Matthew Dowd: ‘Pete Hegseth Is Bruce Willis in “The Sixth Sense,” He’s Dead and He Doesn’t Know It Yet

EXCERPT:

DOWD: “Donald Trump is exceedingly smart at politics. And Donald Trump, and it’s been reported in other places that he was taken aback because he was not — they asked him, Pete Hegseth, a series of questions and Pete Hegseth never copped to any of this stuff. He never told him. And I think Donald Trump doesn’t want to be embarrassed. I agree with the Reverend. It’s all about performance and you don’t ever want to embarrass the star with a sub-actor in the course of the play that you’re in, in the course of this. But I think that this, for Pete Hegseth, you know, he’s Bruce Willis in The Sixth Sense, I think. He’s dead. He doesn’t know it yet. And the senators just hope he passes away without them having to pronounce it.”
