.”

      Hegseth has of course blamed these criticisms on “wokeness,” and even wrote a book about it titled, “The War on Warriors: Behind the Betrayal of the Men Who Keep Us Free.”

      > “The War on Warriors uncovers the deep roots of our dysfunction – a society that has forgotten the men who take risks, cut through red tape, and get their hands dirty. The only kind of men prepared to face the dangers that the Left pretends don’t exist,”

      Hegseth has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman in California after a speaking engagement. It’s been reported that he barred the door to her hotel room and took away her cell phone.

      > Although Hegseth denied the allegations and was never charged, he did pay a settlement to the accuser.

      Questions were raised when his account of the events changed while under investigation.

      The settlement also included a confidentiality agreement.

      Remember the tasteless smear campaign against Tim Walz and his time in the National Guard? Well, not a peep from conservatives this time despite Hegseth being pulled from his National Guard duties due to concerns from members of his unit. Oh, and the concerns were raised when Hegseth was assigned responsibilities for Joe Biden’s inauguration.

      Then there’s his outspoken and controversial support for the Blackwater contractors who killed 14 unarmed Iraqi Civilians during the 2007 Nisour Square massacre in Baghdad.

      > Hegseth lobbied President Donald Trump to pardon these contractors, which Trump ultimately did at the end of his first term.

      Shockingly, Hegseth has also downplayed January 6th, particularly the violent role that any veterans played during the attack.

      More rampant cronyism, corruption and extremism from the next Trump administration… And it’s not even a month after the election.

      “[Hegseth] got so inebriated while out with three young female staffers that it took two male staff members to carry him up into a hotel room after he was “completely passed out” in a van and “slumped over” a female employee.”

      Sounds like he spent much of his time in a van down by the river.

      They gotta stop with these leaks, Republicans can only get so hard

      And this is in part the fault of the protesters who decided to only protest the proPalestinian, pro ceasefire, pro two state solution candidate, instead of protesting the antiPalestinian, Islamaphobic candidate who enacted a Muslim ban and said he was going to deport Palestinians.

      Meanwhile Michigan Muslims cheering that they didn’t vote for Harris

    22. Cold-Memory-2493 on

      Dude has crusader tattoo all over him so it aint just about 9/11 Paranoia . he is one of those folks who believe we are in some kinda civilizational war with Islam . of course he gonna say that .

    24. cn_wizz on

      Remove the ‘on a drunken night’ piece of the headline. If he said that, then he said that. We know people express their true feelings when intoxicated so cut the mess. Nothing should be couched in describing their transgressions.

    25. strolpol on

      Starting to wonder if he actually isn’t a time displaced Crusader who lucked into a Fox job

    26. AIISFINE on

      Oh, wow, someone with fascist tattoos chanting fascist things?

      Put him in the ground where all fascists belong.

    27. Valen_the_Dovahkiin on

      The double-edged sword of Hegseth (possibly) getting dropped as DoD secretary is Project 2025 finding someone with the same ideological “views” who’s more competent and doesn’t say the quiet part out loud.

    29. FoxyInTheSnow on

      Question: is there any danger of running out of stable geniuses to fill cabinet positions if some of these excellent picks like Kennedy, Hegseth, and the wrestling lady *et al* don’t meet expectations?

    30. Human_Apartment on

      It’s gotta be because they’re brown because ideology is the same. He’s literally trying to become a mullah for Y’allqaeda.

    32. Galaxy_Ranger_Bob on

      >Pete Hegseth accused of chanting ‘kill all Muslims’ on a drunken night out

      Umm, the article writer understands that his hatred of minorities is *why* he was nominated for the position he was nominated for, doesn’t he?

      The guy has SS Lightning Bolts as a tattoo, as well as Crusader crosses showing just how much he hates Muslims.

    33. IronChariots on

      This will make him more popular with Republicans. They agree with him.

    34. VaporCarpet on

      I hope all the voters in Dearborn Michigan are happy with their vote, and I hope their preferred candidate delivers everything he said he would.

    35. boththingsandideas on

      I’m not at all surprised, and don’t expect this to have any particular impact. Fuck I’m numb.
