The GOP had three votes to lose. They lost them. Pete's in.
Thanks to Dem incompetence and corruption for attempting to foist a "dithering and diminished" "feckless dementia-ridden" Former Truck Driver on America, then elevating the Dingbat who, in a direct assault on democracy, was fobbed off on the electorate without a vote. America gave us GOPs a historic landslide and, like it or not, Pete's in.
Vance stepped in after Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., voted no for Hegseth, leaving the chamber at a 50-50 tie.
“I thought I was done voting in the senate,” Vance shared on X, accompanied by a laughing emoji.
McConnell outlined his reason for voting against Hegseth in a statement released shortly after the voting concluded.
He pointed to the department’s nearly $1 trillion budget and 3 million personnel as a daily test in management.
“Mr. Hegseth has failed, as yet, to demonstrate that he will pass this test. But as he assumes office, the consequences of failure are as high as they have ever been,” McConnell said in a statement.
“Mere desire to be a ‘change agent’ is not enough to fill these shoes. And ‘dust on boots’ fails even to distinguish this nominee from multiple predecessors of the last decade,” the statement continues.
FYI, pb agrees with McConnell. I blame you lockstepping woke Swampcultists that this guy's now running the Pentagon.
