Former Fox News host Pete Hegseth addressed concerns over his use of alcohol in an interview with a former colleague, Megyn Kelly, pledging not to drink on the job if confirmed to oversee the vast U.S. military apparatus.

Even if that wasn’t vastly different from “staying sober” it’s still pathetic.

    Is this seriously what we’ve come to as a nation?

    “If you make me SecDef I promise not to get drunk at work again.”

    There are plenty of qualified people who have never shown up to work wasted. Though I guess most of them wouldn’t be willing to work for the orange shitgibbon.

      The bar has been lowered that far. An open bar will put the lie to all of this right quick, though.
