5. Holy shit. That was about as brutal as it gets

How Hegseth just sat there and said nothing was unbelievable. And I'm sure everything that was said was 100% true. I can tell you this. If the data presented was true, and I'm sure it is, I would have said "Fuck it" and immediately walked out, asking for my name to be removed from consideration. It's the right thing to do. And it's definitely not worth the harassment. The weird part is that he thought he could just walk right in and have the job because Trump picked him. Knowing what was about to transpire, why would anyone put themselves under such scrutiny? He knew this shit was going to be brought up. Why would you put yourself through this, especially since he had to know the job was way over his head.

This is one toopid mofo, if what I heard was true. I'm sure Sen Reed thoroughly researched everything before presenting it. Unbelievable.
