GOP: Hegseth did 235 pushups this morning! He shits bullets! [View all]

Also GOP: He will shatter into tiny pieces should Dems get another five minutes to ask questions.

The above quote from Eric Columbus on BlueSky a few minutes ago.

Just about sums it up. The way I'm following this is by recording the hearings and watching on delay, forwarding through the R kiss ups and Hegseth's gish galloping. I would like to applaud the Dems for excellent questioning and going at him as strongly as possible. No Monday morning quarterbacking here.

Tammy Duckworth and Tim Kaine were especially effective, but Elizabeth Warren also stood out. I think Hegseth was warned not to treat Duckworth too dismissively considering her status as a wounded warrior, but he could not answer simple questions from any of them.

But I still get the feeling that the R's are all going to vote for him.
