Whoever these detractors and actors might be who are attempting to tank the Hegseth nomination, know that there is a wizard behind the curtain pulling their strings. Voices like The Federalist Sean Davis and others are naming and shaming South Carolina Sen. Lindsay Graham (R) as one of the puppet masters, along with the aforementioned Sen. Joni Ernst. According to Davis, they are tag-teaming to bring about the demise of Hegseth's nomination. When Sen. Graham last spoke to the press, he appeared to express concern over the recent allegations of Hegseth's past behaviors. //

In the meantime, it's Kavanaugh 2.0, except this time, it is Trump's Secretary of Defense nominee instead of the Supreme Court. //

GOP senators CANNOT fold to these cheap anonymous attacks on @PeteHegseth.

If they do, they’ll just invite more and more Kavanaugh style attacks, for every potential disruptor. Everyone who represents REAL CHANGE.

And they’ll lose one hell of a SecDef in @PeteHegseth.
