Hegseth must be defeated.

‘Might’ not be qualified????? C’mon CNN, do better

Having Hegseth as our DoD Secretary is nothing if not setting our military up for failure. youtube.com/live/PJSAcWt...

Elect a clown, expect a circus!

It would help with the over crowding.

I don’t know that the word “unorthodox” completely covers just how crazy Trump‘s nominations have been. I don’t know if I could’ve chosen people who were more unqualified, corrupt, or pathetic than the nominees that he has chosen if I had a year and my goal was to choose freaks. Very sad!

That guy is war criminal and white nationalist!

White supremacy is not unorthodox, it is unAmerican. Stop normalizing white supremacy.

This headline should be about the allegiance to white nationalism and the tattoos that show connection the the Proud Boys. Stop failing. Stop normalizing the real dangers. #trumpwhitenationalism

Yeah, that's what what wrong with the Nazis, they were just "unorthodox" jfc, you people.

Where is your outrage?! Quit normalizing this!

... Or might be more loyal to Trump than to the USA or the rule of law out nation is based on.

All of this because Putin owns Trump's debt.

You've lost your audience. And Fareed Zakaria has lost his mind. Color me disgusted ..... appeasers.

Lol- we have seen this film before- we already know what's coming

Why did they vote for the child molester and whore anyhow?

So, party over country? Just say it.

Unorthodox? You mean his Cabinet of Criminals. Stop it, CNN. A message for Michael Bass: You used the Trump firehose to stay afloat while internet killed TV news. You sold him, 24 hrs a day. At least be honest: He a rapist, secret-selling, money-laundering faux President.

I don't understand this allegience....Some of these people are on tape saying Trump is stupid,horrendous etc.He can't run again.So what's to be afraid of?

Keep normalizing the abnormal

Fat chance

It’s all part of the plan. To test for fealty. Those who fail will suffer being primaried with Musk’s mountain of cash behind their opponent.

Let’s see if there is any drop of integrity in the Republican Party!

So many words, so little insight.

Why are we making pretend these Senators have autonomy? They will do whatever they are told to do

Hegseth, limited experience and a sexual assault past, what's not to like?

If Hegseth gets confirmed, he will stop JOKE WARS that have cost Americans over $4.2 TRILLION with most going to DC SWAMP MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX & $$s laundering back into the DC SWAMP RULING CLASS BUREAUCRATS' pockets! #Trumpwon2024 www.newsmax.com/us/defense-s...

You must stop reporting Trump’s Cabinet picks as unorthodox or controversial. They are unfit. They are dangerous. They are a threat to national security, national defense, the rule of law, and public health.

You mean Republicans have a conscience?

This is made up. Republicans will remain full MAGA for at least one decade

Those GOP members almost always bent to Trump's will the last time around. With Trump now having an even tighter hold on GOP, highly likely they will be even more supportive of his banditry & vindictiveness.

These destructive #Trump cabinet picks have deatheater #SteveBannon all over them. As with any gang member, shouldn't his supervised release conditions prohibit him from associating with the same people that led to his prior criminality? Where's #MerrickGarland? I know. Dumb question.

They so deserve it. 😂😜

Up for the JOB. The photo on the article is of a Rapist. Stop CNN. Better headline: “Will Republicans continue to let Rapists and Sexual Abuse Apologists Run our Government?”

Unqualified extremists. All with commitment to the destruction described in Project 2025 which you reported Trump had disavowed. As if. Kudos.

His selections cannot pass a security clearance is a little more serious than not up for the job.

Are you this naive?

This is kinda funny. They will get in line and do what they're told like they have for damn near a decade now. Absolutely no reason to believe that they will find a spine all of sudden.

Time to contact every republican senator to remind them they work for us we pay their salaries we vote for them. Their livelihood depends on us. Time to push back let our voices be heard.

Fake news cnn

“Unorthodox” is an example of understating that helped normalize Trump. Tell it like it is! These picks are obscenely unqualified and a danger to Americans.

Why speculating about Republicans ? They care only about sex (preferably abuse), money and power. They will follow Trump.

For comparison purposes.

When the mob reminds you that you are the enemy of the people and you are rounded up and herded off to the American version of Dachau I hope you have a moment of clarity as the doors to your cattle car slam shut behind you.

This is the easiest choice ever for Republicans. They will give Trump what he wants.

@cnn.com that is exactly why he is choosing these unquantified people. It is a test of his party's loyalty to HIM and not the country. Sadly, they will all be confirmed. Again, thank you for bringing this about.

“Unorthodox” No wonder so many people have no idea what the fuck is going on

Oh please, they will absolutely all fall in line. Nice try CNN, your incessant coverage of him since 2020 is part of the reason we are this trouble. Please do better.

You misspelled "catastrophic". And it's not "might", but "are deliberately chosen in order to" - but yes, I'm wishing U.S.Republicans all the "concerns" in the world. Too late, though.

Is this the guy you want in charge when Trump's abandonment of Ukraine and trade war with China starts an actual shooting war over Taiwan? China has been preparing for just such a war.

