Friend,
Move over Matt Gaetz, Tulsi Gabbard, Dr. Oz, Kash Patel, Elon Musk, Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi, because this guy may actually have you beat with scandals! Pete Hegseth, the Fox and Friends host and Trump’s pick for Secretary of Defense, has had a really rough go at things over the past few days. And now, word on the street is, it may cost him the position. Let’s take a look at what’s making Trump sweat his decision, shall we?
First thing’s first, he paid off a woman who accused him of rape. Yep, he took a page right out of the ol’ Donald Trump playbook. Back in 2017, a woman accused Pete of raping her at a Republican women’s conference in California. It didn’t take long for the Washington Post to dig up the NDA and expose the payment that he claims was precautionary because this took place at the height of the #MeToo Movement. You’ll be shocked to know that Donald Trump, the king of NDAs, was quick to come out in Pete’s defense after this was all made public.
His own mom called him “an abuser of women.” Instead of explaining the email from his mother, we’ll just leave our favorite quote right here: “your abuse over the years to women (dishonesty, sleeping around, betrayal, debasing, belittling) needs to be called out.” We couldn’t agree more.
He’s a nightmare in the workplace. Want to know why Pete fit in so well at Fox News? All you have to do is look at his previous work experience. Or, the report from a whistleblower who previously worked with him. Former employees say that Pete blew all kinds of company cash (and remember, this is a non-profit for veterans) on loads of booze, strip clubs (including one where he got so drunk that it took his team to restrain him from getting on stage), and fancy hotels (one of which he sat at the lobby bar chanting “Kill all Muslims!”) Ah, and outside of the misusing funds stuff, he made unwanted sexual advances at several female colleagues. While married.
We’re thinking this is just the tip of the iceberg. There are definitely more skeletons in his attic, and naturally, we want them revealed. Remember, this guy is potentially days away from being confirmed as a top official in the PENTAGON. He can’t be trusted at a strip club, so are we really going to trust him with the nuclear codes? Help us keep up the pressure. Help us expose this guy to every last American. Help us make sure Trump shows Pete Hegseth the door >> <[link removed]>
