'An Amateur Person' GOP Rep. Bacon Says Hegseth Must Go.

[0311]

Rep. Don Bacon, a prominent Republican on the House Armed Services Committee, became the first sitting GOP lawmaker Monday to suggest President Donald Trump should fire Pete Hegseth — calling the chaos at the Pentagon one reason why many Hill Republicans were privately uneasy with the Defense secretary’s nomination in the first place.

Hegseth has proven himself incapable for his position. He invited both his wife and his brother on to a classified chat AFTER he had invited a reporter from Vanity Fair on another classified chat. He zero experience with communications security. Both Russia AND China monitor chat he used. He has compromised U.S. Security and must step down.

Bacon is an Israel-firster, so who cares what he thinks.

The deep state hates Hegseth. Those in the Pentagon who got their stars promoting anti-American DEI, etc,. hate Hegseth.

But as the USSecDefense we have witnessed a huge uptick in men joining the military.

One of the first Republicans to publicly tell the truth about Trump's incompetence.

That's who.

So he's a liar. Good to know

Who???

You did read the title of the thread right. Hegseth in an incompetent boob. Congressman Bacon is retired Air Force General. He knows and he understands communication security, Hegseth's only qualification for his position that sycophantic follower of 47.

Being in the military doesn't confer competence

I'll wait and separate the wheat from the chafe.

Whatever you gotta tell yourself to cope.

Good is going to come out of this 2nd Trump Admniistration yet.

A lesson that America will never ever repeat again.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Democrats leak information and blame the people discovering the leak. Hegseth is doing an admirable job. Everyone that complains should be classed as a subversive and fired.

Being Fucked Snooze sycophant does not confer competence either. At General Bacon a back in the military and understands protecting classified material. Hedgehog know nothing and he is endangering our nation's security.

According to 0311 with 'one sided' information he/her is being fed.
Try waiting to hear all the truths. Remember when the father of the year
from Maryland turned out to be anything but father of the year?
Seems the left has no issues with getting ahead of their skis.

The primary reason I think Hegseth is doing a fine job is because you idiots keep trying to get rid of him.

If he was being bribed by Democrats you wouldn't hear dick about him in the news, unless he was giving an anti-Trump statement.

[Meister]

Well, it looks like the wheat was separated from the chafe, and
it ended up to be a big nothing burger.

Well, let's hear more of the lies from the left.
The left has Pete right where they want him.

 

[skye]

Influencer and podcaster Charlie Kirk lobbed another powerful hit against the uniparty by pointing out that under Hegseth, the military is thriving.

Charlie Kirk:

"When they come after Pete Hegseth, just remember everything they DON’T want to talk about…

Recruiting is up.
Morale is up.
Standards are up.
Efficiency is up.
America’s influence is up.
And most importantly, lethality is up.

What’s down? Only the influence of neocons and warmongers, and the use of the military to promote politicized nonsense. That’s what they want back — it’s not about some Signal chat."

If a Dem DOD did that, he would have to go.

Formern Pentagon Official Warns Department's Dysfunction Could Topple Hegseth.

https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/20/ullyot-pentagon-hegseth-chaos-00300695

The Pentagon is in “total chaos” and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is unlikely to remain in his role, according to its former top spokesperson, who painted a scene of dysfunction, backstabbing and continuous missteps at the highest levels of the department.

“The building is in disarray under Hegseth’s leadership,” John Ullyot wrote Sunday in a POLITICO Magazine opinion piece. “The dysfunction is now a major distraction for the president — who deserves better from his senior leadership.”

Ullyot, who resigned from the Pentagon last week, described a department in collapse. He accused Hegseth’s team of “falsehoods” about why three top officials were fired last week, saying they hadn’t leaked sensitive information to the media. He chastised Pentagon officials for how they handled revelations that Hegseth shared sensitive military information in a Signal chat, and he pointed to other leaks that caused embarrassment to the administration.
