On Hegseth’s Confirmation

Roll over, Thom Tillis.

Tell McConnell the news.

—–with apologies to Chuck Berry

As I expected, Collins and Murkowski did the right thing. So did Mitch McConnell, who seems comfortable in a Mitt Romney for the second term role. No one else did, however, including Thom Tillis, who was the most likely fourth GOP no vote.

If Hegseth and Trump turn our military into a right-wing militia that is better suited to fight left-wing Americans than foreign enemies, the people of North Carolina will know where the blame lies.
