https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3lfpp4vurqs2mHIRONO: Would you carry out an order from President Trump to shoot protesters in the legs?
HEGSETH: *dodges question*
HIRONO: That sounds to me that you would comply with such an order. You still shoot protesters in the legs
HEGSETH: *silent*

(83,484 posts)I left my place when I heard, "You support Jesus Christ" or something to that effect.
It should be noted that the Constitution is explicit in stating "there shall no be no religious test" for a federal position of trust.
I am currently in my favored Coffee Shop, enjoying a Cinnamon Roll and excellent coffee, prepared by people I enjoy being around, no longer listening to Hegeseth's stupidity. For his 18+/- years in the NG speaks volumes to me. He didn't even make it to Major in all of that time, never was in danger, and treats women like shit.
All evidence points to him ripping off two Veteran Organizations.
This man is an embarrassment to all of us who served dutifully.
Edit: my bad, spelling

(213 posts)She stated, and it's on the record, but recanted, after her oops admission that, "Her son was a serial abuser of women"
Moms always know, and he has been married three times and an alcoholic, surely someone who should be in charge of the Dept Of Defence ?
P.S. And he works for the Fox Propaganda Network, where lies and misinformation are the daily reports.

While they did probably make some money; I'm glad C,S,N, & Y recorded "Ohio".

(19,481 posts)When Americans are shot at and possibly killed by our Military for peaceful protests, the Press/Media had best not run and hide, or sugar coat this as something it is not.
For the Press is also covered in the 1st Amendment to the US Constitution for now, as is the right to FREE SPEECH.

(672 posts)It's awful and anyone who has volunteered for the military should be offered a volunteer exit from the service rather than serve under this bastard. I'm a a female, combat veteran. He will do a lot of harm to our military. Unfortunately, I know a lot of veterans who follow his lead and it is frightening that we are here.
