Pete Hegseth is charging full steam ahead for his Secretary of Defense confirmation.
And the Senate GOP is all in!
They’re ignoring all the hit pieces from the media.
Try as they might, they won’t derail him with a few false allegations.
Hegseth is saying “I’m not backing down, because I’m here for the warfighters.”
He mentioned what President Donald Trump told him was his mission:
Lethality, lethality, lethality.
Everything else is just distractions.
I’m doing this for the warfighters, not the warmongers.
The Left is afraid of disrupters and change agents. They are afraid of @realDonaldTrump—and me. So they smear w/ fake, anonymous sources & BS stories. They don’t want truth.
Our warriors never back down, & neither will I. pic.twitter.com/nDQ5aUlv7i

The Gateway Pundit reports:
Sources claim that Senate Republicans are set to unanimously support Pete Hegseth’s confirmation as Trump’s Secretary of Defense, according to the New York Post.
Hegseth was on Capitol Hill Thursday whipping up support as he vowed to “never back down” amid allegations of misconduct and smears from the leftist media.
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, Hegseth got numerous boosts Wednesday morning when his mother condemned the media’s hit pieces about her past relationship with her son, and J.D. Vance and many current and former Fox associates showed him massive support vouching for his character.
This morning, Hegseth told a reporter that he spoke with President Trump, and “he said keep going, keep fighting, I’m behind you all the way.” Hegseth further confirmed that he’s “in this all the way,” and is not withdrawing his name.
“Why would I back down? I’ve always been a fighter. I’m here for the warfighters. This is a personal passion for me,” he said.
In a press conference later this afternoon, Hegseth outlined President Trump’s mandate for him as Defense Secretary and assured the press that he’s hearing the same message in his meetings with Senators.
Hegseth: That’s what Donald Trump asked me to do. Your job is to bring a war-fighting ethos back to the Pentagon. Your job is to make sure that it’s lethality, lethality, lethality. Everything else is gone. Everything else that distracts from that shouldn’t be happening. That’s the message I’m hearing from senators in that advise and consent process, and it’s been a wonderful process.
He says, “Why would I back down now?”
Pete Hegseth is an AMERICAN HERO & a good friend.
“Why would I back down? I’ve always been a fighter. I’m here for the warfighters. This is personal & passionate for me.”
KEEP FIGHTING PETE!
