In recent weeks, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has been the target of many criticisms and attacks about his competence. His opponents will have you believe they are condemning him because of errors he made since he’s been in office. However, those are meant to distract from the primary reason behind Hegseth’s criticisms: jealousy and dislike for the social values Hegseth represents, and that he is a so-called MAGA Republican.

Hegseth’s speech at the Army War College on Wednesday showed why his opponents want him gone. He goes against everything they believe in. Hegseth is eliminating all that liberals and Democrats hold near and dear to their hearts, and they cannot stand it.
