Sen.-elect Slotkin: “I think we’re really at risk of politicizing the military in a way that we can’t put the genie back in the bottle.” Pure gaslighting. They’ve spent years politicizing the military and steeping it in wokeism. That’s about to end, and they’re not handling it well.
The nomination of Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense has elicited significant reactions from both Democratic circles and the media. The Left does not want their Marxist policies (DEI) dismantled. So they are attacking Pete in the same fake ways they do Trump. We all see through them. Here’s some details and examples – and see the clip below – why they fear Pete.
- Allegations of Sexual Misconduct: Reports have surfaced about a 2017 incident where Hegseth was accused of sexual assault, leading to apprehensions regarding his suitability for the role. The Times
- Lack of Senior Military Experience: Critics point to Hegseth’s limited experience in senior military or national security positions, questioning his preparedness to lead the Department of Defense. Time
- Controversial Views on Military Policies: Hegseth’s public opposition to women in combat roles and his stance on diversity initiatives within the military have raised alarms about potential policy shifts under his leadership.
- Media Criticism: Outlets have highlighted Hegseth’s previous comments and actions, suggesting they may not align with the values expected of a Defense Secretary.
- Political Reactions: Democratic lawmakers have expressed concerns over Hegseth’s qualifications and past conduct, indicating potential challenges during the confirmation process.
- Fox News: In an editorial, Fox News praised Hegseth’s military background and media presence, stating, “Pete Hegseth brings a unique blend of battlefield experience and a clear vision for America’s defense strategy.”
- National Review: An opinion piece highlighted Hegseth’s commitment to military readiness, noting, “His dedication to restoring the armed forces’ focus on core competencies is exactly what the Pentagon needs.”
- The Wall Street Journal: In a commentary, the Journal emphasized Hegseth’s alignment with conservative defense policies, asserting, “Hegseth’s perspectives resonate with a strong national defense and a pragmatic approach to military engagements.”
- The Federalist: An article commended Hegseth’s critique of “woke” military policies, stating, “His willingness to challenge the status quo is a refreshing change for the Department of Defense.”
- Breitbart News: In a feature, Breitbart highlighted Hegseth’s advocacy for veterans, mentioning, “His firsthand experience and advocacy make him a strong voice for those who have served.”
This is what they’re so afraid of:

NEW: Newly appointed Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on reforming US military leadership: Anyone “involved in the woke sh*t has got to go…you have to reestablish that trust by putting in no-nonsense warfighters in those positions who aren’t going to cater to the socially correct garbage.” FULL REMARKS: HEGSETH: There’s a chance to course correct it, but, it would take the new a new Trump administration going after it really hard. RYAN: How would they correct it? Well, first of all, you got a fire. HEGSETH: “You’ve got to fire the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and obviously, to bring in a new Secretary of Defense, but any General that was involved, General, Admiral, whatever that was involved in any of the DEI woke sh*t has got to go.”
“Either you’re in for war fighting and that’s it. That’s the only litmus test we care about. You got to get DEI and CRT out of military academies. You’re not training young officers to be baptized in this type of thinking. And then, you know, whatever the standards, whatever the combat standards were, say, and, I don’t know, 1995, let’s just make those the standards. And as far as recruiting to hire the guy that, you know, did Top Gun Maverick and create some real ads that motivate people to want to serve.” “And there’s lots of other ways in which you could identify who gets promoted and what. But there’s an ethos change, I mean, there’s a reason we’re not, people don’t want to serve because they don’t trust that their senior leaders are going to have their best interest in mind in combat.”
“I know there were mistakes made on our tours all over the place. But I, at least for the most part, had a sense that my senior leaders were committed to the completion of the mission for the right reasons, and maybe there were strategic differences and all that other stuff. And it wasn’t always perfect, but now that trust is broken. And you have to reestablish that trust by by putting in no nonsense warfighters in those positions who aren’t going to cater to the socially correct garbage.” The remarks were made in an episode of The Shawn Ryan Show released November 7.
