Thanks for that information.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

But other than that Mrs Lincoln how did you like the play?!

Smug power hungry unprincipled sex pest refuses to bow out. There is no decency left with these bootlickers.

This statement alone shows just how unqualified he is to hold this office.

The GOP circus continues, with required consideration of GROSSLY UNFIT people for positions of great responsibility. The Trump Daily Show always provides a circus!

Hegseth knows his only job is to dismantle. Our Sevice members will quit under Hegseth. Every military professional who is not a MAGAt and some who are will retire. We will be extremely vulnerable.

Just what the Republicans are looking for.He fits the mold totally,in fact he might be related to Trump.

Disgusting asshole

Let's not forget about The First Felon's desire to use the military to put down civil protest. Not as grim as nuclear war, but grim. Remember Kent State? Tin soldiers and Nixon coming We're finally on our own This summer I hear the drumming Four dead in Ohio

I see your point, but anyone who Trump appoints to that position is gonna be a "yes man". There's a long line of them right behind Hegseth.

I have to follow you for this post.

The nazi tattoos alone tell you who he is. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Well said. A lot of words to not answer the questions.

Shhh! No! That would ruin our plans! We are installing Petey precisely because he will allow the devilish Don to use the military to police the population. That's the whole point! Down with democracy!

I'd like to see a Senator list the specific qualifications required for the job & ask Hegseth what experience he has that meets that standard?

he has zero qualifications to even be considered for SecDef.

Kudos to the protesters in the room. I wanna see more of this 👏👏

Put Reed’s opening comments on a loop & play it continuously

🤣

Precious little of this trending on TwX yesterday...wonder why!?!

So real💯

And then Hegseth spoke and lied about it all. Blaming of course the 'left wing media' for posting the 'lies' w/no backup. I believe there's an NDA and payment to one witness.

republicans want to waste political capital on this guy? this is who GOP want to defend? WWJD?

This incompetent man will be a disgrace for the Pentagon and America… the opposition world is just waiting for that…

Agreed

Agree! He’s smiling way too much.

The *stark* difference between Sen Wicker’s and Sen Reed’s introductory remarks mirrors the citizenry of our country. It’s dangerous and embarrassing to not put country first. Misogyny, alcohol abuse, sexual abuse, mgmt fraud? Are we really going to do this?

Are any of the Dems playing excerpts of his own words to counter his "smear campaign" allegations?

He would turn that toast to briquets.

Republicans: No one should ever wonder how low they could possibly go bc there is no bottom. There’s no line they won’t cross. No person they won’t elevate, no matter how appalling or despicable.

That's more like it.

Finally, someone talking sense!!

He’s 100 percent correct. All his personal shortcomings distracted us from his lack of administration experience. Running the Pentagon is not for the faint of heart.

I just saw a report that he will be confirmed because this was only addressed to 6 Republicans NOT TO THE AMERICAN PPL.

Jack should ask Pete if he is drunk right now, had anything to drink last night and has a hangover, and is planning to drink after the hearing ends or during it.

He’s got a great body and a super great white boy ass!!!!! But that front area is either not much or is tucked really good. Almost looks like he might be a pussy!!! Oh I mean have a pussy!!!

He’s not qualified!!!!! Not qualified for absolutely nothing but standing & walking around looking good in his underwear!!!!!! The dude is hot. Wonder what the cost of his OnlyFans full access costs?? Not that I’m gonna pay to see his ding a ling. From what I’ve seen

😂 It was.

💯All of this👊🏾No lies detected at all!

Example of DEMs wrong way to message. Long list in monotone of Hegseth's failings. Should have punched his eyes out verbally. Instead, nobody can remember what Reed said. This has to stop .

Not qualified. Alarming reports of financial mismanagement, alcohol abuse, sexual assault, racist & sexist comments, sexual harassment..... Hegseth is not capable of this role and lacks the character required to "meet the overwhelming demands" of this job. Thank you Sen Jack Reed.

HERE ARE THE REAL DEI PSYCO PATH!!

Dude is basically Homelander without powers.

And it should end here.

Oh look a spine!

We await the answer. Unfortunately, reality is a construct of thought that desires continuity. Actually, the expectation of continuity is a glorious fiction. Reality depends upon our choices of what and how we choose to observe.

