TUESDAY P.M. UPDATE -- Dems launch vicious attacks on Hegseth.
Go here to fax key Committee members, and see below for more.

The Democrats are making it clear that they are going to WAR against President Trump's nominees, starting with today's Senate Armed Services Committee hearing for Pete Hegseth.

+ + Full Assault on Hegseth...

From the very start, Democrat committee members made it clear that their intentions are to destroy the Hegseth nomination.

Democrat ranking member Sen. Jack Reed (pictured here) opened his remarks by saying: "A variety of sources... implicate you with disregarding the laws of war, financial mismanagement, racist and sexist remarks about men and women in uniform, alcohol abuse, sexual assault, sexual harassment, and other troubling issues."

Only after leveling these charges did Sen. Reed state that these are "allegations"! And it went on and on.

This is a full-scale character assassination attempt designed to defeat the Hegseth nomination before it even gets to the Senate floor!

It is clear that Democrats want to make an example of Hegseth and establish that the path for many of President Trump's nominees will be a difficult one.

+ + Report: Hegseth doesn't have the votes!

Before the hearing began, GOP Chairman Wicker warned that Hegseth likely didn't even have majority support of the Armed Services Committee. That means GOP members of this committee HOLD THE KEY to whether Hegseth gets confirmed.
