Yawn, snore…it appears Ms. Quirk is obeying the bat signal to write nothingburger letters about Hegseth instead of explaining why we should listen to the Dems that have become the party of supporting criminals and terrorists over the American people. Ms. Quirk conveniently forgets Biden’s Secretary of Defense was basically a Secretary of Surrender, gifting Afghanistan to the Taliban, sending a tacit signal to Russia to invade Ukraine, and Hamas to attack Israel. Shameful. How far we had fallen under treasonous Biden. Fortunately, our (yes, our) great President Trump is rising to the challenge, again, with bringing back a Secretary of War. Have a Trump-tastic day!
Trump’s managing philosophy seems to be to pick people for important positions even less qualified than himself, to make sure he doesn’t get outshined. May be hard to do, but Hegseth was a good one from that perspective.
