After meeting with Pete Hegseth on Monday, Sen. Cynthia Lummis expressed her full support after an onslaught from the established media.

“Are soldiers often wild children? “Yes, it can happen. But, this is the man who is able to restore confidence to the American people in their military and in the ability of the United States to project its strength in the world,” she said to reporters on Tuesday.

Her support is crucial at this time as Hegseth has been attacked by anonymous sources for his alleged drinking and sexual behavior with women dating back to 2014.

Shelley Moore Capito, a Republican Senator from West Virginia, also expressed her support for Hegseth. She posted that she was happy to meet him and to discuss their common priorities of restoring U.S. deterrence as well as attracting patriotic young Americans into military service.

1776 Coalition Sponsored George Soros’ Goons came to my District George Soros sent his goons into my district to hold a fake townhall meeting. This is Rep. Jack Bergman. They didn’t invite me, but they used an empty chair as a prop while they attacked my support for DOGE and America First policies. If you’re tired of Soros-funded leftists attempting to sabotage America’s future, then please help me keep up the fight in Congress.

Sen. Marsha blackburn (R-TN), who met with Hegseth last week, has been a staunch supporter of Hegseth. She has praised his credentials and record since that time.

She said that he was more than qualified for the position of Secretary of Defense.

The male Republican Senators have also shown their support, but the female Republican senators’ support is particularly important, as his critics are smearing him with 2017 accusations of rape despite a report from the police saying that there was no proof of rape and mistreatment of woman.
