Confirmation Hearing: Hashemite (Secretary of External Affairs - CONFIRMED)

[Small Business Owner of Any Repute]

I'm not sure I can go for this. Wasn't Hashemite among the secessionists?

He WAS the secessionist.  No one at all left Atlasia except for Hashemite.  He is a traitor to our great nation and should be treated as such.  My vote for president becomes easier every day when Moderate takes direct shots at the Dirty South and regional rights, and patriotism, at every chance

Oh, lord.  Do you actually believe this stuff that you're saying, or do you just want to find any reason possible to claim victimhood?

I'm taking direct shots at patriotism?  Christ.

[Small Business Owner of Any Repute]

I shall be voting against this nominee.  Anyone who has seceded from the country should not be allowed to represent our nation to foreign countries.  What kind of message does that send?

That's a question in case the nominee didn't notice

Yeah, we call those "rhetorical questions," and we typically don't waste our time pretending that they're questions and not statements.
