As previously noted, in a last-ditch attempt to derail Pete Hegseth’s nomination to lead the Department of Defense, Senators received an 11th hour affidavit with spousal abuse allegations against Hegseth ahead of his confirmation vote. This is the same tactic used against Brett Kavanaugh when he was nominated for the Supreme Court. It was also used against Justice Clarence Thomas during his confirmation hearings many years ago.
This is what the Communists Democrats do. When an eminently qualified candidate appears before them and demonstrates his qualifications, the Democrats resort to trying to smear that person. In this case Mitch McConnell, an employee of the UniParty inhabiting the swamps of Washington DC, used this smear to hide behind. McConnell cast a “No” vote that created a tie. VP Vance cast the tie breaking vote that confirmed Hegseth.
McConnell’s actions were almost identical to those of Senator John McCain when he refused to repeal Obamacare. McCain’s vote has saddled everyday Americans with the most expensive healthcare system in the world without the commensurate quality that one would expect from such an expensive system.
Mitch McConnell may be paid by the American people but he does not work for the American people. Mitch McConnell ends his time in the Senate with a very planned, purposeful and public rebuke of PDJT’s nominee to lead our military.
And let’s not overlook that Senator McConnell intentionally waited, just like McCain, to cast his ‘nay’ vote until the end of the vote call. McConnell did this with purpose and public intent, just like McCain. In this case the ploy did not succeed since McConnell’s vote only created a tie. This allowed VP Vance to step in and cast the tie-breaking vote.
NEW: Mitch McConnell seen waddling over to go shake hands with the Democrats after voting ‘NO’ for Pete Hegseth’s confirmation.
The move forced JD Vance to cast the final tie breaking vote.
The next four years will be a fight.pic.twitter.com/phfV6Did9C

McConnell is a bitter old man, who has zero regard or appreciation for the citizens who elected him, or the nation that made him wealthy and powerful. McConnell appears to have the early signs of some cognitive issues as McConnell has “frozen” several times in public during the last year.
As noted, while PDJT may be winning over every day Democrats to his plan for the country (currently a 53% approval rate with Democrats despite constant, negative portrayal of PDJT in Big Media)), it will be a fight all the way for the American public to reclaim the country our founding fathers gave us.