Or, for example, a rapist might be a bit "unorthdox". WTF is wrong with you guys? Why can't you call them what they are, batshit crazy affronts to political norms that are just a giant middle finger to every one of us. Fourth Estate my ass

It was immediately obvious that several of Trump's worst nominations were tests for the Senate (Gabbard, Hegseth, Gaetz, etc). If they confirmed them or at least signaled that they would, Trump would know they wouldn't stand in his way after he took office.

Disgusting. I thought you are supposed to pledge your allegiance and support to the constitution not a person. 🤦‍♂️

Who agrees that this headline is a joke “Might not be up for the job”? Sigh Think it’s time to unfollow @cnn Just a waste of time

I look forward to the coffee klatch discussion your network. So serious.

Isn’t “Unorthodox” a bit of a WEAK way to describe these picks? THIS is why we quit watching you. The picks are outright NUTS. Call it what it is, please.

"might not be" sanewashes the denizens of the #ArkhamAsylum

This character does not belong anywhere near TWH. NOT OKAY W THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. A measure of disgust. He is the People's call. Not Trump. Trump was hired for 4 years. Do not forget.

Trump is an old lame duck with a lame brain. Senators should have nothing to fear.

I think it’s called choosing between Trump and their constitutional duties…

CNN, tell it like it is, Orange monster is deliberately going to destroy our institutions for Putin. STOP WITH THE FLUFF BULLSHIT!

They care not about the Nation. Only about their own power.

The US is finished

We all know what happens to Republicans with a spine when Trump is involved

Fascist propaganda

Unorthodox = stupid and dangerous.

Using a soft word like unorthodox is a failure of journalism.

This man is not qualified to lead the armed forces! He has never had a real leadership role of any size, the we have the sexual assault accusations against him!

Just garbage, morally bankrupt charlatans and christofascists

This is what Republicans voted for, the end of the USA.

Unorthodox? Still sane-washing the bastard. Eating yogurt with a fork is unorthodox. Hiring unqualified Nazis requires a stronger response.

so we are using unorthodox instead of fascist? well, i guess people who reflect on the role of media in fascism will have to parse the roll of CNN blue sky posts at some future date. for me, i see how you betray fact to uphold fascists.

He’s the DEI hire he was worried about.

I see, @cnn.com . We are now calling appointees who are unqualified, dangerous, inexperienced, lying, corrupt, conflicted (of interests), immoral, disqualifying ... "unorthodox"? I see. This is how we got here.

Yes, let’s all be on tenterhooks waiting to see if Susan Collins will turn her concerns into action!

Allegiance to their cult leader is always their choice.

Can we take America seriously and not turn it into a frickin TV show.

Unorthodoxed?? Why not reword this as Criminal, not unorthodox?

Smoke and mirrors. Distractions allow for the last min. slip in. Trump is not in charge. He is the puppet to distract what's been in motion for a while. Some pretending to be anti-Trump. They fed you false hope. Think about it and let it sink in.

Ha ha Americans got what’s they voted for! youtu.be/LTJ9yvnvP_s?...

They will get in line and confirm them in because they will put the party and there reelection funds before the good of the country

Clown show

"Unorthodox"?

“Narrowly controlled”? It’s 53-47🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ Much better than the Democrats currently have.

The people don't get the vote for President. The electoral vote does. It was never proven most prominent than when Hillary Clinton lost.

From a entertainment perspective it might be good. From a country perspective holy crap.

They are all unqualified, degenerate idiots who don’t have a clue.

More after the fact reporting from CNN Maybe head to show Trump blowing and jerking off a microphone more people would’ve not voted for him?

They will pick trump. They always pick trump. Stop pretending it’s a question.

You’re smoking crack if you think the Republicans are gonna stand up to Donald Trump and his nominees

It will be much easier to simply abdicate by adjourning.

This whole party is a mess. Just throw them all away.

Let the shitshow begin.

Few to none republicans will ever vote against their dear leaders appointments. The Republican Party is a cult

I’d have to agree with them. I know I can’t be the only one thinking “what are Elon musk’s qualifications to work in within government?”

Republicans are not going to stand up to Trump. Period. They are going to rubberstamp his every whim. This article casts hope that Republicans may do the right thing. They won't.

I think you'll have at least two GOP senators voting him down-Murkowski and Collins-voting him down. It's a matter of finding a third.

How many times do you think people will fall for this myth that the GOP Senate will give any relevant pushback. They don’t have the spine for it.

Could force? Far too many of the choices would’ve been rejected from even being named on a potential nominees list. The senators are not beholden to Trump and should judge these people objectively.

Why are they worried? The country elected a rapist & felon as president to represent our country & and an old pinup playgirl as a first lady. The Republicans should remember what their opinions were when Trump first came on the scene. Before they were bought off by Project 2025.

Give Trump his cabinet! See what he can do.

The next shoe to drop. FBI director.

Ya think?

"unorthodox" ? By that do you mean asinine?

It won't. At the end of the day they are spineless cowards and will vote to approve any of his nominees to keep kissing his ass.

They better stand up and defend the constitution and stop worshipping Trump.
