Anonymous GOP senators pressure Trump to remove Pete Hegseth
Several Republican senators are anonymously telling reporters they want President Trump to remove Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, citing growing frustration with his leadership. Senators criticize Hegseth's management style and recent personnel and policy decisions that they say have weakened trust within the GOP caucus. The pressure puts Trump on the spot over Cabinet stability and could force a personnel choice that affects Republican unity heading into upcoming legislative fights.
Unnamed GOP senators connected to JD Vance are losing confidence in Pete Hegseth after ousters of Army Chief of Staff Randy George & Navy Secretary John Phelan. “The hollowing out of incredible leadership at the Pentagon has been a big concern,” said one GOP senator.
Matt Ahmer19This implies that they had confidence in him in the first place. That would be their biggest mistake.
scienceman007.bsky.social13I’d love to know why they had confidence in him in the first place.
constantjoy.bsky.social9The GOP senators are the ones that confirmed Hegseth. Perhaps they should have done a little bit more deliberation before their decision. It didn’t appear like they did much at the time. Common people with common sense thought better.
badPuppy6Gee. Ya think? Who would have thought that a Nazi weekend talk show host wasn't going to be a competent Secretary of Defense???
Maybenever5What was their first clue? Fuck them. Every one of them votes to confirm this clown show propaganda host. They shouldn’t act surprised that he’s an incompetent lunatic. They’re no different from him.
The First Millennial4“Unnamed GOP senators”. Profiles in courage.
masspatriot.bsky.social2Unnamed? C’mon, grow a pair! (And I mean that whether male or female)
The Real Carolina2GOP senators are just now losing confidence in Hegseth? So they really are as dumb as they appear on television.
