Breitbart:
Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) slammed Democrat colleagues attacking Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense, during Tuesday’s hearing, calling them out for their hypocrisy on a range of topics.
Mullin called out Democrat senators — particularly those who continue to question Hegseth’s qualifications for leading such a massive department.
“You know, there’s a lot of talk going about talking about qualifications, and then about us hiring him if we are the board, but there’s a lot of senators here I wouldn’t have on my board, because there is no qualifications except your age, and you got to be living in the state and you’re a citizen of the United States to be a senator,” he said.
“In fact, we got to convince a lot of people to vote for us, and then when we start talking about qualifications for, if you’re qualified for it, could the chairman tell me what the qualifications are for the Secretary of Defense? Mr. Chairman, could you tell me what the qualifications are for the Secretary of Defense?” he asked.
“Let me read it for you,” he continued, explaining that he is making a point.
“Because there’s a lot about qualifications. I think it’s so hypocritical of senators, especially on the other side, I’ll be talking about his qualifications … and yet your qualifications aren’t any better,” he remarked blasting them.
“You guys aren’t any more qualified to be the senator than I’m qualified to be the senator, except we’re lucky enough to be here. But let me read you what the qualifications of the Secretary of Defense is, because I Googled it and I Googled it and went through a lot of different sites, and really it’s hard to see, but in general, the U.S. Secretary of Defense position is filled by a civilian,” he revealed. “That’s it.”
That reality prompted laughter in the room. Mullin went on:
BRAVO!
Long past time for honest discourse in the Congress.
There were a lot of good ones. I think this is my personal favorite. We’re developing a damn good team. Hegseth drove the old libtrad bitties over the edge with his cool, calm, collect demeanor. Like a pro.

Joni Ernest just came out as backing Hegseth………..that should do it.
Mullin is a dude that walks the walk. If throwing down is your only option, I would like him at my back.

Opening with How many genders are there? is a classic move letting Democrats know that these two aren’t playing along with their stupid fucking games. It’s letting the Democrats know that they are the alpha dogs and fuck you if you don’t like it. It’s also making it clear that neither are going to play the roll that the Republican establishment would have them play.
