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 KavanaughIt’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:
From The Hill:
Hegseth’s mother complained about his treatment of women: NYTThe 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.
