Per Travis Akers on Twitter, he’s resigning.
EDIT — no one else reporting this, so take it for what it’s worth
Amateur doesn’t even begin to describe it. He has 0 qualifications. None. Anyone who ever claimed to support our troops, or whoever claimed to care about meritocracy (over DEI for instance) should want this shithead put in the trash can. He’s no good. He’s actively bad. You don’t give these types of people a chance ffs.
Wow. Who could’ve guessed an alcoholic ex-Fox News anchor would be a total disaster?!
Incompetency starts from the top.
„The White House has doubled down on its defense of Hegseth despite the widespread backlash.“
I want the guy gone but don’t see this happening. Trump’s desire to want to say he was right outweighs his desire to have a better SecDef.
Hillary Clinton is a saint compared to Trump and his minions.
That’s an insult to amateurs.
Being an amateur at least implies there is a tiny smidgen of competency to begin with. Pete fails all-around.
“Amateur” describes 100% of the Trump administration. The real concern from MAGA is that he got caught.
Yes who could’ve possibly predicted that an alcoholic moron with literally zero credentials might not be qualified to lead the world’s most powerful military
That’s Laura Loomer’s decision./s
Watch them do give Hegseth the boot but put someone like Flynn in place. That’s what I worry about
Don Bacon isn’t a MAGA rep, one of the few republicans left with any spine
Only kegseth? Suuuurrrree
Don Bacon isn’t what qualifies as a “MAGA rep”. Article wrongly giving off the impression that there is a push among Republicans to fire him.

Protocol Pete is doing it all wrong. Usually when you fire off a signal flare, it’s to get something off of your ass. When Protocol Pete fires off a signal, it’s to tell any Saudi-rooted journalist and the world when and where to be.
Send him back to foxnews, where his skill in lying can be put to good use.
Trump can’t actually fire people, because it would admit to a failed hiring. Maybe Trump can get the Pope killer to do it.
Who’s next on the bench of Trump’s ghoul gallery? Maybe the store manager of the McDonald’s Trump did that terrible campaign spot at? Or maybe the dump truck can occupy the SecDef role? Trump saw Herbie recently, he probably thinks the dump truck is alive.
More like a tourist.
Anybody who voted to confirm him needs to take accountability. Unfortunately, accountability is dead.
Duh.
Hire a guy with no experience running one of the biggest organizations on the planet and he fails.
And he is so arrogant he takes no guidance from any of the people working for him with decades of experience, instead he fires them.
No shit.
A Pro drinker though, and a really great racist and sexist.
Maybe the real DEI hires were the Hegseths we met along the way?
Worst cabinet member ever
He’s a two-year-old walking around a big boy pants.
These are Trump loyalists leaking on Pete his own people quit on him because of it they fill like Pete was undermining Trump
He was a weekend fox news contributor. He is uniquely unqualified
Is there any other profession besides politician where a complete lack of experience is considered a good thing?
Call me crazy, but I don’t want a political „outsider“ running an organization or department where a fuck up can cost lives.
He is the reason DEI exists. He is a wealthy white guy who is only where he is because he is a white guy. He is the personification of incompetence and privilege.
That’s a very, very generous take. What he actually is, is a totally unqualified alcoholic, most likely drunk on the job, frat boy.
There’s a reason this shitbag was never given a command larger than a platoon.
He’s no less competent than most of the cabinet.
That bar is so low it’s hard not to trip over.
Calling Hegseth an „amateur “ is an insult to amateurs. An amateur would have at least a basic skillset and have a pretty good idea of what the fuck is going on. Hegseth has neither of these. He’s entirely unqualified and out of his depth.
You know the idea of „fake it til you make it“ ? Hegseth is so far out of his depth he doesn’t even have a fucking clue where to start faking it.
Taking away recreational games to focus on „warfighting“ ? Fucking seriously?
The correct term is „wannabe“ or „pretender“…….or just „douchebag.“
I’m shocked! Shocked!
No shit. We said so months ago.
MAGA claimed that he, someone who has never head an entire MAJCOM, let alone the entire military, was fully qualified merely because he was in the military.
This entire administration makes MAJOR mistakes over and over.
This complete imbecile being kept on is putting the national at risk. The only reason he is still here is because Trump doesn’t want to be seen as ‚losing‘, especially against the left wing media. So, he’s literally putting his own petty insecurities over the safety of 300 plus million. Next level narcissism.
And Pete Hegseth is 45 YEARS OLD. He’s not some 22 year old who doesn’t know any better.
At what point does/should someone grow up? This guy’s less than 5 years from 50 and he still acts like he’s in junior high. His disastrous personal life alone tells you everything you need to know about this middle-aged failure.
If only the House had the authority to start a process that might remove an administration official… If only
Previous secretaries of defense were much higher rank for a reason.
Drunken amateur
How about locking him up. I hear it was a popular course of action for some emails on a server once. Seems to fit here as well.

Just so people don’t forget the names of the people that thought he was a good choice.
The question is who would he replace him with? Tucker Carlson? Kyle Rittenhouse? The My Pillow guy?
Oh man, they’re going to be so mad when they find out Trump isn’t qualified either.
