Hegseth: Democrats Don’t Believe Their Own Rhetoric

EXCERPT:

HEGSETH: “Yeah, it’s sheer political cynicism. It shows you they don’t believe their rhetoric of ‘threats to democracy.’ We’re not a democracy. That’s the phrase they always use. I also won’t buy into ‘far-right’ or ‘extremist candidate.’ If you look at Don Bolduc, he is a mainstream, America First Republican candidate. And to say that he is extreme would mean that Maggie Hassan on the other side would be extreme because she believes in abortion all the way until effectively the moment of birth. This is the national Democrats trying to pick the Republican they would prefer in order to keep that seat. I understand that. That’s politics, we get that. But at the end of the day, it’s we the people, the voters who should get a chance to decide. And this is not just Democrats. Mitch McConnell is doing the same thing, trying to say ‘we have candidates who are unelectable’ as opposed to supporting good candidates.”