I really hope that after all the comments stating that PH is not qualified to be defence secretary, I hope they don’t just go with the flow and push his nomination through! I hope all the statements are acknowledged. He can’t even confirm his allegiance to the constitution!🤷🏻‍♀️no his is to a dictator

Hegseth is unequivocally unfit. Laughable.

It’s like when senator Biden was trying to keep Clarence Thomas out of the Supreme Court. youtu.be/kRwqK2bS5pk?...

What are we doing to ourselves, America? Are these the right people to lead us? Are these the best we have? Trump and sycophants? May God save us!

Jack Reed brought the flamethrower Well done

Go, Senator Reed! I want this from all the Dems on the committee.

the worst ever !

Hegseth is a rapist and an angry drunk. It’s both a rough past he’s overcome with his 3rd? 4th? 5th? wife’s help, and it’s also a terrible media smear. Hmmm. Hegseth is a rapist and an angry drunk.

Ya but, ya but don’t you appreciate his unconventionalness?

I guarantee I did not vote with my feet.

"Anti-woke" ... IE: clueless

That French collar with a half Windsor knot is enough to disqualify him in my book. Dude is clueless.

Thank you, Senator Reed

He just described Trump I guess that’s why this guy was nominated.

Thank you Senator Reed my Senator he does so much for veterans.I feel so bad for Veterans in the next fours years coming with this administration.

That's my senator 👏

To think that Pete Hegseth will be in charge of a department that gets hundreds of billions of dollars a year. We need to know he will not mismanage these funds!!

The blinking….

How convenient

Hegseth is being very argumentative.

"Alarming" yep... very!

This is a carryover from the first term, where Trump bullied Comey out to get Wray, with Freeh’s boys at the NYC field office the consistent through line.

Reed earned the Ranger Tab and was a paratrooper. He served as a paratrooper in the 2nd Battalion, 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division where he was a platoon leader, company commander and battalion staff officer. He's the real deal, unlike the drunk rapist fake soldier Hegseth.

Nice! Sen. Reed doing his homework 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

oh theres lots of money in weapons payoffs

Normal humans would slink away in shame.

We are fcuked

I remember Kevin McCarthy having a smug smile like that right before he became speaker. Hegseth won't last long, I'd bet.

The tough guy couldn’t meet with the Dems because he was afraid he couldn’t answer their questions? This guy would have a finger on the nukes and a bottle of Jack Daniels in the other hand. He must not be confirmed! In fact, he should be called up to active duty and court martialed for his behavior

Why should he or any of them meet with Democrats? We all know the Republican capitulation is complete. They'll all vote to confirm in order to not piss off President Musk and Vice President Orange.

Rank partisanship is his life blood. That's why he was on FN. He is unqualified for #SecDef . He was nominated for the purpose of creating outrage, thus contributing to the chaos that is a defining characteristic of TFG's administration.

Another trump DEI (didn't earn it) hire.

Backpfeifengesicht, as the Germans say

Looks like he got a few Sunday punches already.

Saving my punch for McTurtle.

It seems to be a prerequisite for the orange buffoon's cabinet.

It's an increasingly list, mostly among magats, republicans, billionaire 'tech bros' & the president elect... 🤔 😏

💯 unacceptable

Especially Tammy Duckworth; this verifies he is a total ass.

Jack Reed said it loud and clear. What is there left to say except PASS!

POS.. period .. full stop.. he should not be in charge of anything 👹

He met the Orange King, that is all that matters

Will he DO anything about it? #ReleaseTheFBIreport

It’s the department of defense, you monster, not the department of war.

This is to me the biggest red flag! This is the language of totalitarianism.

The GOP banned bi-partisanship in 2017. Just ask Liz Cheney, Mit Romney, and others.

Someone feels rather nervous given the rapid eye blinking. It is it eyelid twitching from excess alcohol consumption? 🤔

He was too scared, poor guy.

I’m really liking Sen. Reed!

💯👍👇

I'm cynical, and all of this sound and fury is delightful to hear, but I am waiting for the other shoe to drop i.e. he gets confirmed anyway.

So odd that he failed to meet with the female democratic committee members.

Why does it look like Hegseth was told to just sit and take this tongue lashing, we're putting you through anyway?

Speaking the truth is a powerful thing. youtu.be/sgz1GurcliQ
