Only One Question

Pete Hegseth is up first

As Congress begins confirmation hearings today for Donald Trump’s candidates for key federal posts, I offer simple questions Democrats should ask each.

When Donald Trump nominated you, did you consider saying no because you felt unqualified for the job?

If not, why not?

If yes, why did you accept anyway?

Hell, I’m no more qualified for these posts that Trump’s “look good on TV” nominees.

"What is the Trump team’s rebuttal to Hegseth’s lack of management experience? As incoming White House chief of staff Susie Wiles told The New York Times last week, 'That’s what staff is for.' ”TERRIFIC! How do I apply to be CEO of Apple? thehill.com/newsletters/…
