Jack, can you believe this? Donald Trump wants Pete Hegseth—an unqualified pick with a record of sexual misconduct, public drunkenness, and anti-LGBTQ+ attacks—to run the Pentagon.

A recent poll by Civiqs for Daily shows 48% of voters oppose Hegseth, but the GOP is still backing him. Today, the Senate holds the confirmation hearing for Hegseth. Check this out: 

 

🤬 MAGA goes all in for Pete Hegseth ahead of Senate confirmation hearing. 

We will not forget how unqualified and offensive this pick is. Remember this?:

🤬 Hegseth’s list of red flags grows with absurd Jan. 6 conspiracy theory. 

 

Trump wants to reward this MAGA-loyalist, Fox News host with deeply questionable character and competence for a position that would be in charge of the entire U.S. military. We must keep sounding the alarm and hold him accountable for these picks before it’s too late. The Senate cannot confirm Hegseth!

Thank you for staying in the fight,
