(I’ve looked and apologies if I missed the existing thread)

How has this been going? Just came up for air from work and realized he’s in the gauntlet currently.

Not watching. The Deep State/Pentagon hates Hegseth more than the Democrats do. So, I'm expecting he's dealing with a bunch of overly emotional angry "questions" and chastising. Already saw a headline that Kennedy was grilling him.

Unless he's spoken twice from what I saw there wasn't much to it. I definitely wouldn't say he was "grilling" Hegseth.

I was always told that the Deep State loves war. Isn't Hegseth the warrior king?

So far it seems republicans having been trying to help and focusing on the farm funding assistance and not the Iran war.

Dems have been using quotes made by Hegseth and Trump in the past basically saying what can be believed about the status of the war

Ah, okay. That's what a Forbes headline said a little whilte ago and had a photo of Kennedy speaking into his mic, looking stern.

If you took a shot every time he whined about the Biden administration, you would be deceased.

That’s been pretty much his entire testimony.

Kennedy usually throws out one comical line or two to get headlines

A lot of talk about an "illegal war" and some questioning about the 400 billion that was to go to Ukraine. A lot of questioning of Raizin Cane about advice given to Trump. RC says he does not publicly convey advice give to the CIC.

Just looked again and a couple more headlines about Kennedy vs. Hegseth. Again, I didn't watch it... but apparently there was something there.

lolwut. Isn’t he helping to justify $350 billion more beyond our $1 trillion defense budget? He loves war and is fanatical about Israel. What more could the MIC want?

Ossoff’s robotic arse is cracking me up. It’s like AI questioning Hegseth

Damn Gary Peters got Hegseth to lose his cool a bit there.

Wish Hegseth wouldn’t let Peters of all people get to him like that. He had handled the day well but clearly struck a nerve.

Just watched Kennedy’s questioning… he basically said straight talk and clear answers. Not sure he was harder on them than other senators
