Democrats and the Media Are Trying to ‘Brett Kavanaugh’ Trump DoD Pick Pete Hegseth
“The media has gone into smear-fest mode and won’t stop until they get a scalp.”
Anyone who has followed even a modest amount of political news over the last decade can see what Democrats and the media are trying to do to Pete Hegseth, Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Defense. You can see it from a hundred miles away. You can see it from space.
They are trying to do to Hegseth what they did to now Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. They’re digging for dirt which will be used to make mud which they will then drag him through in an attempt to ruin him.
Karol Markowicz writes at the New York Post:
Don’t let the left do to Pete Hegseth what it did to Brett Kavanaugh
It’s become a familiar story.
A man is about to reach an upper echelon of public life when an accusation from his past resurfaces.
Sometimes it’s a bad joke made in a woman’s presence or a rebuffed advance while the man was in a supervisor role.
Other times it’s far more serious accusations of assault.
The latter is what is happening right now to Donald Trump’s pick for secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth.
It’s the Brett Kavanaugh show all over again.
Hegseth has vigorously denied the accusation, but that hasn’t mattered.
The media has gone into smear-fest mode and won’t stop until they get a scalp.
Republicans should not let them take Hegseth’s.
The assault story is suspect, and it’s OK to say so.
The police report details that a “Jane Doe” had seen Hegseth flirt with some women at the conference, Doe approached him to tell him off, specifically that she “did not appreciate how he treated women.”
You know what? I don’t care. None of this has anything to do with why Trump thinks Hegseth is right for the job. The left just wants another scalp and I’m sick to death of letting them define the terms of the debate.
The New York Times has even tried to drag Hegseth’s own mother into this. Megyn Kelly commented on Twitter/X:
ICYMI @PeteHegseth’s mom sent him a “you are behaving very badly” email during his divorce (she’s a good mom!) and the NYT is ALL IN on it. Next we will hear from his aunt who accused him of being late in sending his thank you cards after Christmas six years ago.

From The Hill:
Hegseth’s mother complained about his treatment of women: NYT
The mother of Pete Hegseth, President-elect Trump’s pick for Defense secretary, reportedly sent him an email in 2018 accusing the former Fox News host of “routinely mistreating women for years” and displaying a “lack of character,” The New York Times reported on Friday.
“On behalf of all the women (and I know it’s many) you have abused in some way, I say … get some help and take an honest look at yourself,” Penelope Hegseth wrote to her son, according to text of the email published by the Times.
“I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth,” she added, according to The Times.
That’s nice. I don’t give a damn. Now what?
You know what I do care about? The Pentagon just failed its seventh audit in a row. The U.S. Military has been struggling to recruit new members for four years. The Biden administration screwed up and allowed U.S. service members to be killed during their botched withdrawal of Afghanistan. That’s what I care about.
A loud message must be sent to the Senate GOP. Allow this man to be ‘Kavanaughed’ at your own peril.

PREDICTION: The media and the Democrat Party (but I repeat myself) will be surprised that their smear tactics no longer work.
Trump’s nominees should not apologize, retreat or surrender.
Flirting with women is not an offense. It just isn’t.
And in his mother’s email, when she refers to him “abusing” women she seems to mean cheating on them. Which again is not an offense.
There doesn’t seem to be any suggestion, from anyone, that he actually abused anyone, as that term is generally used. No indication that he hit anyone, harmed anyone, forced himself on anyone.
The Jane Doe accusation seems to be that a woman took advantage of him while he was drunk, which if anything makes him a victim and apparently according to the left that makes him immune from any blame.
Why would someone’s Mother copy her friends on such a devastating email to her son? That’s what Hegseth’s Mom did. And, one of those friends released it to the Press. She may have effectively destroyed her son’s career.
Bad Parenting Hall of Fame nominee.
As someone who has attended more conferences than I can remember, there is always a percentage of participants drinking too much and fornicating. When I was single it was fun. So the demonrats are using the same playbook. Ask Kameltoe how that worked out for her. Pete just needs to keep his head down and avoid saying anything stupid between now and his confirmation hearing. President Trump won’t back down. Pete shouldn’t either.
I hope that those trashing him are reminded that bringing false testimony is a crime and this time I hope the GOP will actually hold them accountable.
Two problems with that.
First, they haven’t testified about anything yet, and we don’t know whether they will.
Second, if you charge witnesses with perjury the burden of proof shifts, and rather than them having to prove the story is true, you have to prove it’s false. And you have to prove it beyond reasonable doubt.
Did I miss something? How did the media obtain the 2018 email from his mother?
For enough money many things can be obtained. About 100 years ago it was standard practice for newspapers to pay burglars to break into people’s houses and steal photographs of them.
The mother – for reasons known only to her – cc:d some friends on the email she sent to Pete. Obviously, one of those ‘friends’ or perhaps even the mother herself, sent the Times a copy of the email. I grew up in a family led by patriarchs and matriarchs that embraced a First Principle that says: Don’t ever air the family laundry in public. So, I’m having difficulty wrapping my ahead around the idea a mother would cc: some friends into this kind of communication with her son, or even that such a communication would be made by email. But, it clearly happened, so here we are.
Brett Kavanaugh has very well documented and plausible egregious acts of misogyny

The enemy wants Hegseth to withdraw himself from consideration via slander against him and from his family that has to cope with it. He may survive unless the RINOs buckle.
I thought such behavior is a plus for a politician, based on Democrat history.
Someone on Xtwitter enlarged a picture of a Trump nominee showing him wearing a Freemason lapel pin and people were reacting to it as if were a Soviet Order of Lenin or Nazi party badge.
And then another person posted a photo of Cramer the actor in Seinfeld wearing a 33.3 degree pin. And people were losing their fn minds over that, too.
Say, I’m in a mischievous mood today. Let’s call a few Democrats to testify about how true the accusations were against them, and whether they think those accusations showed that incapable of performing their duties.

“Democrats and the media…”
Redundant. The “mainstream media”, and a considerable proportion of the so-called alternative media, have been the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party for decades.
