Norm Coleman highlighted the stark contrast between Lloyd Austin's honorable confirmation and Pete Hegseth's problematic history, implying it was time to try something different in defense leadership.
Despite severe allegations against Pete Hegseth, including sexual assault and financial misconduct, the Senate confirmation process navigated these concerns without engaging deeply in his personal controversies.
Democratic aides revealed a strategy to oppose Hegseth without delving into rape allegations, seeking common ground with Republicans on which to collaboratively question his suitability.
The accusations against Hegseth, including those from his own mother, underscore a troubling acceptance in some political circles of behavior that traditionally would disqualify an individual for high office.
