What a dumbass. Learn from your mistakes.

Based on his (lack of) character, he would do it again.

"if i could go back in time and change the thing i now know to be a mistake, i wouldn't"

That's called a learning disorder Tillis.

Anyone with a working brain knew a part-time Fox News host wasn’t qualified to be SecDef.

"I made a mistake, but I will never take the time to understand the depth of the problem and truly prevent it from happening again." -all republicans for the last ten years

The Rapeublican platform.

But other than that…

Yeah. Of course you would...

SMH…Tillis is straddling the fence to keep his political ties in tact. The writing was on the wall with Hegseth. His own mom, said he was abusive and needed help but somehow Tillis thought that data was qualifying? History will remember Tillis as a self serving coward, with the rest of the GOP.

i made a mistake but it’s someone else’s fault.

By data, do you mean half-baked lies?

So not even willing to do the right thing even now? Shame on Thom Tillis. Looking forward to seeing Democrat Roy Cooper take this office.

There's zero acknowledgement by Tillis that he should have done legit research like everyone that voted against Hegseth. He just assumes his base is dumb enough not to catch that.

The data. Trump told me I had too F off Tillis

Oh come on!!! Stop putting this traitor on TV

What a weasel. He knows what he did was immoral and wrong and he's still trying to justify it.

Holy shit. What data would disqualify the patently unqualified Hegseth?

He couldn't be more full of shit.

Is his term up yet?!

‘He stunk, but I couldn’t smell it at the time…’

Tillis is lying.

Tillis encouraged a Hegseth whistleblower to go public with her assault, then he abandoned her and voted for Hegseth anyway. No redemption arc for Tillis. He owns this mess.

“I regret the mistake, but I would make it again right now” is galaxy-brain stuff

“foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

You’re no maverick Tillis

“I made a mistake and I didn’t learn from it.”

Blood is on his hands.

A MAGA. Don't think otherwise.

The “I was too big of a p*ssy to oppose Trump” tour is going well

Fuck this guy 100x over with his BS

It can't be both. And quit your lying, Tillis.

Cleaning his record and selling a book. When you don't seek re-election, you have nothing to lose . Right Tom?

What a fucking slimeball.

Tillis is getting way too much air time. He’s a coward that’s trying to get big payday before becoming an irrelevant coward.

feckless; adj. feck-less. lacking initiative, strength of character, or responsibility, making someone or something ineffective and incompetent.

I shot myself in the foot, but it healed, so I shot it again.

the data at the time was loud and clear, a weekend co-host who can`t handle his wobbly pops and is inappropriate with women jackasss

Impeach him then

Oh, he’s on a book tour and that’s why every network is giving him a free platform to peddle his book. MSM is so stupid.

By data, is he referring to the resume that shows him as a Fox WEEKEND host? Or the data that shows him as a drunkard? Or both?

Okay Tillis, but many of us had data at the time that would have prevented us from making the mistake you made, so maybe step aside and let one of us who makes better use of information to avoid this kind of mistake cover your job, eh?

tillis is dumber than dogshit.

Guy is a lump of shit

Made a mistake but would do it again. Got it.

"I was an idiot then, but since I'm still an idiot I'd do the same again."

That’s some deep rationalization/self-delusion.

Oh please

“Data”? Fuck you.

The data of Hegseth’s history being questioned in an alleged sexual assault and mishandling the finances of a business he was running? Is that the data he’s referring to?

Then you clearly have been too fick8g stupid to be senator. Good riddance dickbag.

I guess sexual and substance abuse aren't disqualifying for Thom.

Seriously, he's a liar and he's on a book tour. F him!!!!

The "data" shows that Hegseth was a Fox News guy.

Im just a retiring senator sitting for an interview trying to sell my book. 😢

his data was. trump

What now?

Good grief. We can all be thankful that he's not running for re-election and will likely be replaced by Roy Cooper. NC, and, indeed, all of America, deserve to have senators with better judgment.

A Fucks news host to run our military. Tillis is a F’N moron!

Stop!!! MSM STOP AIRING THIS HAS BEEN!! WE DON’T CARE. And we are buying his fucking book.

What was it about the alcoholic Fox News presenter that you thought would make him a good Secretary of Defence?

