It is not. The guy worked on Fox and knows his way around talk.He is a serial lier,drinker and white supremacist who despises women. #doNOTconfirm

what a miserable little turd

Hmm, not exactly taking responsibility for anything. Even his mother had some choice words for him at the time!

Might be swishing away dry mouth from an edible 😂

Lets him COMPLETELY sidestep the actual question. No follow up whatsoever - he just had to ask the question to pretend he gives a shit about any of the misconduct.

Hegseth: "In the immortal words of a well known SCJ, this is a high tech lynching."

Lol.

I've always found that people who smile at when answering tough questions or rather not answering tough questions are incredibly bad people and people who smile all the time are dangerous.

Another "I plead the 5th" kinda statement.

"Us".

Interesting that he doesn't actually deny it.

Are they planning on a war?

It’s always someone else’s fault. Finger pointing at its best.

Drinking lots of water... a dry mouth indicates deception.

Because they say how badly he was doing.

Being Sec of Defense doesn't mean being the most defensive person when answering Qs.

are you counting the number of times hegs inovokes Jesus and God in a response...? How may times does it take to make him holy?

A TRUMPIE THROUGH AND THROUGH.

Smear campaign my eyeball! Smear him with his history 🤣

It’s only a smear if it’s false. It is not false.

It's scary to know he's going to run the military and feels the same way about Democrats as Trump. This is terrorism making us go through this. I fear for all of us if he gets in.

Wicker is a fkn simp!

It's all a farce. They will all get confirmed. This is not a serious hearing.

Is his mom part of that smear campaign?

Like Trump, Hegseth is an entertainer - a corrupt con man, a rapist, an idiot, a hate- filled misogynist who is unqualified for the job. Republicans are willing to put their constituents, their own families & friends in peril to confirm this unqualified alcoholic fool.

Wow. That wasn't partisan at all. 🤦‍♀️

Now he's crying.

Are the Dems playing excerpts from Hegseth's own words to counter the "smear campaign" whining?

"Us"?

…allegations…

Is there vodka in that glass because dang is Hegseth dehydrated.

Cough, Bull&*it

It’s like a high tech lynching /sarcasm

The royal “us”. Nice.

The alcoholic says he is not an alcoholic. Got it.

“We?” “Us?” Is there a mouse in Hegseth’s pocket?

I think you mean to write - "him getting wasted on charity funds meant for veterans" 😉

F U anonymous sources!! BS.

Why is he always speaking like he is 2 people?

A smear campaign that HE initiated on his own, by his own actions!

Then release the women from their NDAs and question them!

Who’s “us”? He’s got a turd in his pocket.

Who is "us"? All the other Republicans who sexually assault women? Have inappropriate workplace behavior? Abuse alcohol? That's most of the gop in congress!!!

🚨 Back by popular demand! 🚨 Pete Hegseth’s smooshed-up hamburger face getting pancaked even further by an industrial hydraulic press. Enjoy!

So...getting the TRUTH out is NOW called a coordinated smear campaign...a witch hunt...etc. STOP THE MADNESS.

Everyone is out to get him. Another MAGA victim.

As soon as they say Liberal media... I just zone out...

Just because it is a smear campaign doesn't mean it's false. In fact, I'm certain that it is true. Another argument against Hegseth: he doesn't know how to present an argument.

Why would his mom smear him like that?

Us?

Question: Pete, who are us? These are allegations relevant to your behavior.

So he’s using the Marion Barry “bitch set me up” defense?

MAGA GOP cultist demonstrating the qualities to be Sec of Defense….not. Hegseth showing the world he is not remotely qualified. So. Disgusted.

I'm betting that he pours himself four fingers when he gets home tonight 🥃

Whenever it’s the fragile white men of the gop it’s a smear or a lie.. Tell me why diddy is in jail when Trump/Epstein & the GOP are the white diddy🧐 The GOP is a crime organization.

“us”?

Wicker is dangerously deluded.

Kavanaugh all over again

Even if that's true, he's still utterly unqualified. And that's the point, to pick someone who will be loyal above all else. A person completely out of his depth is perfect for that.

"us"

There will be more of this language. It will be pervasive soon enough. When the narrative of "us vs. them" starts escalating, our society will become perilous.

