There, that should do it!
My unequivocal support of Pete Hegseth as head of the Department of Defence! From my comfy chair here in Hong Kong.
When I first saw Trump’s nomination of Pete, I thought,“wow”. And also “why”?
All I knew of Pete was that he was a presenter on a Fox News weekend program.
Then I learned that he’s a doubly-decorated war veteran. That he’s a graduate of Harvard and Princeton. That he’s written extensively on war and veterans affairs, that he founded and headed charities to help war veterans. That he’s written extensively on problems within the DoD.
Then it made more sense.
For sure he’s going to be a disrupter. That’s why he was nominated. And that’s why they hate him. The DoD bureaucracy.
He’s strongly against DEI programs, of Critical Race theory taught in the armed forces. He’s all for focussing on the primary aim of the military: lethality, lethality, lethality.
For that, he’s opposed by the establishment. Aka The Deep State.
Who come at him with a gaggle of anonymous complaints about his treatment of woman and of alleged. Drinking problems.
On his side, hundreds of Army Seals have come out publicly to support Pete. They will march en masse to Congress to express their support. His Fox colleagues have come out to defend him and have put their names to their support.
So it’s a matter of — do you believe uncorroborated, anonymous slander? Or on the open, clear, unequivocal support from named people who know him well?
Megyn Kelly interviews Pete in detail.
Will Cain gives strong support.
