Hegseth Takes Heavy Fire

As expected, Pete Hegseth took heavy fire from the committee’s Democrats. They immediately went on the attack, bombarding Hegseth with wild accusations and disgusting smears.

The politics of personal destruction is their only strategy. Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer ordered his minions to tear into Trump’s nominees in order to embarrass them and Donald Trump.

Sen. Jack Reed, the ranking Democrat on the Armed Services Committee, launched the attacks by insinuating that Hegseth was a racist. Reed deliberately conflated Hegseth’s opposition to leftist DEI policies in the military with decades-old desegregation policies from the 1940s. Hegseth said he opposed divisive DEI policies that undermine merit.

Several Democrats attacked Hegseth for his opposition to women in combat. Hegseth responded that what he is opposed to is lowering performance standards to satisfy leftist agendas and quotas.

Some of the most obnoxious accusations came from Senators Richard Blumenthal, Tim Kaine, and Elizabeth Warren. They have no shame.

Blumenthal lied about his military service. That’s called “stolen valor.” Warren lied about her ethnicity. That’s “stolen heritage.” These liars have no business sitting in judgment of Hegseth, a hero who actually fought in combat.

Kaine insinuated that Hegseth’s character was immoral and that he was guilty of spousal abuse. What disgusting slander!

The senators making these charges aggressively support teaching elementary school age children all about LGBTQ sex. Their leftist allies are obsessed with death and perversion.

If Senator Kaine is so worried about violence against women, he should oppose the violence against baby girls destroyed through abortion. He should oppose mutilating young girls through insane transgender surgeries that cut off their breasts.

And kudos to Sen. Markwayne Mullin, who threw the liberals’ gross hypocrisy back in their faces!
