In recent weeks, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has been the target of many criticisms and attacks about his competence. His opponents will have you believe they are condemning him because of errors he made since he’s been in office. However, those are meant to distract from the primary reason behind Hegseth’s criticisms: jealousy and dislike for the social values Hegseth represents, and that he is a so-called MAGA Republican.

Hegseth’s speech at the Army War College on Wednesday showed why his opponents want him gone. He goes against everything they believe in. Hegseth is eliminating all that liberals and Democrats hold near and dear to their hearts, and they cannot stand it.

“The message to our adversaries in these first 100 days in office has been undeniably clear — America is back,” Hegseth said. “At the Defense Department, that means no more distractions, no more social engineering, no more climate change worship, no more electric tanks, no more gender confusion, no more pronouns, no more excuses, no more quotas, and no more woke bullshit that undermines commanders and command climates.”

This is the real reason they hate Hegseth and want him gone.

If Hegseth were a member of the Biden administration, every excuse possible would be used to cover for his supposed errors, mishaps, and controversies. There would be a national media campaign suggesting that it was a minor infraction not worthy of any significant scrutiny. Look at how Democrats and legacy........
