Former Fox News host Pete Hegseth addressed concerns over his use of alcohol in an interview with a former colleague, Megyn Kelly, pledging not to drink on the job if confirmed to oversee the vast U.S. military apparatus.
Even if that wasn’t vastly different from “staying sober” it’s still pathetic.
Is this seriously what we’ve come to as a nation?
“If you make me SecDef I promise not to get drunk at work again.”
There are plenty of qualified people who have never shown up to work wasted. Though I guess most of them wouldn’t be willing to work for the orange shitgibbon.
The bar has been lowered that far. An open bar will put the lie to all of this right quick, though.
If you can’t trust a drunk when they say they will limit their drinking to before and / or after work hours, then who can you trust? /s
I could have sworn this was a onion article.
I mean who doesn’t trust a raging alcoholic to keep their word about not being a raging alcoholic anymore?
Not the Onion.
Clown world is full of clowns.
This is more than just an embarrassment to the people who he would command.
As a former alcoholic, doubt. I do occasionally drink, but I have to be very, very careful because it can easily spiral to an every night thing, particularly when I’m otherwise suffering with stress and/or depression.
And there’s no stress involved with being the Secretary of Defense of the United States.
I wish you the best in your fight, btw.
And he certainly is a man that sticks to his vows.
“Pete Hegseth vows to stay sober this time if you just give him one more chance.”
I thought it was going to be an onion article. I just did whatever the opposite of eating the onion is.
Sticking the onion up your butt
Oh great wel that was really all I was worried about…
Ffs
“Trust me bro. Ask any of my wives.”
Unless he agrees to submit to random ETG and drug urine testing, I wouldn’t trust anything an alcoholic up for a highly-paid and powerful job says about sobriety.
Hey, yeah, the alcoholic will just quit drinking, no big deal. He could totally stop anytime.
How about you stay sober for 20 years and then we’ll reconsider
