Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, said on Thursday she can't support Pete Hegseth to be President Donald Trump's secretary of Defense.

"Given the global security environment we’re operating in, it is critical that we confirm a Secretary of Defense, however, I regret that I am unable to support Mr. Hegseth," she concluded in a lengthy statement posted to X.

In her reasoning, Murkowski cited infidelity, "allegations of sexual assault and excessive drinking" and Hegseth's previous comments on women serving in the military.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

"The leader of the Department of Defense must demonstrate and model the standards of behavior and character we expect of all servicemembers, and Mr. Hegseth’s nomination to the role poses significant concerns that I cannot overlook."
I certainly don't condone or excuse adultery at all, assuming he did admit to it, but have to laugh at Murkowski's extreme piety - especially in light of the wisecrack at one of the earlier confirmation hearings about Senators' drinking and philandering (will have to search for the link).

Don't get distracted by Sen. Susan Collins news about Pete Hegseth. She's been factored into his confirmation math for weeks. He will be confirmed and become the next Secretary of Defense.

Stay the course.

Sure seems like a RINO smear campaign.

It's important that we get a good conservative Sec Def.

Obviously Murkowski doesn't care about the security of Alaska, so just let the Russians have it back.

It’s absurd that Pete Hegseth's nomination even made it to the floor of the U.S. Senate.

No UpChuck, what is absurd, it that you are still in office.

It's absurd that Schumer believes people give a damn about what he has to say.

Woman Who Accused Pete Hegseth of Domestic Abuse Makes Eyebrow-Raising Claim She Was 'Promised' Something

Bonchie  |  12:08 PM on January 25, 2025


Pete Hegseth was confirmed as Donald Trump's Secretary of Defense on Friday evening  .  .  .

.  .  .  Days before the vote, Danielle Hegseth, who is the ex-wife of Pete Hegseth's brother, came forward to accuse the new head of the Pentagon of domestic abuse. In an affidavit, she claimed Samantha Hegseth "feared for her life," and once had to hide in a closet to escape Pete Hegseth's wrath. The problem? Samantha Hegseth, who was the person supposedly abused, categorically denied the allegations and threatened to get her lawyer involved.  .  .

.  .  .  With the confirmation vote in the books, Danielle Hegseth has responded, and while parts of her statement are not surprising, something very interesting is buried in it.
