Accused of sexual assault, drunkenness, and financial mismanagement, new defense head is confirmed
Accused of sexual assault, drunkenness, and financial mismanagement, new defense head is confirmed
And Kristi Noem is now the DHS secretary.
You're viewing a single thread.
I wonder if the dems realize that these accusations hurt the dems more than they hurt the accused? They look like buffoons at this point.
Dems look like baffoons because:
A woman accused Hegseth of raping her at a 2017 conference in Monterey, California, according to a police report unearthed by the Washington Post. No charges were filed, but Hegseth later paid the woman $50,000, according to written answers to questions Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) posed to the nominee.
In an affidavit submitted to the Senate on Tuesday, Hegseth’s former sister-in-law said that Hegseth was “abusive” towards his ex-wife, who had an escape plan involving texting a safe word to friends and family and, on at least one occasion, hid in her closet out of fear.
How does that work in your head?
Republicans confirmed this guy? I am confused why you think this reflects on the Democrats?
Big shock that you're standing up for a drunken blowhard just because he's a fascist.
Never would have expected that from you.
The problem is you're framing the accusations as if they're just accusations without proof when they're not. Regardless of that, in a plainly misogynistic move, you're also assuming the women aren't being truthful.
It only makes the Dems "hurt more" if you're viewing it through that prism. In reality, where this shit is fucked up and is happening, the GOP is confirming a terrible person. Confirmations used to be largely bipartisan and mostly a walk through, now one party just ignores the other because the moral compass is so far apart compromise is impossible. You can't compromise with amoral fascist lovers. So yeah of course none of the Dems voted for him.
Why choose to be a worthless lying POS
Connect these dots for me
It comes off like they're just trying to defame them, like the Dems are lying and persecuting their political opponents, like the Nazis did.
Stating bad things someone has truly, actually, provably done is not defamation. Is everyone immune from criticism because stupid people also use criticism?
"truly actually probably done"
Do you even hear yourself? It's an accusation, nothing more.
It's not an accusation if there is proof... I think you're mistaken by the MAGA party. You know the party that said COVID wasn't real but it turned out to be very real. They said climate change isn't real but the whole nation experiences absurd weather conditions all year. They said Jan 6 was a day of peace but people got hurt and killed. Some feared for their life.
Please sit down. You don't know what a lie and a truth are. You probably can't tell the difference between a fact and an opinion either.
Donny loves the poorly educated
What proof?
I mistyped provably.
Dude paid $50,000 to a woman to drop the rape case against him, and you think it wasnt real? Innocent people don't pay people off. Companies, maybe
He is a Fox News talking head for Christ sake.
"A trail of documents, corroborated by the accounts of former colleagues, indicates that Hegseth was forced to step down by both of the two nonprofit advocacy groups that he ran—Veterans for Freedom and Concerned Veterans for America—in the face of serious allegations of financial mismanagement, sexual impropriety, and personal misconduct."
And then
"According to one report by a whistleblower, Hegseth was accused of having "treated the organization funds like they were a personal expense account"
So a felonious rapist. Sounds kinda familiar.
Sounds like DARVO.
Perspective depends largely on one's preferred flavor of capitalist/imperialist narrative.
