Trump Defense nominee Pete Hegseth continues to shine in his confirmation hearing while leftist Democrat Senators faceplant one by one<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As The Gateway Pundit\u2019s Jordan Conradson reported, US Veteran, television host, author, and former National Guard officer Pete Hegseth is answering questions this morning before the US Senate Armed Services Committee.<\/p>\n

Pete Hegseth is President Trump\u2019s nominee for US Secretary of Defense and has battled garbage allegations from far-left Democrats along with the fake news media. He has been hit with libelous smears of sexual misconduct from anonymous \u2018sources\u2019 who only want to ruin his career and livelihood.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Democrats, as expected, are amplifying these false allegations along with other outrageous attacks on Hegseth.<\/p>\n

Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) immediately came out of the gate trashing Hegseth as \u2018unqualified<\/a>\u2018 for Defense Secretary, saying he has \u201cnot earned his place.\u201d She apparently thinks only woke career military officials are the only ones who should serve rather than determined outsiders with bold ideas.<\/p>\n

At one point, she was so \u2018worried\u2019 about Hegseth leading an audit when the DOD had failed seven<\/a> straight audits. But when she tried to trap him with a question designed to make him look unqualified on the matter, Hegseth refused to play her game.<\/p>\n

This caused Duckworth to melt down completely and start screaming like a banshee for several seconds as her plan was foiled.<\/p>\n

DUCKWORTH: Please describe to me, Mr. Hegseth, you talk about DOD passing an audit; please describe to me a time or an organization where you led or underwent an audit.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not asking you to be an accountant, I\u2019m asking you to tell me what kind of guidance will be given to those employees. Have you led an audit of any organization yes or no?<\/strong><\/p>\n

HEGSETH: Senator, in both of the organizations I ran, we were always completely and fiscally responsible.<\/p>\n

DUCKWORTH (Shouting): YES OR NO DID YOU LEAD AN AUDIT?!<\/p>\n

HEGSETH: And the way\u2026<\/p>\n

DUCKWORTH (Screaming): YES OR NO DID YOU LEAD AN AUDIT?! YES OR NO DID YOU LEAD AN AUDIT?!<\/p>\n

WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?! YOU CAN\u2019T ANSWER THIS QUESTION?!<\/p>\n

YES OR NO?! YES OR NO?! I will take that as a no.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
