Pete Hegseth Posted a Cartoon That Best Sums Up Why the Dems Are SO Triggered (Move Over, Franklin!) – Twitchy

The Democrats and assorted lefties have been demanding the resignation of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth under the guise of national security concerns and what they call the “war crimes” that are taking out narco terrorists shipping product for the cartels. The Dems would like everybody to believe Team Trump is going out of their way to eliminate innocent fisherman.

The real reason the Dems are melting down is because Hegseth and others in the Trump administration are nuking all the “progressive” madness they spent four years putting into place under President Autopen. 

Earlier this month Hegseth caused additional hyperventilation (and a bit of anger in Canada) with this response to those freaking out about narco terrorists being taken out:

In other words, the Pentagon is now un-woke and focused on the mission instead of social experiments and forwarding the Left’s climate change shams.

When the Dems say Trump, Hegseth and others are destroying “democracy,” that’s their definition of the word, so that particular destruction is just fine with us.
