Texas MAGA Congressman Chip “Colonel Sanders” Roy on Friday defended would-be Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth by saying “we’ve had some indiscretions in our past and things like that.”
Weird because we’re unaware of Secretary of State nominee Marco Rubio ever having paid a settlement to a woman and had her sign an NDA to stay quiet. We would be surprised if Rubio gets fewer than 60 votes. In all likelihood it’ll be more than 70. Even that might be lowballing it. They tend to be kind of clubby like that. But there are at least a few other Trump nominees from outside Congress who are going to have confirmation hearings that last a half hour and more than a handful of Dems vote for them. Pete Hegseth is not one of them. It’ll be a shitshow, if he even makes it.
