The hearings for Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth were disastrous… for Democrats.
The game plan was to ‘genderify’ the hearings by focusing on the infidelity allegations and the question of women in combat, and to let female Dem Senate members take the lead. The outcome was Sen. Elizabeth Warren and a few others scolding a calm Hegseth. The optics of it were bad again… for Democrats.
Usually it’s not too difficult for senators to make a nominee sweat. But that requires doing research and asking probing, damning questions, while remaining in control. Since much of what members of Congress do is hold hearings, this should be a basic skill, and yet somehow they blew it. It’s never a good situation when the interrogators are more flustered than the subject. And Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a former lawyer (and horribly unpleasant human being) usually maintains better self-control and message discipline, came off as bitterly deranged.
Few people would have been watching the hearings anyway, but the Senate Dems knew they needed just a few moments to go viral and then get picked up late night shows who would spin them up again to make them go viral. It’s telling that those moments didn’t occur. At least not any that are useful to them.
The larger takeaway is that the Dems still haven’t recovered from the election and don’t have a plan. The things they care about, like women in combat, are of very little interest to most Americans. Dems are struggling to bridge a gap on social issues that is no longer pointing in their direction.
I watched a lot of that Senate “hearing” with Hegsworth. It was the usual D-Bag attempts to reject a Republican appointee.
And yes, their inquisition was weak.
It’s too bad that these hearings go off in that direction when the focus should be on if the nominee was qualified for that position.
My position on women in these roles is the same as always. If a woman wants to do this, and she is capable of doing it as well as a man, let her do it. If you have to lower the standards to make a quota, you’re going to get people killed.
As in qualifications for being a firefighter. Can you carry a 60 lb. oxygen tank on your back while climbing a ladder? If not, stick to a desk job.
So true! Not being PHYSICALLY able to do a job SHOULD be disqualifying! The left pushes so much INSANITY it’s hard for one with a “smidgeon” of intelligence to comprehend! They pushed for Disabled person to be Air Traffic Controllers – even BLIND people! There are jobs that a blind person can handle, but NOT an Air Traffic Controller!! Same way with a woman who cannot handle an air tank, full gear, and perform the PHYSICAL tasks required to be a Fireman! VERY few women can succeed there and the Public should not be forced to bear the risks and results of such lunacy! I love women and KNOW from being a Husband and Father that being a woman is NOT an easy life! God made women to be strong in ways that men are not and made men strong in ways that women are not! And those Job Requirements? There not JUST to keep women out of a dangerous, physical job! All those fat, flabby, weak men can’t do it and should not qualify due to reduced standards! Look no further than LA City/County for a “Shining” example of reduced qualifications!
What are the qualifications for any of these positions? Nothing!
The script usually entails a third rate failed lawyer-politician asking questions to another failed lawyer-politician. Lack of personal morality is frosting for the cake. But they are political club members and are used to the ridicule they receive and willingly take it for the money.
The S.S. Democrat is sailing full speed into the Icebergs and is not slowing down
Oh contraire, the DemoCraps DO HAVE A PLAN….. And it is to allow Islamists to kill us in our own homes. But first they will not kill us as we are the world’s largest cash cow. Each pay check we send our income taxes to the DemoCraps and RINOs in Wash. D.C. for them to send all over the world to moo slims and communists, and to boomerang back to the DemoCraps bank accounts.
Once they have milked all our money, THEN they will turn loose the Islamo nut cases to kill us.
The Libs are too concerned with Justice against the last 4 years. of their reign …lots of questions to Pam Bondi about Wray and Kash Patel, alot of hypotheticals, and what iffs. It looks like they really don’t want Justice to prevail with the right people in charge.
Incredible. The Dems continue to demonstrate the well-worn definition of insanity: Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. It’s hard for me to believe that they will continue to hate their way through the next four years.