Right?!

The gUStapo

We've been stuck with Clarence Thomas b/c he used the phrase "technological lunching" to lie about his innocence regarding Anita Hill. These people without any sense of honor, truth, or respect for facts, cause horrible damage. trueman-triola.stories.email/p/im-a-deplo...

Same list of bs answers donold uses/was told to say. 🤮

Are they in the room with us right now? Because I care about him wasting charity funds meant for veterans.

The Free-dumb caucus.

He and his imaginary rapybros

I guess he’s using the royal “we.”

He's got a mouse in his pocket.

Rapists

There are receipts, my man. Fckin MAGA are morons.

'Hegseth claims it's a "coordinated smear campaign orchestrated in the media against us."' Um, aren't some of these from verifiable police and law records? 🤔

Ah, yeah, it’s always a witch hunt.

He’s such a smarmy fuck

"Let's get into this allegation about, um, sexual assault, inappropriate workplace behavior, alcohol abuse, and financial mismanagement..." Jfc... What a preface

Clear that the Republican senators have been stripped of their personal agency. They surrendered their individual control and autonomy to their overlord ,Trump.

They -Sen Repubs are so afraid all the information will come out. Refusing to meet with Dem senators, FBI failures to interview involved victims of Hegseth’s assaults, his financial mgmt.

Nothing is standard anymore.

Wicker ensuring that his name makes the historical list of spineless Trump lemmings who killed American democracy for a few years of power kicks. Benedict Arnold looks downright saintly next to these MAGA ghouls.

Unfortunately, norms and standards are now a thing of the past.

Wicker, asshole and creep and coward

That's the whole point, isn't it? As Bannon said, to "deconstruct the administrative state."

Sounds like Wicker is scared of the truth.

I like how MTG had his back.

They don't want the truth to be shouted any louder or longer, some of the ignorant voting base might actually hear it.

Elections have consequences 🤷🏿‍♂️

Sen. Wickler should at least raise his right hand in the proper salute if he elects to do the Fuhrer's bidding and foregoes his responsibility as an elected Senator.

Senator Reed is allowing Hegseth to filibuster with an impressive stream of nonsense. This is how democrats lose.

Of course he does

The fix is in….

I can’t believe I’m going to say this! PH will be the defence secretary loyal to Trump NOT the constitution. He will get the job because none of these senators really have the balls to defy Trump! They don’t have the balls to laugh PH out of the room, ridiculous waste of time for an obvious outcome!

Why doesn't Reed, say "reclaiming my time"? Come on!!

It's going to be so funny when he's out the door in a month and trump puts Sgt Slaughter in to his job with Hogan the head of the Olympic committee

lol GOP is in for the full sweep

Honestly, that smirk on his face. The smirk that says, "I know the system is unfair and benefits white men and we are gonna keep it that way. " He likes that he's unqualified and getting the job anyway. That's what the system stands for.

This man is an unqualified DEI. Just because he is white they want to out in a position that way beyond his capacities

I can’t say Wicker was on my radar before. But now I see that the last consonant should be a D.

So we get the slowest talking Dem Senator as the ranking member for Hegseth’s first 7 minutes. 🙄

Wicker is a coward.

This is horrible. The members have a right to see it before voting. All I can figure is it's really bad.

What a joke. The FBI report on a nominee is secret?! 😡

So very wrong!

Just sharing this article from 2021 #MilitaryTimes. Recall that Senator Mike Gravel read the Pentagon Papers into the Congressional record and was remembered for this action throughout his life. One-man filibuster. www.militarytimes.com/news/pentago...

They have a lot to hide, apparently.

That's a good question, so I'll ignore it.

Yeah, well the last two didn’t have records of probable rape, mismanagement of funds, alleged abuse of alcohol. These mild mannered men are facing serious problems with Hegseth and they sit there like school teachers in front of the principal. 🤦🏼‍♀️

All you need to see: youtu.be/pMrVdFnjEjs?...

F WICKER

Yes let’s not see all the dirty details of that unqualified 💩. GOP are a disgrace

What are the Repubs more afraid of, more questions or the FBI report being revealed.

of course
