Sometimes I’m just not sure if a Democrat is as stupid as he seems or if he really is that dishonest. Enter Elizabeth Warren, who decided to attack Pete Hegseth on Wednesday but only ran into a brick wall.
Hegseth, who was nominated to be defense secretary under Donald Trump, is currently facing backlash after The New Yorker published a hit piece claiming he had alcohol problems while running a veteran’s advocacy group. Since then, some of his former colleagues have publicly denied these reports.
Regardless, Democrats smell blood in the water, and Warren joined the fray with this post.

In 2023, over 29,000 active-duty soldiers were sexually assaulted, including more than 6 in 100 women in the military.
Many military personnel never report these crimes. Estimates suggest that attack rates are up to four times higher.
Pete Hegseth cannot be the Secretary of Defense.

When I read this I had to think twice. Isn’t 2023 right in the middle of the now outgoing Biden administration? Wasn’t Lloyd Austin Secretary of Defense at the time? Didn’t all the terrible things Warren listed happen? at her party’s guard station?
I mean, I don’t claim to be a genius, but the math here isn’t challenging. Warren is essentially saying, “Look at all these sexual assaults that occurred on active duty under the Biden administration! We can’t let Pete Hegseth become Secretary of Defense!” That’s a “Wait, what?” moment if I’ve ever seen one. It’s like being kicked out of a rental house that you destroyed and then the landlord demanding that no other tenants be allowed to live there. Did Warren simply not know how her contribution would work, or is she such a dishonest fraud that she didn’t care?
So this all happened under your party’s supervision?

So because Biden’s defense secretary failed, are you going to blame someone who was nominated to fix the problem?
I don’t understand the logic here, Pocahontas. Would you like to try again?

As for the accuracy of their numbers, six percent does seem to be reported by at least one study. Most sexual assaults occurred during an on-base or shipboard deployment, with 21 percent of women alleging abuse during hazing or bullying.
Back to Warren’s statement: It’s part of a larger narrative on the left that we believe is practiced whenever Republicans try to change the status quo. For a Democrat, it is assumed that all mistakes and inefficiencies, including sexual assaults, are acceptable under his leadership. So in the mind of someone like Warren, Hegseth must be worse. This is of course nonsense. The litany of disasters that have occurred under Democratic leadership to count. They do not represent an assumed baseline.
I don’t know what will happen with Hegseth’s nomination. In the end, it is up to Donald Trump whether he makes it to the confirmation vote or not, and that is his privilege as president-elect. In the meantime, however, Democrats should sit down and stop talking. The American people have had enough of their self-promotion while they bankrupt the government.
