Pete Hegseth Issues Major Statement As Media-Driven Controversy Swirls

Trending Politics News
By Chris Powell
December 4, 2024

Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s embattled pick for defense secretary, doubled down on his commitment to securing the role in a fiery statement on Wednesday. As questions swirl over his qualifications and past conduct, Hegseth vowed to “fight like hell” to prove he is the right candidate to lead the Department of Defense.

However, his path to confirmation is far from certain. Republican senators have raised concerns about allegations of misconduct from Hegseth’s past, including his tenure as a Fox News host and his prior military service.

Hegseth described meeting with Senators and the Senate Armed Services Committee as a “wonderful process.” He continued, “That’s what Donald Trump asked me to do. Your job is to bring a war-fighting ethos back to the Pentagon. Your job is to make sure that it’s lethality, lethality, lethality!”

“Everything else is gone. Everything else that distracts from that shouldn’t be happening. That’s the message I’m hearing from Senators in that advise and consent process. It’s been a wonderful process.”

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

Maybe it’s time for a @SecDef who has…
Led in combat. Been on patrol for days. Pulled a trigger. Heard bullets whiz by. Called in close air support. Led medevacs. Dodged IEDs.
And understands—to his core—the power of this photo…because he’s been on that knee before.

We don't hate the Democrat news media enough. Of course, the WashPost looks only at who is receiving the bronze star and whether they like him. If it's someone like Robert Mueller, or some local soldier, the WashPost terms it “one of the Army’s most prestigious awards.”

It looks like things are turning in fasvor of all of Trump's cabinet picks. Maybe these establishment loyalist Senators are figuring out they can join Mitch and retire in 2 years, or they can get behind Trump.

If Pete goes down, Kennedy and Tulsi will go down too. At that point, good luck getting any even remotely non-establishment pick through for any role.

Put differently, succumbing to these attacks is effectively ceding the entire cabinet to the whims of Democrats.
The party that was unilaterally rejected at the ballot box will be the same party dictating the Executive office.

I want to thank @SenJoniErnst for taking the time to meet with me again today. She has long been a leader on many important defense issues—which I deeply appreciate. I welcome her ongoing counsel. I am grateful for Sen. Ernst's support through this process.
