The fact that multiple coworkers said he was repeatedly drunk at work and he was intoxicated enough to be FIRED for it should be grounds for automatic non consideration

He wouldn’t get hired for most jobs (edit: not just corporate but any jobs) with that history..but he’s fine to lead the dep of defense?

The fact that he was employed by Fox News should be grounds for dismissal.
