'Nepotistic Creep' Mikie Sherill Learns The HARD WAY That Picking A Fight With Pete Hegseth Is Dumb

Posted • October 3, 2025: Oh, look who decided to grace us with her wisdom! Rep. Mikie Sherrill, the Democrat who’s somehow convinced New Jersey voters she’s tough enough to be governor, took a swing at Pete Hegseth, Trump’s pick for Secretary of Defense, and boy, did she swing and miss. On MSNBC’s 'The Last Word,' Sherrill had the audacity to call Hegseth 'like a little kid playing at being SecDef,' claiming he’s undermining national security. Let’s unpack this, shall we? First off, Pete Hegseth is a combat veteran who served in the Army National Guard, with deployments to Guantanamo Bay, Iraq, and Afghanistan. He’s not some trust-fund kid playing dress-up; he’s put his life on the line for this country. But sure, Mikie, go ahead and diminish his service because it fits your narrative.

Now, let’s talk about Sherrill’s own record. This is the same woman who was implicated in the largest cheating scandal in U.S. Naval Academy history back in 1994. Yeah, you read that right. Over 130 midshipmen were involved, and Sherrill was one of them. She was barred from walking with her graduating class as punishment. But hey, no biggie, right? She’s built her entire political brand around her military service, conveniently omitting this little detail. Hypocrisy much? Watch this: —— Mikie Sherrill @MikieSherrill: “Pete Hegseth is like a little kid playing at being SecDef. It's offensive and it undermines our national security.” —— Not entirely sure what she was thinking here, but woof. —— TheMorningSpew2 @TheMorningSpew2: “You are a cheater, a nepotistic creep, a fraud who knows nothing about honesty and honor. One Pete Hegseth is worth more than a thousand Mikie Sherrills.” —— All true.

Blue State Snooze @BlueSnoozeBlue: “Yeah, the way he got his kids into the academy. Oh, wait - that was you.” —— *cough cough*
