Sen. Tillis says his vote for Hegseth was 'biggest regret of my career' in new book

Republican Sen. Thom Tillis says in a new book that his deciding vote to confirm Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in January 2025 is the “biggest regret of my career” and that he also “should’ve stopped” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from becoming Health and Human Services secretary in the early days of President Donald Trump’s second term.

Tillis, who announced last year that he would not run for reelection…

Another chicken shit GOP politician grows a spine when it doesn’t matter anymore. Nothing here to see that hasn’t been done hundreds of times when book deals hit the table.

Fuck you. You voted for a Fox News personality, and an obvious conspiracy loony. Shove your regrets up your ass, because you'd vote for both of them again, you damn hypocrite.

Shut the fuck up asshole.

Gotta look repentant for the books sales and the future downplaying of the Trump admin’s atrocities.

IF we get past Trump without (more) mass death or a civil war we cannot let these people try to act like they had nothing to do with it or no idea. I’m also looking at the Dem senators that voted to confirm Marco Rubio, who is currently orchestrating a genocide in Cuba.

Fuck this guy and everyone of the "others" like him. Sold out our democracy for their own political gains.

"I know for a fact that there are others like me," Tillis writes, "Republicans who agreed to go along with the early demands of the Trump team no matter how ridiculous they were, believing that failing to do so would mean the end of their political career, and who now see that things have gone way too far."
