Maggie Haberman Trump whisperer on Pete Hegseth



What to do if you appear to have a massive alcohol problem and mentioned for a job with an adjudicated rapist and unabashed sex predator? Definitely bring up a #SCOTUS confirmation where someone who also likes beer and faced down a decades old accusation of sexual assault got confirmed partly because the President who nominated the judge suppressed thousands of reports to the FBI. The sexual harassment and drunkenness accusations are a lot fresher and NOTHING about Hegseth's financial mismanagement record suggests he will be anywhere near competent to ensure a bipartisan audit, let alone manage the Pentagon budget. I don't care what Hegseth's mom says. Women across the political spectrum are sick of the Rapist Elect putting in place other rapists. And the number of Hegseth's drunken fiascoes definitely does not bode well for his ability to maintain composure during a global crisis. Ba-bye Pete.


PS, from another Twitter / x rant: The Department of Defense is supposed to defend all of the US, not just drunk Christians who shriek kill all Muslims.

PPS. Between the famous letter from Hegseth's mom and coworkers' comments about Pete's treatment of female coworkers, RantWoman wonders whether Pete's own difficulty about women in combat might partly from an inability to think about women any other way than opportunities to play grabass.
