Senate Democrat: Multiple Republicans are 'waiting for the right moment to say no' to Hegseth

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said Wednesday he has talked to several Republican colleagues who have said they are “waiting for the right moment” to reject Pete Hegseth as the nominee to lead the Pentagon.

“I’ve talked to five to 10 Republicans who have said to me, they’re just waiting for the right moment to say ‘no’ to Pete Hegseth,” Blumenthal told reporters on Wednesday. “And for very good reasons.”

Blumenthal said he thinks Republicans are reluctant to come forward publicly to reject President-elect Trump’s nominee because “nobody wants to defy Donald Trump.” But he said he thinks his GOP colleagues might express their concerns to the president-elect behind closed doors.

“The power of the presidency, not to mention this president-elect, and what the retribution might be, I think, is pretty daunting, and so I think Republicans are reluctant to step forward and be the first one, but I think privately, they’re much readier to advise the president that the better part of wisdom would be to urge withdrawal of this nomination.”

They do it all for money and power.
Sold their country out to Russia, didn't even blink.
