Sen. Duckworth explains why she says Hegseth is unqualified to lead Pentagon

[rightwinger]

But, she lies about the physical standards. So yes, it's ironic she claims he isn't qualified.

I still think she's just jealous.

Duckworth is more qualified than Hegseth

How so?

Hegseth was a Major
Duckworth was a LTC

Of course he’s unqualified – that’s the point; indeed, that’s the point of all of Trump’s appointments: to fill the cabinet with unqualified partisan hacks willing to implement Trump’s reckless, irresponsible agenda harmful to the American people.

Hegseth, for example, would have no problem ordering soldiers to shoot Americans engaged in lawful, peaceful protest in the legs, as Trump advocated for in his first term.

Hegseth led troops in the field. Duckworth was undeployable.

How so?

She was a NG helicopter pilot when she got hit in Iraq.
She never led troops in battle, but she was a hero.
Pete is more of a student of Pentagon policy, writing several books on the subject, so IMHO Pete is more qualified to be SECDEF

She was a co-pilot. Her bird got shot down. At what point was she a hero?

There is no scenario under which a Trump appointee would be qualified in your eyes.
They are automatically disqualified simply by virtue of being selected by Trump as far as you and your band of merry robots is concerned. It is already a well-known fact that any selection will be 100% opposed by the Democrats with the possible exception of John fetterman who has now become the enemy of the left simply because he refuses to March and lock step with them.

I'll kindly stop dropping goose shit all over the board with your AI rantings.

I keep telling people not to feed the geese because they shit all over the place.

Tammy looked and sounded completely unhinged at the hearing.

Her voters are worried about her mental state at this point. She can’t handle her emotions

They all sounded unhinged.

Duckworth is a brainless bitch.

You can deflect all you want. This guy is a total piece of shit. He had an affair, with his producer, that resulted in a child. Would that shit float in the military? Have an affair with a superior officer resulting in a child?

I mean he is a sick twisted shit. Tatoos proclaiming some kind of religious mandate and yet can't even keep the most basic of the ten commandments. If anyone deserved a damn ass-whoopin it is him.

His biggest responsibility in the military. Train the Afghanistan forces against the Taliban. How the fuck did that turn out. I mean how did he train them. Get as much pussy as you can and screw the rest of the shit.

Furthermore, he is just nasty. I don't get it. Talk about DEI. Gaetz, this dude. Look, I am sorry you are uglier than homemade shit, but damn, does that really warrant affirmative action. Give precedence to ugly ass dumb shits that have to pay for their pussy. WTF?

Oh fuck you hypocrite..... When did adultery become something that the Democrats were concerned about in candidates? Please go take a shit and put some whipped cream on it and eat it.

The biggest joke on the planet are the pedophiles, adulterers, insider trading thieves and obnoxious scum that call themself senators.

Risking her life for her country
You don’t think wounded warriors are heroes?

What has happened to todays conservatives?
They used to stand behind our wounded

Anyone who has been in that position regardless of what their political choices are afterwards deserves recognition.

Trump is a hero for getting a Boo Boo on his ear
Duckworth is not a hero for losing her legs in combat

In combat….yes

Why don’t Republicans get that?

That's called, "doing her job".

Depends on why those soldiers got wounded.

War heroes are the troops that go above and beyond the call of duty. Just getting wounded isn't automatic hero status. That word has been way over used.
