Pete Hegseth is unfit to serve as Secretary of Defense

Get the Point!

While public outrage about President-elect Donald Trump nominating "Thing One," disgraced former Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz, to serve as Attorney General was loud enough to convince just enough Senate Republicans to urge Gaetz to stand down and refuse the nomination in lieu of not being confirmed, "Thing Two," disgraced former Army officer and current Fox News host Pete Hegseth, continues to march steadily towards a confirmation hearing in the Senate come January!

Pete Hegseth

If you are well aware of why I described Gaetz as "disgraced," meaning his predatory sexual towards underage girls and at least one boy, but are unaware of why I use the same to describe Hegseth, do know that:

1. In 2017, Hegseth paid an undisclosed amount of money to settle a sexual assault case brought against him by a female colleague;

2. According to Jane Meyer of the New Yorker, Hegseth was forced out of leadership positions at two advocacy groups, the Veterans for Freedom and Concerned Veterans for America, due to “financial mismanagement, sexual impropriety, and personal misconduct.”

3. Meyer notes that a whistleblower complaint from the Concerned Veterans for America alleged that Hegseth was often publicly intoxicated at events and during one group visit to a strip club, tried to join the dancers on stage while his work subordinates watched the bacchanalian revelry.

4. Keeping with the drunken Frat Boy theme, Hegseth and his male staffers at the advocacy group divided female staffers into two categories, "party girls" and "not party girls," before pursuing them for sexual relations—with at least one incident leading to sexual assault claims against the would be Secretary of Defense.

5. A separate whistleblower complaint alleged that on or about May 29, 2015, a drunken Hegseth loudly chanted at an event: “Kill All Muslims! Kill All Muslims!”

To be clear, President-elect Trump knows (or should have known) this information about Mr. Hegseth, but he simply does NOT CARE; in his childish crusade against "the Establishment" in Washington, Trump has sent a clear message that his administration will not be served by the "best and the brightest," but by the dim witted and most loyally sycophantic servants that he can find! To our chagrin, there isn't much that can be done to offset many of these nominations no matter how ill qualified a great many of these soon to be cabinet secretaries are based upon resumes and curriculum vitae that are sorely lacking in depth!

But Hegseth, like Gaetz before him, should be pressured to decline the nomination to lead the Department of Defense! Like Gaetz, his resume is painfully light to lead the very Department charged with defending America against all enemies—both foreign and domestic—but more crucially, he lacks the character to lead a department that is filled with women and Muslims who serve it and in our nation's armed forces each and every day! These civilian and military employees deserve a boss that, at minimum, isn't some drunken lech whose behavior towards women is so offensive that even his own MOTHER wrote the following email to him during his 2018 divorce proceedings:

“On behalf of all the women (and I know it’s many) you have abused in some way, I say get some help and take an honest look at yourself…I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth...” Mrs. Penelope Hegseth,circa 2018

Folks, if your own MOMMA has a problem with your character, then so MUST the American public! To that end, I ask each of my readers to contact BOTH of the Senators from your state—as many times as you can—and tell them that you OPPOSE Pete Hegseth's nomination for Secretary of Defense!
