Democrat Representative Dan Goldman (D-NY) is up in arms over President-elect Donald Trump’s decision to appoint a true patriot like Pete Hegseth as the next Secretary of Defense, claiming that he is nothing more than an “unqualified loyalist.” Once again, Democrats demonstrate their disdain for anyone who doesn’t fit their elitist mold.
CNN host Erin Burnett said, “First Pete Hegseth, Trump choosing him, the Fox News host, for Defense Secretary. What do you think?”
Goldman replied, “I’m shocked, truly. This is exactly what we worry about and warned about Donald Trump, which is that he is going to appoint unqualified loyalists to shape this government into his own personal thiefdom, and get revenge on generals and put essentially really unqualified people.”
Dan Goldman said on CNN that Trump’s choice for Secretary of Defense is unqualified.
I’m wondering what Oliver Wendell Goldman thinks qualifies you to be the Secretary of Defense? Going to Princeton and Harvard. Deploying and getting to bronze medals?

He continued, “I appreciate Mr. Hegseth’s service in our armed forces but being a serviceman does not make you qualified to lead the Department of Defense and to have access to our nuclear weapons. I’m very disturbed by this and I’m very concerned about what it demonstrates about Donald Trump’s priorities, which now seem to be coming true as many of us warned.”
Goldman fumed, “He’s been his biggest cheerleader on Fox News, the biggest cheerleading network. That is not what makes one qualified to be a Cabinet secretary and secretary of defense.”

He concluded, “It’s bad enough that you have Kristi Noem, who has zero experience with the border, with Homeland Security, being a governor from South Dakota, heading up our Department of Homeland Security. Now you have a fox news host who has got his finger on the nuclear weapons. It’s very dangerous.”
Maybe it’s just me, but I sense jealousy. Anyone else?
