    So per Hegseth, all DoD hires should be merit based?


    “For Pete Hegseth, running the Pentagon is a family affair.

    Phil Hegseth, Pete’s younger brother, is a Department of Homeland Security liaison to the Defense Department,

    Phil Hegseth traveled with his older brother on a trip through the Indo-Pacific, including Hawaii, Guam, Japan and the Philippines

    his online biography says, he "led production of Hudson's podcasts, video products, and website design."


    Hegseth's brother serves key Pentagon role, wife attends meetings

    Hegseth’s younger brother is serving in a key role inside the Pentagon

    Nepotism is a feature rather than a bug of Trumpism. Although I thought that the arrangement was really sleazy ironically the influence of Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump probably kept the first Trump Administration from being far worse than it otherwise would have been.

    Fun how MAGA ignores this grotesque criminality that they enable. :)

    Someone really needs to point out to all of MAGA that nepotism and merit-based are NOT synonymous. I truly think they don’t understand that small little point.
