Sen. Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn., a prominent ally of Donald Trump, said voters don't care who conducts background checks into the president-elect's Cabinet picks and that Trump would fire members of his administration who don't follow the policy he sets out.

In an interview with "This Week" co-anchor Jonathan Karl, Hagerty lambasted the records of some of President Joe Biden's Cabinet members and insisted that Trump will command compliance from top members of his upcoming administration.

Name-checking Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin for the bloody withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, Hagerty said, “They've not been held to account.”

"President Trump will fire people that don't do their job well. I fully expect everybody coming into the Cabinet will listen to President Trump. They'll let him set the policy, and they'll execute according to that plan."

Corrupt loon.

1. I wonder if Putin has these people on the payroll, or they get paid per stunt?

2. I don't think

there is one Republican left who hasn't abandoned their spine for the least manly disgusting criminal I have ever witnessed. How do they live with the shame of themselves ?

3. Translation: FBI background check on Hegseth would turn up more sexual assaults

They are desperate to get in front of this.

4. Public should be interested in his resume. He lacks the experience to be qualified.

Sure many MAGA voters have no problem with rapists, and those paying off women who were their victims. And a White Supremacist lean is seen as a positive by many MAGA, but the guy is not qualified in military rank nor real world management experience.

5. They simply "do not care" about the American people, or anyone other than themselves.

6. I dont care if they do or not.

He shouldn't get the job.

7. Speak for yourself, Hagerty

Goddamn hillbilly!

8. I care

You fucking traitor.

9. TSF is the least bit concerned in competency; he is demanding unrepentant fealty...

…of the nominees to the positions they’ve been bestowed.

10. I saw this on TV in a Tires Plus waiting room while getting an oil change.

OMG! The gall of this man. I no longer watch Sunday news shows and I’ve not been directly exposed to televised MAGA lies, disinformation and propaganda over the last year.

Karl, the host, started off the show by declaring that proposed cabinet appointees were “among the most ideologically diverse” of cabinets and there was racial diversity as well. He praised Gabbard & JFKjr as Democrats/former Democrats. WTF?

Jasmine Crockett was a guest later in the show. She provided a voice of reason and reality.

Thankfully, my car was finally ready and I escaped the waiting room TV.

11. We absolutely care, like heart attack level care that FBI conducts a REAL background investigation.
