I just have one question…. Give Trump’s cabinet nominees this much: they were thoroughly coached for their confirmation hearings. Whenever a Senate committee member this week asked Fox News weekend co-anchor Pete Hegseth (nominee for secretary of defense) to answer allegations of drunkenness or whatever, his default answer was “anonymous smears.” Over and over. Despite senators telling him to his face that the committee has documents naming the people, including Fox co-workers, who made those allegations. When Democratic senators on Wednesday asked Pam Bondi (nominee for attorney general) if she agreed with positions taken by her prospective employer (Donald Trump), the former Florida attorney general defaulted multiple times to variations on “I’m not familiar with the statement.” To date, no Democrat has as I suggested asked any Trump nominee if they had reason to doubt their qualifications for the job, and if they did, why they accepted anyway. But another question that came up a couple of times in Bondi’s hearing was whether she would admit that President Trump lost the 2020 election. Hegseth and other Trump supporters have similarly refused to say so. It must appear to the casual observer, and especially to MAGA Republicans, like a “gotcha” question, a trap to draw Trump’s ire. Everyone knows that Trump refuses to admit he lost. To salve his bruised ego, he still claims the election was stolen. Trump considers it a sign of fealty and obeisance, like kowtowing to the emperor, that his subjects agree. To the likes of Hegseth…
