Pete Hegseth has had everything but the kitchen sink thrown at him.
He’s trying to defeat the Washington, D.C. “Swamp” on his way to being confirmed as the next Secretary of Defense.
And Donald Trump Jr. heard one prediction about Pete Hegseth that is bad news for Democrats.
Hegseth doesn’t back down from relentless attacks
President-elect Donald Trump nominated former Fox & Friends Weekend host Pete Hegseth to serve as Secretary of Defense to be a change agent.
Hegseth, a decorated combat veteran with the Army National Guard, is an outspoken critic of the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) regime that’s taken over the Pentagon.
Democrats treat DEI as an article of faith, so he’s been the victim of a vicious character assassination.
Hegseth has faced a series of hit pieces in the media based on anonymous sources that have falsely accused him of committing sexual assault and drinking on the job.
The Fox News star has stood his ground in the face of unrelenting attacks from the media.
Momentum for his confirmation is shifting in his favor after he met with Republican Senators, and working-class Americans put grassroots pressure on Senate RINOs to vote for him.
Senator Joni Ernst (RINO-IA) waffled on supporting Hegseth but saw the light after she was faced with the threat of a potential primary challenge.
If Hegseth survives, all of Trump’s nominees do
Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle called Hegseth the “tip of the spear” during an appearance on Donald Trump Jr.’s Triggered podcast.
“It seems like people are coming back around to the mandate that the American people really showed on November 5,” Trump Jr. said.
“I think Hegseth is really the tip of the spear here in that . . . how he led his guys into war, into battle. He’s leading Trump’s cabinet picks into confirmation here,” Boyle explained. “I very much feel like he’s the tip of the spear. If he gets through, they all get through.”
Boyle thought that if the Washington, D.C. “Swamp” was able to collect a scalp on Hegseth, it would give them momentum to come after Trump’s other nominees.
He highlighted how Hegseth has been able to shift things in his favor.
“How do you do it? He started fighting right,? Like, I mean, he wrote. He wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal,” Boyle said. “He did an interview with Megyn Kelly, which was fantastic. And he’s been taking the message directly into meetings with senators, and he’s winning them over one by one.”
Boyle thought the media overplayed their hand with the attacks like they did during the 2018 confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
“When you see these as fake establishment media attacks with — all based on anonymous sources, it’s backfiring in a big way,” Boyle continued. “They know what it’s like, having gone through all of this stuff. And I think that having gone through a lot of these hoaxes and smears from the established media.”
“They tried tanking a guy,” Trump replied. “He has two Bronze Stars. So they’re like, he’s not qualified. I’m looking at Lloyd Austin, and, you know, triple masked. I’m saying, I don’t know.”
Pete Hegseth could turn the tide against the media smear campaign and help shepherd the other Trump nominees through the confirmation process.
