He never said he didn’t want women in the military, he said he didn’t want women fighting in combat…

[piratekingluffy]

He said “women shouldn’t serve in combat roles” not “women shouldn’t serve in the military”. Sue NBC for defamation

[daddancingmywaythroughit]

I don’t believe he said women shouldn’t serve in the military.

[TheGercek]

this cabinet will change in no more then 6 months

[MikeBCNU]

We dont care about government experience. this is what we are trying to weed out. Governmemt incumbency is not wisdom. Second, the man did not say he didnt want women in the military. not even close to what he said.. He did say their presence in combat roles complicates the issue and he is correct. stop twisting it.

Pete Hegseth NEVER SAID women shouldn't serve in the military. He said they shouldn't be in combat roles. That's a completely different statement.

[Chad_Max]

Love the common sense with this cabinet. Let's do it!

[brennanrattenni]

Thank god we have some new blood, when do yall think corporate media will realize not being a part of the blob is a good thing that the ppl want

[EddieMulchy]

HEY, MSM, You "F'd" around and found out!

[NikkiMonavari]

Excellent picks Mr President ❤️
We are behind you all the way

[dylanzohessian]

It’s actually very traditional to not have women in the military it brings down moral.

[austinjenkins]

He said women in combat, not women in the military you endless liars.

[MilanTobdzic]

I understand that half this country supports Donald Trump, but are they not embarrassed by these picks? Genuinely some of the most confusing and random positions… Shouldn’t appointments be based on qualification?

[dawalah]

That is a conflict of interest if Musk has government contracts that are worth millions if not billions

[Apexpurrfection]

We are blessed and finally America will be strong.

[Belacsworld-tz]

What happened to Trumps last cabinet 😂

[ZackTillman-xb]

That’s why this networks are disappearing, they are not journalists, they are activists!!

[anthonyr]

Why do they keep referring to pete as a fox news host like thats why he was chosen have some respect for our service members he is a hero. Also he did not say woman should not serve in the military that is a lie he said woman should not be on the front lines in combat which to me is obvious

[dawalah]

What was this guy Pete in the National Guard…like does he understand strategy does he understand that just because it sounds good it doesn’t mean it is feasible…

[davidschneider]

They told Trump that his choice for Attorney General, Algonquin J. Calhoun was not available.
