The Greatest DEI Disaster Ever Democratic Senators--especially the women--shed a glaring light on a sketchy, uninformed nominee who has no business lording over the Pentagon

Pete Hogslop’s nomination for Secretary of Defense, offering a, alcoholic, misogynistic, white man who is not qualified a job he doesn’t deserve. The greatest DEI disaster ever!! 😂

Tweet by @TheDemocrats with the text: '2021: Congressman Andy Kim cleaning up our Capitol after the Jan. 6 attack. 2024: Andy Kim was sworn in as the first Asian American Senator from New Jersey and the first Korean American in the U.S. Senate.' The tweet includes two images: the first image shows Congressman Andy Kim in 2021, wearing a suit and mask, cleaning up debris in the Capitol after the January 6th attack. The second image shows Andy Kim in 2024, taking the oath of office as a U.S. Senator, with his right hand raised.

In the beginning, God created Man.
However, contrary to the common telling, God did not say, "Man, thou must have a mate."
God said, "Oh, shit, what did I just do?"
So, God created a better model and said unto his initial creation, "Behold, I have created People 2.0, with fewer bugs and glitches. I give you Woman."
And Man was pissed.

So, the @Washington post tried to stop the world from seeing a political cartoon critical of its owner, and as a result, they’ve lost tons of subscribers, the incredible cartoonist who drew it quit, and it’s created such an uproar, that WAY more people saw it than otherwise would have.
