“I’ll stop drinking if I am confirmed as Secretary of Defense” is one of the funniest things ever said
in senate testimonyEDIT: I’m paraphrasing, trying to find the actual quote
EDIT2: turns out there were two incidents that I conflated
In short, Hegseth did say he would stop drinking if he was confirmed as secretary of defense. […]
He made such a promise in a December 2024 podcast interview with political commentator and journalist Megyn Kelly.
[…]
During his Jan. 14, 2025, Senate hearing, Hegseth also said he would no longer drink if confirmed. Hawaii’s Democratic Sen. Mazie Hirono asked him: “You recently promised some of my Republican colleagues that you stopped drinking and won’t drink if confirmed. Correct?”
Hegseth responded: “Absolutely.”
An secretary of defense dying from alcohol withdrawal was not on my “list of things to potentially happen.”
It’s zero wine hundred hours somewhere

WHAT RED BLOODED MAN DRINKS WINE???1?
I can guarantee that somewhere out there is an anti-woke winery for elite operators that sells the most disgusting red blend outside of a space bag.
Jesus was an effete libcuck. A real man would have turned water into Kentucky Bourbon.
I like to imagine on the way home he stopped at 7-11 for a couple tall boys
“I like beer” energy.
Can’t stop won’t stop posting
The Sec. of Defense should be required to do this.
Let’s do radical transparency Hegseth and just livestream all war planning
and of course the problem is the leak, not what they’re doing to Yemen
A family that communicates is a healthy family! My dad never shared anything with me. 🥺
At least he never implicated you in various crimes against humanity.
Amazing
