Connecticut Senator Lizzie Warren thought she could grandstand over Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth’s Cross tattoo, a symbol historically known as “Deus Vult” (God wills it), by claiming it could make him an “insider threat.” Perhaps Hegseth should have told her to just think of it as “War Paint.” Also at Hegseth’s Senate Confirmation hearings, Mazie Hirono (D.-HI) suggested he might “invade Greenland.”
To his credit, Hegseth handled these situations well. Still, should a nominee’s ability to endure such disgusting venom and ankle-biting really bear any weight on his fitness for office? As guardian of the most potent military force on the planet, shouldn’t senators be concerned with issues such as Pete Hegseth’s expected relationship to NATO? Instead, by their actions, we must presume it to be a more significant qualifier that he is able to endure the caustic, female-dog rants of the Democrat post-menopausal hormone imbalance caucus.
Though thoroughly reprehensible, none of this should come as a surprise. Before the hearings even began, Democrat “leader” Chuck Schumer promised to use them for a personal vendetta, turning them “explosive” through such antics in response to Republican grilling of Democrat nominees in the past. By this, Schumer made it clear that Democrats have not been interested in suitably vetting, but in politicizing.
He can give no account for the actual contrast in nominees, and the inarguable unfitness of the atrocious freak show put forth by the Biden Cabal (and readily confirmed by Democrat Senators). So he sinks further still, into a “tit for tat” effort and denigrating worthwhile Trump candidates. By such puerile behavior, Schumer and the Democrats proved they have no interest in gathering information to properly “advise and consent.” Their minds were already made up in blind opposition beforehand, so they just sought to gain politically. In the process, they endangered the Nation, trashed the Constitution and disgraced themselves.
Hard leftist Senator Alex Padilla (D.-CA) took the cue, and wallowed at the lowest depths of the leftist swamp/sewer as he “questioned” Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi by throwing out absurd “yes or no” snares, then incessantly interrupting her whenever she attempted to clarify. Clearly, he did not want answers or information, but only to make his own “statement.” Bondi did right to patiently explain to him that it’s not her job to do his “homework” regarding what actually is in the Constitution, and specifically the 14th Amendment. That was Padilla’s real issue. Open borders leftists insist that America must foot the bill and accept the invasion when anchor babies are involved. […]
