The republicans don’t actually care about people not being qualified for their jobs

I also get so annoyed when republicans talk about things like DEI. Their main argument is that DEI hiring results in less qualified people in these jobs. Okay I don’t agree, but fair argument. However y’all seem to completely abandoned that issue when the conversation is about republicans. Im talking mainly about Trump’s cabinet picks that republicans have been defending. I watched some highlights of Hegseths congress hearing and I don’t understand why this dude is y’all’s pick. Lets just put aside all the accusations and nasty shit he has apparently done. The fact is that this dude does not have the qualifications to be secretary of defense. Just because you are a veteran doesn’t mean you can lead the damn pentagon. I just think its so hypocritical to talk about DEI hiring resulting in less qualified hires in regard to people like the LA fire chief, but are silent about your guy’s qualifications.