As a Republican, I will continue to make the same mistakes that enables the fascism we require for capital interests. bsky.app/profile/atru...

@SenThomTillis: You mean the data about beating his wife and his alcoholism? THAT information?

fascism enabler

No one pushes back and asks how he thought a Fox News host with zero qualifications should lead DOD. @arimelber.bsky.social didn't push back either. You are a SENATOR and should be making your own decisions. Why did YOU think he was qualified? Make him squirm until he answers. DO YOUR JOB, PRESS!

Bull shit!!

"I was clueless then and I'm proud to say, I'd still be clueless if I was repeatedly hit over the head with the facts".

What's spineless rat

They can’t let go of being a Republican, even as Trump drags them though literal shit.

Even the data at that time wasn’t a compelling reason to confirm him. He was fully unqualified from the get go and continues to prove that. He has caused immediate and long term harm to the military.

You have to understand Cassie, being a senator isn’t a real job. If it was a real job, they wouldn’t do it into our 90s. They can do it even if they’re technically brain dead. With a real job you retire and live out your golden years on your pension. Being a senator is not a real job. Data

"I`m really NOT an asshole - and yet I really AM an asshole." JFC, what a moron.

Keep digging Tommy….

LOL "Yeah, I fucked up, but you know what, I'd do it again". What a moron, but hey that tracks in the US these days.

The Thom Tillis deterioration tour.

He thought he had enough data to install a weekend talk show host with a drinking problem as secretary of defense? Shorter Tillis: I would have done a better job had I not been a soulless incompetent hack.

🤦🏼‍♀️ #HegsethResign #FlipNCBlue

Yup tiny thom is an asshole

Well sure you would. Because you're a stinking Trumpist

The evidence at the time was he is a drunk and cheats on his wife!

…how about saying what Trump said about any city that is a part of The USofA, Trump is currently the President of The United States of America…no?

And he can still look at himself in the mirror each morning?

The evidence that a guy who was a drunk, adulterer, unqualified, white nationalist, self-inflated service record having TV hack wasn't sufficient to prevent voting for the DefSec? WTF evidence is needed to vote against? What is too far?

Dems need to stop looking for heroes in the MAGA party. They are who you think they are.

none of them are sorry. they need to held accountable

So the data that he sexually harassed and had to pay people for it was good enough for Tillis? Ok. Shocker.

Screw the data, what about the booze-fueled war crimes?!

Kinda fun in a perverse way to watch someone cement their legacy of absolute chickenshit cowardice as firmly as this. Well played.

That "data" being: he was a Republican President's nominee to a Republican Senate.

They're all in on fascism.

such a D-bag ... all of em’

What a waste of time. NO ONE will buy his book.

Yes, I will keep banging my head into the brick wall.

Fact is, even if he hadn’t done that he is not qualified to run the Department of Defense. And he’s demonstrated that he’s learned nothing on the job.

The DATA was the same you fucking coward.

“I am proud to have learned nothing”

"I was wrong but I wasn't wrong and I would fall for it again and it is everyone else's fault, anyway," said clinical psychopath.

That maybe the most insane thing I have heard...today.

So… not a mistake at all?

Can we get Thom Tillis off our tv now?

Ya that's what happens when you live an unexamined life. So fucking sure you're right you never stop to reflect on your own or humanity's past. It's a character flaw not something to be proud of you fucking numbskull

FFS

You shouldn't have listened to thousands of Democrats about this administration, but you should listen to me now." - Thom Tillis

Fucking coward! You fucking knew! Shalom

The information I had at the time was, he was unqualified. He had never managed anything effectively.

Such a pompous ass

Scum

WTF? What “data” was he looking at? How many zeroes were behind the dollar sign?

The stink will stay with him for the rest of his life

I buy Coward & a dick!

He was an unqualified alcoholic with no experience managing anything except a make up brush in a Fox News studio. What data is this man talking about?

= „I was an idiot - but i am still an idiot“

Glad Tillis is leaving

Data?

The data was drunk dunk tank Hegseth came from a couch on Fox.

The data you had at the time was that he was a drunk domestic abuser, and constituents like me made sure you knew that before you voted to confirm him. Maybe if you had actually listened to your voters? 

What an asshole.

“I did what I was told” -the data
