Dear John, we need to talk about this.
Today, the country watched in horror as Trump's confirmation hearings centered around National Defense.
Pete Hegseth—a former Fox News commentator with a history of inflammatory rhetoric, financial mismanagement, and personal misconduct—faced his Senate confirmation hearing for Secretary of Defense. If his sneering response to serious allegations is any indication, he is wholly unfit for the role.
A Danger to America’s Safety and Integrity
During the hearing, Senator Jack Reed systematically dismantled Hegseth’s credibility, citing:
1.) Racist and sexist remarks that divide our military.
2.) Financial incompetence that bankrupted a nonprofit under his leadership.
3.) Personal misconduct involving excessive drinking, partying, and troubling allegations of sexual assault.
Hegseth’s own words from his book, American Crusade: Our Fight to Stay Free, further reveal his divisive mindset:
He claims “the modern Democratic Party literally hates the foundational ideas of America.”
He openly declares “the left is not our friend.”
How can someone who views half the country as the enemy be trusted to lead a bipartisan military charged with protecting all Americans?
The Pentagon Is Not a Fox News Studio
Hegseth’s sneer during Senator Reed’s pointed critique said it all. He isn’t interested in accountability—he’s interested in partisan theatrics. The Department of Defense requires leadership with integrity, competence, and respect for the law. Hegseth’s track record of failure, misconduct, and divisiveness makes him a threat to the very principles he claims to defend.
America Deserves Better
This isn’t just about one man—it’s about the safety, security, and unity of our nation. Allowing someone like Pete Hegseth to oversee an $900 billion defense budget is a risk America cannot afford to take. We must stand up against this nomination and demand leaders who represent all Americans, not just those who fit their political agenda.
We are going to use our platform to call out every mess MAGA brings to our door, and we want your help in calling out the dangers they pose to the country. We know we deserve better, so we need to demand better. Join us today.
