Raw Story - MSNBC panel bursts into hysterics over guest's 'verbally incontinent' jab at Cabinet pick

MSNBC's Thursday afternoon political panel broke out laughing after The Bulwark's Charlie Sykes lodged a unique jab at one of Donald Trump's potential Cabinet picks.

The segment came following a video of Pete Hegseth denigrating LGBTQ service members in the military and questioning their ability to do their jobs. Trump's secretary of defense pick said various military branches want women in their forces to put them on a recruitment poster.

Host Nicolle Wallace pointed out that Trump's affinity for the "manosphere" means more nominees from that world have made controversial statements that could hurt their nominations.

Sykes agreed and said Hegseth is unique in that "he's not only ideologically extreme, he's verbally incontinent."

Wallace and Dr. Basil Smikle burst into laughter.

2. Recruitment Posters?

Interesting timing. About a half hour ago I was putting paper reinforcements on my 2025 Calendars. One was from the US Navy Memorial. 4 of the 12 Months had replicas of recruiting posters featuring Officer and Enlisted Female personnel. From many years gone by. I also have a very large Framed Recruiting Poster of a Female Navy Chief proudly displayed in my basement. I got it in the mid 80s and it was old then. Nothing new Peter.

I also had Gay Sailors work for me and I never had any reason to question their ability to do their jobs. I did however, have a fellow Chief who spent many years in Leavenworth for raping a subordinate. Very small sampling, but fact, not opinion based.

Hegseth reflects trumps values and will not disobey. Sad.
