Rick Scott Touts Hegseth Nom, Says Senate Should Not Go Home For The Weekend Until He Is Confirmed

[@sunnyd6931]

We Americans agree. And if they do go home they shouldn't get paid by taxpayer money

[@saveamericanfreedom2400]

No one should leave Washington DC until the job is done. Work through the weekend and you can work through next weekend too. No one should go home until all of these nominees are appointed.

[@oanhpham4618]

Bravo. Get jobs done . They not come , yep, yep, yep and go to beach and have ice cream

[@Carol-e7q]

Midterms are in November of 2026. These people should go.👇🏽👇🏽

They would be gone, but for the voters in their districts.

[@pjsmith4716]

Thank you Senator Scott.

[@wrm3016]

And now we hear Murkowski is on the fence for a No vote! Alaska... VOTE HER OUT already!

[@soleilbrilliant2113]

They should not go home if he not confirmed. Republicans do the right thing and confirm him ASAP. No time to play games. No reasons for him not to be confirmed. Got to move on fast

[@judyharper1742]

Just an added thought, the woman who brought this smear, jealous and the Dems final card, tired of the same old stupidity, get over it .

They think Austin, missing in action Austin, failed Iraq disaster Austin, is better than Pete? Put down the crack pipe.

[@lawrenceleverton7426]

He should have been put up on charges. Military charges of absent without leave.

[@Apollo-tj1vm]

Austin's time in Iraq was fine though lul.

[@Apollo-tj1vm]

​@lawrenceleverton7426 given that he's a civilian, you can't charge him with UCMJ

[@lawrenceleverton7426]

@@Apollo-tj1vm They may not be able to charge him under the UCMJ, but the public scorn will never forget what he did. Leading those who know what would happen if they did the same thing, is very slimy and he knows it. That didn't show Leadership at all. He should know better. Oh I forgot he was an Officer therefore those rules don't apply. He is a Scoundrel and most Vets think so. His Picture is the Next to get Yanked at the Pentagon. He dishonored his service. And history will say such.

[@ravannaschonlau6388]

This is about the President’s choice of cabinet members not the politicians. And the more they play games the more likely they will be voted out in November. And good riddance. Our country wants unity. It’s what makes a strong and what makes progress happen. Stalling is blowing smoke to deter what the voters asked. We support TRUMP💯 and that includes his cabinet members and his actions. Do get off your agenda to stall and approve the picks. And don’t go home until you do. You get paid for doing your job. Not walking away to have the weekend off.

[@donaldbeamer3563]

Go ahead, go home. We'll confirm them in your absence.

[@MeiHoang-g8l]

Pete Hegseth is qualified, we American people are not looking for the perfect person, and there is no perfect person in the world. We American people need the person who love America and willing to protect American people.

You're a fool to think any of them have our interests in mind. We literally saw this 4 years ago. It took 4 years for you to forget.

[@barbaraseymour3437]

Well, get a dog, then. Much better than most of these nominees and certainly more lovable.

[@estrellacastillo5636]

GO GO GO PETE HEGSETH , You are RIGHT MAN for the job

[@RJ-fe9pu]

Senate shouldn't go home until every nominee is confirmed

[@davidrounds3245]

Collins and Murkowski need to join the team or resign. President Trump has a right to pick his team and they need to get on board. The people voted and they should not be obstructing his picks. You never see these types of defections on the Democrat team, that is why as corrupt as they are they stick together no matter what. Evil needs to be defeated this time and we need all hands on board.

Thune is in charge. Lay it at his feet. He can speed this up if he wants to. He decides the rules. This is what RINOs always do. Create drama when they're the ones who are as guilty as the Democrats. People need to watch what's really happening. This is the same gimmick that McConnell played. Thune is slow walking these nominations.

[@eugenepearson4467]

Actually, you can go home for about 2 weeks, and Trump will recess appointment all of them. WE THE PEOPLE DIDN'T ELECT TRUMP TO MAKE GOVERNMENT WORK; WE ELECTED HIM TO HELP GOVERNMENT LEAVE US THE HELL ALONE.

The dems are delaying the vote. So no cater can take place.

[@DavidM442]

To avoid 30-hours of debate prior to a vote, democrats votes are needed. That is why the votes are moving so slowly. 30 hours of debate prior to each vote. Republicans were foolish to leave the 30-hour debate in the Senate rules. Now they need Dem votes.
