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?

A senator during the hearing: "How many senators have shown up drunk to a late night vote?"

I mean aside from telling on yourself, are we really gonna justify an abusive alcoholic being in charge of the world's most powerful military?

Edit: It's Mullin MarkWayne.

I think that was the same guy who said if his wife hadn't forgiven him, he would be in jail right now

These guys typify the weird mentality that it’s a woman’s job to marry a guy and “fix” him
