Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has privately discussed the idea of running for political office next year in Tennessee, according to two people who have spoken directly with him about it.
If Hegseth were to follow through on the discussions, it would amount to a major leadership shake-up at the department that oversees the American military and millions of federal employees. The Defense Department bars civilian employees from running for political office, meaning Hegseth would have to resign to do so.
I mean that’s probably one of the only states with people stupid enough to vote for a pedo protecting drunkard
Yes, along with every goddamned red state shithole.
You mean the guy protecting the pedophile politicians who rape children. Like Donald J Trump. Release the Epstein files!
Texas: “hold my… well, I’ma keep holding my beer while I vote.”
The voting machines have Miller Lite on draft
Isn’t Mississippi constantly at the bottom of the education list?
If Mississippi didn’t exist, the list would have no bottom
Do it. Leave. Then lose your election and disappear. If we’re really lucky, no one will remember you until they hear it in connection with being arraigned for federal charges.
And he’ll win with 70+% of the vote. The best and brightest don’t live here in TN.
I would defend Tennessee at least partially. Tennessee is home to the Oak Ridge National Laboratory which houses the world’s second largest supercomputer (Frontier). Scientists from across the world to come work there every year. These scientists are woefully out numbered by everyone else like you said, but some of the brightest minds are in fact in Tennessee.
Aww, has the shine gone off the apple for Pete? Better leave before you’re jettisoned, huh.
Would have to resign to do so? Says who? Says the law? Never heard of 'em.
It’s not a matter of have to. A political office in TN is a notable step down from SecDec. There’s nothing he would want to accomplish there that he couldn’t in the White House. He wouldn’t be talking about it if he thought his position was secure.
Well at least they’re keeping the turds in the toilet :>
