In addition to his many personal shortcomings, Pete Hegseth couldn’t even hold down a job leading a small nonprofit, he has absolutely no business managing an organization with nearly 3 million employees and a budget in the hundreds of billions.

Trump’s unqualified cabinet nominees for every role are terrible, but Pete Hegseth is one of the worst.

Since his confirmation hearing is today, I wanted to show why he shouldn’t be trusted to operate a Pez dispenser, much less serve as Secretary of Defense.

They’re asking Pete Hegseth about the wrong tattoo!
Pete Hegseth’s tattoos are not a harmless expression of his Christian faith—they are white nationalist symbols.

⚠️ Trump’s defense secretary pick Pete Hegseth was flagged as a military 'insider threat' ahead of Biden’s inauguration because of the 'Deus Vult' tattoo located on his bicep.

Biden: I know some in the incoming administration.. they don’t even believe climate change is real. I think they come from a different century. They are wrong. Dead wrong. It’s the single greatest existential threat to humanity.

Donald Trump should be in prison. It’s beyond a travesty of justice that we are just one week away from this orange convicted felon being on White House property again. A place he should be banned from for life.
