Fans of President-Elect Donald Trump’s pick think Hegseth did an awesome job and that Senate Democrats mostly made complete fools of themselves.
Pete kicked ASS today. And Democrats embarrassed themselves, as usual.

He’s able to create a lot of energy and contain his emotions !
It's just a shame none of those democrats are self aware, so they don't know how utterly braindead they looked to the rest of the world.

Elizabeth Warren was her usual insufferable self.
One poster was impressed Hegseth went after ‘journalists’ who were pushing ‘anonymous source’ lies about him for their Democrat buddies.
Pointing out during the confirmation hearings that the media is biased and unfair and pretty much pushed the unfounded attacks against him is almost unheard of in a confirmation Hearing

Pete Hegseth is strong and simply qualified.

The more he talked, the more I like him
Let’s get it done.
The hearing was a circus, witb Democrats gladly suppling several clowns. The whole event was largely performative and used by Democrats to grandstand and showcase their unhinged lunacy - they certainly did not disappoint in that regard.
