President Trump’s nominee for Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, answered questions before the US Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday morning.
As expected, Democrat Senators are using the confirmation hearing to smear Hegseth.
Democrat Senator Mazie Hirono (HI) sounded drunk as she accused Pete Hegseth of getting drunk at work.
Last month the media attacked Pete Hegseth for his so-called drinking problem, citing anonymous sources.
NBC News, citing 10 current and former Fox News employees, reported that Pete Hegseth’s drinking worried his colleagues.
Hegseth’s colleagues Dan Bongino and others defended Hegseth after the latest hit piece.
Worked with Pete for years. This is absolute BULLSHIT. https://t.co/qyH0i2Kunk

As a former Fox producer, I’ve never heard this in my life.
Everyone spoke highly of him and still does til this day.
I noticed the employees are anonymous. https://t.co/7SmwHQ7993

I have routinely sat on the couch with @PeteHegseth for 8 years. Not once did I suspect he had consumed anything other than an egg sandwich and coffee before going on air. pic.twitter.com/vjDQUpV9il

Mazie Hirono pushed the fake news story about Hegseth as she heavily slurred her words.
