Rep. Suozzi said several things I found very concerning: “Let’s see what happens…” Sounds very apathetic. He said about Hegseth, “Maybe he will be great.” How can he say this when we know many crazy things Hegseth has said and done??? For example:

Hegseth has said women should not be in combat. Said the Iraq war was something we got right. Paints the military as anti-white in his 2024 book. Wants to purge military of DEI. Fear-mongers repeatedly about the spread of Islam in U.S. Is very fixated on the Christian crusades, even bearing a tattoo of their cross. Because of the extreme nature of his tattoos, he was not allowed to be a guard in Biden’s inauguration.

Hegseth Is big supporter of Laura Loomer. Claims he hasn’t washed hands for 10 years saying “Germs are not a real thing. I can’t see them, therefore, they are not real.” Has made many inflammatory comments about trans people.

Hegseth has close connections with the Christian radical group TheoBros. An influential member of the group said women should never have been given the right to vote.

How can Suozzi say “Maybe he will be great?” If he is so uninformed about Hegseth’s deficits, he should say so, not make such an outrageous statement.

He says mentioning Kristi Noem’s dog is taking a cheap shot and that she is a serious person. She’s the one who disseminated the concerning info on how she killed her dog, goat, and horse, not her political enemies—in her recent biography. In her book she lied about meeting Kim Jong-un, which she later admitted.

She has been one of the worst anti-LGBTQ+ politicians in the country.

She posted a video to social media extolling the work of Smile Texas, a cosmetic dentistry company and was hit with a lawsuit accusing her of “misleading and deceptive advertising.”

She repeatedly sent National Guard troops to the Texas border, resulting in a lawsuit by CREW. She tapped her state’s Emergency and Disaster Fund to cover some of the $2.7 million costs. She has done many questionable things that certainly disqualify her as a serious person.

I wouldn’t be surprised iof Rep. Suozzi changed parties and became a Republican. He seems very uninformed about the dangers Trump and suck-o-phants present.

Ben, please reconsider having Suozzi on again!
