>In a searing exchange with Senator Mitch McConnell Wednesday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth revealed the mental gymnastics at play as administration officials take a soft approach on Russia amid its ongoing war on Ukraine.
>“Number one, who’s the aggressor and who’s the victim in the conflict?” asked McConnell.
>“Russia is the aggressor,” Hegseth said, quietly.
>“Which side do you want to win?” McConnell said.
>But the defense secretary couldn’t provide a simple answer for that.
McConnell has finally found his spine.
He’ll blame his wife’s crib notes. Signal chat was blocked.
Ugh I agree with Turtle on this one, what a world. Was even agreeing with Elon last week and Loomer was speaking truth for a hot second last month. Fuck our lives, fuck Rupert for gas lighting the nation into this shit storm, Randy.
So, Hegseth didn’t say who he wants to win. It would have been very easy to say Ukraine, so presumably he’s cheering for Russia.
too little, too late, mitch.
OMG, the cat is definitely out of the bag. Trump has a „go-easy“ policy towards Putin. He wants a a bro-mance.
>Mitch McConnell: *Are you a Russian agent?*
>Pete Hegseth: *No. I can unequivocally say no.*
>also Pete Hegseth: <*stupid old man. I outsmarted him. Of course I’m not on the FSB payroll with an Employee ID number LOL. But man, as long as Vlad keeps them brown envelopes coming I’m good!*>
Somewhere there lies the truth.
Hegseth has alcoholic face.
Crocodile tears on the way out… way to go Mitch…
Fucking traitor
“As we’ve said time and time again, this president is committed to peace in that conflict. Ultimately, peace serves our national interests, and we think the interest of both parties, even if that outcome will not be preferable to many in this room and many in our country,”
Sounds like they are just fine with Russia winning.
*Frankenstein shocked that his monster is acting like a monster*
If any 1 person is to blame for where we are, it’s you Mitch. I hope you think of nothing else in your final moments.
Moscow Mitch can take a long walk off a short pier. His leadership, and lack of morality, fostered this cult and handed them the power they abuse.
GFY Mitch.
When the worst person you know makes a good point.
I have zero respect for either of these men
Turtle boy is responsible for this. He can kiss my ass and go to hell, along with his BFF Hegseth.
The Trump administration: brought to you by Mitch
Mitch needs to sit down. He has already done way too much damage
What’s the point of questioning when words are absolutely meaningless?
If Hegseth simply said „Yea we want to help Russia win“ what would’ve been the consequences realistically? Not a single member of Congress would take any different action than they will today. Trump wouldn’t magically change course on his agenda. Fox New wouldn’t suddenly start questioning Trump. And MAGA wouldn’t care in the slightest.
These guys have power now. The time to stop them was the election. Now it’s 1000% more difficult to do so. What good are words?
Ppl here saying Mitch McConnell is trying to atone. He’s not. He’s just as evil as he has always been. What you’re seeing here is his long-established and correct hatred of Russia coming out.
Imagine if he voted to impeach Trump after inciting an insurrection. The exchange wouldn’t have taken place on that timeline.
Unless Establishment Republicans gain a spine, they be complicit with traitors.
Too many remain loyal to a corrupt party that’s in bed with Putin. It’s vile
Mitch is responsible for the Republican Party turning to MAGA and Trumpism. It’s to late for him to be cute with questions
The U.S. cannot go against Russia as long as Trump is in office. He owes them his power. He will let them rape Ukraine with China’s blessing and then they will come for us.
Hegseth doesn’t like having his feet held to the fire, he’s big mad. When he’s not in control he loses it, it’s very obvious and very dangerous to the security of the United States.
Moscow Mitch!
Fuck Mitch McConnell.
He is the one who stacked the Supreme Court and the courts.
He is the one who kissed the ring.
He is the one who put Party before Country.
Fuck you, Mitch! You should have voted to impeach instead of burying everything.
Now WE are all paying for your partisanship.
Mitch is going to try so hard to have a “McCain saved ObamaCare” moment to try and salvage his reputation before he retires. Not going to work, his legacy is one of destruction especially after stealing a SC seat from Obama, then ramming through ACB literal days before an election.
Lmao this is the clown show that republican voters chose over Kamala. Americans are truly the world’s embarrassment.
“Everyone look at me, I care about our nation now!”
Lindsey Graham right behind him, grilling Hegseth, when these two Republican men have protected and supported Trump the entire way.
Too little too late, ya melted turtle
Fuck Mitch “the grim reaper” McConnell. He is the reason we are in this fucking mess, because he has no goddamn balls.
Moscow Mitch remembered that he’s a US Senator all of a sudden?
“Mitch McConnell pretends to grow a spine now that his career is winding down and he doesn’t have to worry about self preservation anymore.”
