Donald Trump has selected Pete Hegseth as the next Secretary of Defense, and the left is already in a tizzy. Like a bad horror movie, they’ve attempted to ‘Brett Kavanaugh’ another great candidate, launching a coordinated smear campaign that would make any middle school drama queen blush. Initial sparks of outrage flared up hot and heavy, but thanks to Trump’s unyielding support for Hegseth, the flames have calmed to a simmer. While some unsavory rumors have been squawked out by nameless sources—allegations about affairs and drinking—the reality remains: it’s just Washington nonsense. In a city where backroom boozing and cheating are about as common as overpriced coffee shops, this kind of gossip doesn’t hold much weight.
The truth is, if this is all the Democrats have, it’s time to call the vote and move on. Those who ply their trades in Washington know that these accusations are mere distractions, and if the best the left can come up with are tales that perform better in high school hallways than in the Senate, then Hegseth should sail through confirmation. Amidst the cautious inquiry, Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin from Oklahoma didn’t hold back during the proceedings, unleashing an all-out assault on the Democrats’ faux righteous indignation. Mullin’s passionate speech served as a reminder that personal conduct hypocrisy runs rampant on the left.
Senator Mullin pointed out the glaring double standards held by his colleagues, asking just how many of them have shown up to work with a dented reputation or a history of failed marriages—a gentle jab at the do-gooder demeanor masked behind their policy critiques. Democrats have had their fair share of scandals, yet they want to parade around as moral arbiters when it comes to Hegseth’s candidacy. The cheering crowd for Hegseth only got louder, as Mullin made it clear that dragging a good man through the mud doesn’t scare them.
After a GOP Senator Dropped These Remarks, Just Confirm Pete Hegseth Now https://t.co/wkpvmmUHWH

As the circus continued, Democrats tried to throw a few punches, but no one was more amusing than Senator Mazie Hirono of Hawaii. It’s almost entertaining to watch these theatrics unfold as Hirono, forever showing her true colors, swung wildly but failed to make contact. Elizabeth Warren, the self-declared Native American, and Tammy Duckworth, that would-be warrior, tried to set the stage for a knockout, only to remind everyone how unserious their questions truly were. Duckworth came off more like a child yelling for attention than a senator expecting a real answer.
A simple truth emerged from the chaos: the Democrats may howl and moan, but they lack the votes to derail Hegseth. With their moralizing falling flat amidst their own track records, it’s evident that this opportunistic charade isn’t going to work. The confirmation of Pete Hegseth is all but assured, so the studio audience might as well sit back, grab some popcorn, and enjoy the rest of the show. The war of words is done, and victory lies ahead for those in favor of Hegseth leading the charge at the Pentagon.
