It's like watching a bad Episode of Super Man.. nothing but Lies
All he did was support trump nonsensically and ignore or deny every issue that disqualified him, supportrd by rep senators. it was shockingly partisan.
Absolute egregious man and once again demarcates roll over. Absolutely disgusted by this Country and leadership.
Peteys NDA is working like he had hoped!
Petey has definitely graduated from the school of Donnie!
That man is not qualified but neither is trump so he will be confirmed! So sad…
rip hegseth and give grezzball a pass….TDS NBC
Where I grew up, you’ve protected your most precious things, and there was land, military ships, war zones, and yes, women, or women do not belong on the front line or women, or one of the most precious things. We are supposed to protect.

Look, Pete said he wouldn't drink as Sec. of Defense. Trump will not put up with drinking.
This is absolutely terrible. The punishment doesn't fit the crime. If CA hasn't learned anything from this, then you really have to wonder about them. Very sad.
Another deplorable who will probably get nominated by the deplorable republicans.
He is not all qualified.
All of you people act like you have never been drunk, plz hypocritical trash
He cannot answer yes or no
America is banana republic 3rd world IQ70.
Saddening however a great global comedy show.
Sounds like he has been practicing his lying. The big lie—point blank: “I didn’t do it.” He has sold his soul.
Who is the woman in the GREEN DRESS HE PUSHED walking in the door???????
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Hegseth will serve at the convenience of the President. If he's not right, who thinks Trump will not fire him? So relax. Pete looks worth giving the chance. I, too want a change.
Ok Premier Doug Ford. You are costing us billions, how do you make it good?
The SENATORS should look at them in the MIRROR …
This guy is a joke 😂😂😂😂
Didn’t his Fox NEWS colleagues come forward telling about his alcohol related behavior during the program?
IM ASAME TO HAVE TRUMP AS MY PRESIDENT ABD HIS RIDICULOUS WIFE AND NOW THIS OTHER CLOWN………COME ON AMERICA……
He didn't say that they just twist words.
Pete Hegseth has strong desire to be the Boss of Pentagon or other military departments, why He did not apply for those high level military positions in the past 7+ years?
Pete Hegseth has been working for Fox News since 2014 and was co-host of Fox & Friends from 2017 to 2024. Now, Pete desperately needs some US Senators and leaders to promote him to be the Boss of Pentagon and manage 3,000,000+ military troops? I guess it’s ok if it was an ordinary company but not ok to be the Boss of Pentagon!

He couldn't run a lemonade stand. Joke on USA, again.
Stupid. No one cares
"Anonymous smears."
Why couldn't he just say FALSE?
You guys are professional journalists. Cutter is an insect repellent, not an independent state in the Middle East. At least give it a 'good old college try' to pronounce Qatar correctly.
The horrors of the blasphemy—-Seems Mr. Hegseth's definition of "WE" is Trump, Jesus and himself…
Meet the Press NOW – January 14
This is among the reasons why election matters
You know these senators are all getting hammered on the weekends and doing a little inside trading.
