Pete Hegseth represents a shift away from the wokeness that has infected the United States military. This is possibly the biggest reason President-Elect Donald Trump tapped him to be the next Secretary of Defense and the vast majority of Republicans on Capitol Hill can support this, at least for the public.
But Hegseth also represents a less-interventionist approach to our national defense and that’s a non-starter for the NeoCons. This is why some Republicans, led by Senator Lindsey Graham, are latching onto ridiculous claims by NBC News that he’s a drunk.
As Libs of TikTok noted on X:
Current and former co-workers of Pete Hegseth are defending him saying the newest hoax the Democrats are spreading about him is complete bull****

Here’s Graham responding to the report, which only cites anonymous sources:
. @LindseyGrahamSC who wouldn’t blink twice before sending your child to go fight in Ukraine find the unsubstantiated allegations that are being slung in the media about Pete Hegseth to be very disturbing.
For some reason, he doesn’t find disturbing the fact that Lloyd Austin,… pic.twitter.com/pRd0zu3m9a

According to spectacular independent journalist Nick Sortor, Graham is the driving force behind the push to upend his appointment:
JUST IN: Capitol Hill sources tell me Lindsey Graham is the leading force to DERAIL Pete Hegseth’s nomination for Secretary of Defense
WHY ARE WE ALLOWING LADY GRAHAM TO DICTATE OUR ADMINISTRATION?
Put him in his place!

Conservatives have been coming out in full force to support Hegseth and denounce reports that at least six Republican Senators are against his confirmation:
If you stand with Pete Hegseth repost this and let’s show the fake news that Americans wants him as Secretary of Defense.
Every GOP Senator should vote to confirm his nomination. pic.twitter.com/ONPdLkzWGc

NEW: NBC claims that Pete Hegseth had a drinking problem during his time at FOX, citing anonymous employees.
FOX employees who worked with Hegseth for years immediately call the story false.

You know Pete Hegseth is a legitimate threat to the establishment and military industrial complex by the orchestrated campaign being implemented to take him down. pic.twitter.com/fcU6J0xYjy

"PETE HEGSETH IS A HERO, HE'S NOT A DRUNK!" @damonroberts is sick and tired of Republicans like Lindsey Graham, who work with the Democrats to destroy Hegseth's reputation. "This is crap!" @slickricksports @rickdelgadorad @lfs6b pic.twitter.com/kg2vsYl81K

I’ve been on set with Pete Hegseth for Fox and Friends and at various events for Fox Nation. I’ve been with him in the green room. He’s been on my show a half dozen times.
That he’s some problematic drunk is laughable — but there’s nothing funny about these coordinated smears. pic.twitter.com/a8oRKwuMvl

Legacy media does not get to choose who President Trump has in his cabinet. And while the U.S. Senate has the power to advise and consent, they do not have the ability to make the pick, either. That means it’s up to President Trump and Pete Hegseth to decide if they will move forward.
Patriotic Americans across this nation support Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense. It would be a huge mistake for President Trump to back away now and it would be an even worse mistake for Republican Senators to withhold their support.
Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
Visit Prepper All-Naturals and use promo code “veterans25” to get 25% off plus free shipping on Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and other high-quality cuts of beef. It’s cooked sous vide, then freeze dried and packaged with no other ingredients, just beef. Stock up for the long haul today.
Lindsey has always been ready to send our sons and daughters into harms way and their possible death even when it was just so he and his fellow politicians could profit. Not this time Lindsey. Your lies have caught up with you and your buddies. We need to see a full audit of the Federal Reserve, Epstein’s Client List, Diddy’s Client List, The list of every congressman and senator who used the slush fund to cover their sexual abuse of aids and others and we need to see the complete list of names of every recipient of interest off the national debt. If we find ou there is any congressman or senator who is on any of these list then we start talking about rope and lamppost. “We The People ” are done!!
Somebody needs to put some chili pepper powder in Lindsey and his boyfriends lube.

Hegseth probably rejected Graham’s proposition at urinal in the Senate washroom.
There is a lot of truth in this statement. Lindsey is an extremely vile and untrustworthy type of human.
This is pretty funny considering how many times Kamala Harris has appeared drunk on both TV and the campaign trail. She was even wasted at a campaign stop at a local high school. You could see the uncomfortable looks on the kids faces as she rambled on, slurring her words.
They don’t have a problem with alcoholics in Washington. They have a problem with somebody turning off the spigot of weapons contracts.
Hegseth has a terrible personal history of gross irresponsibility. It’s fine for running for office, obviously (e.g., Donald J Trump), but not so fine when attempting Senate confirmation. The Senate is composed of 100 hypocrites. Hypocrites have much higher standards for others than voters do.
That old queer needs to go!
Maybe someone needs to “out” little LIndsey!………….One good turn deserves another. I think he still lives with his Mommy.
Throw the guy out. Organize now to primary him and win. S C patriots get heavily involved in your Republican Town Committees/precincts. Get elected to the e board. With deep benches, recruit and endorse a candidate who is a patriot and electable.
Hegseth is a man who should not be in a position over women. He has proven over and over again that he cannot keep his zipper up. Could that lead to blackmail or leverage over his job? Remember Swalwell and the Chinese spy? Also, loyalty is a trait that can only be proven by action and he has proven over and over that loyalty is not high on his list. Governor De Santis would make a much better choice for fidelity and operating experience. He has also been in the military, served in Congress, and has run one of the most populous states in the country. He has led the FL National Guard and worked with foreign governments. Hegseth was only a Captain in the National Guard and wrote a book about what is wrong with the modern military. He was in combat but that does not make him a chief executive officer of the second-largest financial division in America.
Time to either, shake some gay skeletons from lindsy’s closet, or expose his decades of treason to the people.
Fire Graham instead! He’s been a worthless RINOCRAT for years.
Pete Hegseth is too macho for Miss Lindsy.
Hegseth is too macho for Miss Lindsy.
Graham will continue on as long as he wants to stay in office. The majority of SC voters don’t follow politics as closely as they do the Homer Simpson show. They merely vote by name recognition.
If Lindsay Grahmnasty votes against Trumps nominee, it shows how much a hypocritical Liar he really is. He constantly states that he votes for Demonrat Justice nominees because the Demonrat gets to choose whomever he or she wants.
It should be the same for a Republican, instead of being a pain in the side of Republican presidents, he should support them even harder.
