The drama surrounding President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet picks could rival any reality show, especially with characters like Jen Psaki in the mix. The former White House Press Secretary turned MSNBC talking head recently spilled the beans about the bipartisan attempts underway to sabotage Trump’s nominees. It seems both sides of the aisle are working hard to block appointments they dub “dangerous.” Apparently, the definition of dangerous only seems to apply to candidates who are loyal to Trump.
It’s not surprising that pressure from the liberal media and political elites is part of the playbook. In a twist that is almost too predictable, Psaki pointed out how Matt Gaetz was forced to withdraw his name for consideration as attorney general due to sketchy allegations floating around. Gaetz, much to the delight of some, got swept under the partisan rug while others are left wondering which nominee is next on the chopping block.
In what can only be described as a hit list of sorts, Psaki turned her attention to Pete Hegseth, a former Fox News reporter in contention for a defense secretary role. The left is gearing up for another takedown, proving they can’t be too comfortable with anyone who has a conservative bent—especially someone who once shared a screen with Tucker Carlson! If they succeed in knocking Hegseth out of the running, it seems they’ve already set their sights on Hawaii Representative Tulsi Gabbard and none other than Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
It has become painfully clear that anyone with a hint of independence, much less any modicum of alignment with Trump, is fair game for criticism. Gabbard, who has been wrongfully labeled a Russian sympathizer, and Kennedy, branded an anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorist, are just two names in an ever-growing list of targets. The left is not missing a chance to attack, reminiscent of a pack of wolves circling their prey—except these wolves are armed with accusations and media sound bites.
They really mean "dangerous to them"…
Hopefully, Hegseth will be the rock the crash on, he seems tough enough.
Trump's team should keep in mind that these people are not in good faith…https://t.co/om6hvPUwu7

As Psaki shamelessly noted, if one nominee gets the boot, it opens the floodgates for others to be taken down as well. This isn’t just a game of musical chairs; it’s more like a gladiator arena where only the most politically favorable can survive. Republicans are now worried about their own ranks undermining Trump from within, as was highlighted by Rep. Chip Roy of Texas. Instead of uniting behind conservative values, some are playing both sides to ensure their political careers stay intact—whatever it takes to dodge the fallout of associating with Trump.
The political theater continues to unfold, a grim reminder that the fight against the deep state is far from over. As “dangerous” character assassinations unfold, one thing is for sure: the left is determined to make sure anyone aligned with Trump knows that their dream cabinet is about as feasible as finding a unicorn at the county fair.
