As he departed from Los Angeles on Friday evening, President Trump responded to the information of Pete Hegseth’s profitable affirmation as Protection Secretary.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, the Senate voted on affirmation of Pete Hegseth Friday after a 51-49 vote on Thursday to invoke cloture and break the filibuster.
RINO Senators Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Susan Collins (R-ME) on Thursday voted against advancing Hegseth’s nomination to a remaining ground vote.
RINO Mitch McConnell (R-KY) then joined his fellow RINOs voting towards Hegseth Friday, teeing up a tiebreaker vote by Vice President JD Vance. Vance was the tiebreaker, voting in favor of Hegseth’s nomination.
President Trump responded on Truth Social, “Congratulations to Pete Hegseth. He’ll make an excellent Secretary of Protection!”
After a roundtable convention on the wildfires in Los Angeles, California, President Trump spoke to the press and responded to the information.
He confirmed no regard for the three RINOs who voted towards Hegseth when requested about McConnell’s vote and as a substitute cheered on the victory. “I simply heard that we gained. Profitable is what issues, proper?” Trump stated.
Watch beneath:
Trump: I am honored to have Pete. I believe Pete’s going to be an excellent Secretary of Protection, Pete Hegseth, and we’re honored to have him. I believe Pete goes to be an excellent Secretary of Protection.
Reporter: Are you dissatisfied that McConnell voted no?
Trump: I did not even know that, no. I do not know that. I simply heard that we gained. Profitable is what issues, proper? So thanks very a lot everyone.
