Deadline Whitehouse today

I used to be a fan of Paul Rieckoff, but his bitterness towards Democrats is hard to ignore, and I don’t think he adds much of value anymore when he appears. Because he dismissed the Democrats’ questioning of Hegseth as ineffective, Nicolle asked him what he thought they should have asked. Rieckoff ranted about “better candidates” (again). Said nothing about what should have been asked today. I thought the Democratic senators’ questions were very aggressive, as they needed to be.
