Democrats are still all sorts of butthurt over the fact that they couldn't stop Pete Hegseth's appointment.
Next to Trump, he may be the one they complain the most about, barely inching JD Vance out.
For example, John Harwood really thought he had Pete Hegseth THIS TIME ...
"Pete Hegseth wasn’t tapped as Secretary of Defense and War and Lethality and Pull-Ups because of his visionary plans to restructure the military.
— John Harwood (@JohnJHarwood) September 27, 2025
"He got the job because Trump knew he'd never say, 'No, sir,' and because he looks good on TV.
"That’s it." https://t.co/Dstb9Pl7sd
HA HA HA HA HA HA
Oh, wait, it gets better.
"Hegseth, a veteran, carved his niche railing against the 'woke military.'
— John Harwood (@JohnJHarwood) September 27, 2025
"But his natural habitat is the makeup chair, prepping to play 'serious person' on TV.
"When his nomination looked doomed, he saved himself by theatrically yelling at reporters.
"Trump loved it."
You know, Harwood was psyched about the piece, although we're not 100% sure he actually read the whole thing. Brit Hume with the most polite fact-check we may have ever seen.
The author quoted in this post also writes in the same article that he has "full-blown Trump Derangement Syndrome." And as the quote below suggests, he thinks we need the Pentagon to be headed by someone who will defy the commander in chief. https://t.co/QYgt4mT72z

YA' DON'T SAY.
But but but ... Hegseth!

There are left-wingers in the military especially in the Pentagon. Pete has re-organized things at 5-Wall in a way more overall beneficial to good order in the military. Recruitment is up massively. Does that sound like a yes-man is running the place?

Sounds like someone who actually understands how our military should function.
And you know Harwood can't stand it.
