Pete Hegseth's confirmation as secretary of defense following a tie-breaking vote underscores the contentious political climate surrounding military nominations. Unlike his predecessors, who enjoyed overwhelming bipartisan support, Hegseth faced opposition from key Republican senators and Democrats alike. This article critiques the media's role in opposing certain appointees by sharing details of targeted hit pieces aimed at Trump-era Department of Defense nominees, and it raises concerns about the implications for democracy when protest votes fail to lead to systemic change.
The vice president votes in the affirmative and the nomination is confirmed. With that Pete Hegseth became the secretary of defense, tasked to keep the republic safe from internal enemies and external invasions.
This clearly shows something. The president deserves to get his appointees, but what about the massive propaganda machine for derailing anyone who might threaten the uniparty system?
The keen-sighted among us were already aware of a few hit pieces, the latest one being against some Trump DoD picks, naming, among others, Dan Caldwell, Michael DiMino, Tulsi Gabbard, and Elbridge Colby.
One 'scoop' against Tulsi Gabbard, for example, warns that there's a clique of Republican senators who are wary of her, without actually naming even a single one of these senators.
