They Confirmed Him Anyway -- Digby

https://digbysblog.net/2025/11/30/they-confirmed-him-anyway/



From Pete Hegseth’s book which every Senator had access to when Trump nominated him. They knew what he was and they knew that Trump was a sociopathic moron. I imagine they thought the generals would be a “guardrail” but they aren’t. (Those who might have been willing to do it have been fired.)

This is the simple-minded, delayed adolescent we have in charge of the U.S. military because all of those Republicans betrayed America.

I have personally seen guys like him break down and cry if the Mess Decks Ice Cream was secured for cleaning, or if the Ship's Store ran out of Doritos.

He was safe and secure in Kabul, surrounded by a security perimeter that would make Fort Knox blush.
