For a short while, Pete Hegseth’s nomination to be our next Secretary of Defense appeared to be on less than sound footing.
Trump had already lost Matt Gaetz’s attorney general nomination, because there simply were not enough votes for his confirmation.
This from townhall.com.
Then, reports trickled in that Ron DeSantis might be tapped as Hegseth’s replacement.
Do not doubt that contingency plans were made, however, Trump is not going to abandon Hegseth. Gaetz withdrew when the writing was on the wall, but Hegseth appears to have the support, though it will still be a rocky and likely humiliating road to the office of the defense secretary.
The communist/globalist crime syndicate and their sycophantic mass propaganda media will recycle and likely manufacture fake news stories about Hegseth’s personal life. And we must expect skeletons to be erected. Afterall, each member of the senior staff of the Obiden Regime hosted an array of skeletons they wokenly paraded for We the People to sadly experience.
Couple this with the undeniable reports that Biden was “mentally cooked for four years,” as well as top Obiden officials “pushing policy undemocratically”—and to think ‘no one elected these fools.’ So, may they please spare the ‘qualified’ talking points. No one the Obiden Regime picked was qualified; this is why Conservatism won the election and woke broke radical Liberal socio-economic suicidal Obamanites lost.
Hegseth, while speaking with Megyn Kelly, revealed what Trump told him when he was officially asked to serve his country again.
As noted, Trump said to Hegseth:
You’re going to need to be tough as s**t.
Further:
But you’re the man for this moment. I chose you because you’re the guy that will put the warfighters first.
And:
We haven’t had that.
We need a guy who will kick down doors and who understands how wars have consequences, deterring their frequency, and understanding how to fight and win them if that becomes necessary.
As Hegseth was leaving, Trump said:
Hey, Pete, I got your back.
And:
It’s a fight. They’re coming after you. Get after it.
Hegseth has served a generation in the military, earning two Bronze Stars, which The Washington Post said were worthless medals.
However, they described them as one of the most distinguished awards in the US Army when Biden awarded such an honor to an intelligence analyst in 2021.
Hegseth will likely be confirmed. We the People will soon experience a new day at the Department of Defense.
