Pete Hegseth, nominated for Defense Secretary by Donald Trump, faces allegations including rape, domestic violence, and alcohol abuse. His second wife, Samantha, reportedly feared for her safety, highlighting troubling claims made by his former sister-in-law. While Hegseth's attorney dismisses these allegations as politically motivated, support from Trump and Senate Republicans emphasizes a troubling trend within the party to overlook accusations of abuse. Comparisons to the Kavanaugh hearings emerge, suggesting a willingness among Republicans to advance candidates despite serious allegations against them, reflecting Trump's brand of masculinity and the political climate.
Allegations of rape, alcohol abuse, and domestic violence surround Pete Hegseth as he is nominated for Defense Secretary in the Trump administration.
Despite serious allegations, Republicans, including Trump, are prepared to advance Hegseth's career, reminiscent of previous contentious confirmation battles.
