This is the guy is who Tangerine 2.0 wants to lead the Department of Defense.
And as to skill-set, there is no doubt that he has never led any organization of even one one hundred thousandth that size. He bankrupted a charity he ran, with only about 100 employees.
Then, as to “character and integrity” — he’s admitted that he WILL (probably!) stop drinking, if/when he is confirmed as Secretary of Defense.
On that dimension, a new sworn statement has appeared at the Senate hearings, in which the second ex-wife’s sister in law (who has since divorced Pete’s brother) alleges he was so abusive that Pete’s second ex- had a “safe-routine” all mapped — for escapes, and that she had, on occasion locked herself in the closet to avoid his abuse.
Here’s the scoop:
…Senators received an affidavit Tuesday from the former sister-in-law of defense secretary nominee Pete Hegseth in which she says his behavior caused his second wife to fear for her safety. The receipt of the affidavit comes after Senate Armed Services Committee staffers were in contact with Hegseth’s former sister-in-law for several days….
And sadly, this is exactly the kind of guy with whom Tangerine 2.0 works best — false bravado, around weaker foes — but will always fold — in a battle of equals, or against his betters.
In fact, he had no business being on air for Faux, we now are learning.
But this is who Trump wants to lead hundreds of thousands of able, fierce, hard working courageous women soldiers?!
Damn. And of course the Powerline boys are mum — because some of them call him their drinking buddy.
But also “don’t offend the Dotard” — is their continuing mantra.
