Excellent analysis of the situation. As much as I trust Trump team’s choice for DoD Secretary, character DOES matter. Perfection should not be expected.
I still maintain that the drinking is the only real issue from this incident related to being Sec. of Def. If Pete can convincingly show he's conquered that, fine. If not, no go. Sec. of Def. has to be 100%, on short notice, 24/7/365.
I was hopeful that Pete would be a good appointee for this position. However I think this interlude and alleged crime will preclude him from moving forward with a nomination. Sorry Pete I was rooting for you
THATs what we are trying to get rid of. Just cuz the others side does immorality does not justify the other side behaving the same. Two wrongs dont make a right!
Buyer's remorse??!! If this comes out to be a false allegation I believe 100% that a woman that accuses a man of rape and it is false and it is proven that it was a false allegation that woman should go to jail. You are messing with a man's life and his reputation.
@@onsong7181 exactly!!! that happened how long ago and now because he's a nominee for a position why didn't she come forward when he was just a regular Joe on Fox News
As a survivor of rape, I don’t say this lightly. But, it sounds like more of a sexual pursuit/assault by her towards him. I feel sorry for everyone in this story, except her. Thank you for the deep dive on this one!
Never fool around with a Republican or religious woman. They will construct these ridiculous denials in their minds to try to escape the guilt over what they did.
This happened to my nephew and it ruined his life. The woman he had been seeing had a boyfriend, said boyfriend found out and she cried rape. She went with it. He had to sell his home to pay for a lawyer. He was only 24 years old. He had saved to buy his first home and now it was gone. They had a bench trial and thankfully the judge saw right through all of it and issued a decision at the end of the 2 day trial. He ripped that young woman a new one! For about 20 minutes he lectured her about her actions and how wrong it was. At that time I wasn't in a financial position to help him and either was his family. He had to start all over again. We love in a small town of 25,000 people. Of course everyone had heard about it. He lost most of his friends but 2 of the best stuck by him. It was horrible. I don't believe this woman. Buyers remorse comes to mind...
It's obvious. The husband suspected her, she comes in at 4:00 saying she fell asleep. He didnt believe her, they probably argued all week about it. She came up with a rape story when she was caught.
I don't believe it was an assault, I think both consented. But man, it still stinks. Banging a married woman with her husband and kids down the hall is not something I could ever do. The same goes for her, She just had to come up with something to get her off the hook....shame on both of them.
her constant texting about Hegseth to her husband indicated an obsession with him and her confronting Hegseth about coming on to the other lady indicated jealousy on her part. Sounds like she was the sober predator and Hegseth was the inebriated victim.
I call BS on this one. She got caught with her panties down..trying to cover her rear end 5 days later. What a shame. Pete needs to keep his Pete to himself
I know this wasn’t an easy show for Megyn Kelly. I have even more respect for her now than I did before. Mainstream media could learn a lot from her because this is what people want. We want to consume facts so that we can develop informed opinions.
Retired Command Sergeant Major Infantryman here... 27 years active duty... If you've served in multiple combat zones and have many years of service - you will likely have more than one wife and many women coming and going. It's an intense life with intense physical, mental and emotional back-lash. This guys misadventures with women are EXTREMELY common in the military. That said.. As soon as you enter the political battle-field there are no rules. Little truth... No decency... Anyone's sex life can be morbidly broken down and torn apart. ANYONE... We will never know the truth. ps. Would any of this be happening if he were not nominated? Answer: NOPE
Gulf War Marine and current Navy Chaplain. The Command Sergeant Major speaks the truth. I don’t approve of the cheating and musical wives lifestyle, but it is indeed a hard life. The irony in all of this, of course, is that our political class and “elite” media presume to preach on this topic. What a farce!
I’m a 73-year old Trump voter and retired Navy Captain with 31 years of service having enlisted in 1970; retiring in 2002. Thanks so much with your thoughtful and comprehensive analysis. I completely agree with your conclusions and will be much more informed as we head forward to confirmation though I’m not comfortable with his marital behavior. Thanks again for your preparation and presentation!
@@cleverkittnbut he did cheat on his previous 2 wives and had a baby with the woman he cheated with who he was presumably with based on his insta posts. He’s a serial cheater, some people be it male or female can be afflicted.
Appreciate you telling it like it is Megyn. No matter who it is. I love Pete, but he needs to withdraw from this post. This post needs to be represented by someone with a better clean record. Someone that the young man in the service can look up to . Character matters. Love you Megyn ❤
What blows my mind is that Pete would not have taken his name from consideration to begin with - he knows his questionable history already. Who on earth would even want to risk all this being revealed to the world?
I did criminal defense work for nearly 20 years. Nothing in this story leads me to believe that this woman was raped. That said, although I love Pete at DOD for a variety of reasons, his lack of judgment is troubling. How easily could he be compromised by our enemies? That is the concern he may not escape.
[Edit: I was reacting to yesterday’s video and not this one…my mistake!]. She keeps skipping the part though that we should be concerned about the character of Pete and not this other woman. Pete was cheating at this time…he had a 2 month old baby with a fox coworker….conceived while he was married to his second wife. He’s has cheated on all 3 of his wives. Megyn is going after the women instead of addressing the man’s character and honesty. Even if the incident was consensual he has shown he has no character. And he preaches conservative Christian values which is completely hypocritical.
@@MamaLee5actually you are right. I watched the video from yesterday and was so grossed out by it all I couldn’t bear to watch Megyn going play by play over this incident when I think it’s beside the point, whether this was consensual or not. I jumped to a conclusion when I saw so many people were defending Pete. I assumed she had left out the sordid back story. But it makes me wonder why so. Many people still think he is a fine candidate for the job?
33:00 if your female partner (gf/fiance/wife) ever tells you about another man, unprompted, and then tells you how much other people find him attractive, you should be on alert and your ears should be perked
This is what l'm gathering. Pete didn't look her way. He was interested in someone else. She wanted attention at all cost based on the negative messages between she and her husband. She got what she wanted from Pete while he was intoxicated and she was not. This woman lied about the entire story.
Why is it only men who get prosecuted if the woman is drunk? Anyway, I was thinking the woman was saying those things about Pete because she was trying to make sure her husband thought she 'wasn't interested in him'. she knew she was going back to his room. But yes she was also jealous of the attention he gave others.
I thought the same. He was probably nice to her and she probably made up this fantastical story of her getting the guy, so when she saw him treating the other girls flirtatious she became upset. Otherwise why would she be upset with him and yelling at him. Then to make sure she gives off that she despises him, what better way than to tell your husband how much you dislike him. If you don’t like him than you wouldn’t even have much to say about him. She over did that. All shows as a horrible sex crime scene that ends up being not what is said.
Usually if they cheat with you, they’ll cheat on you. I don’t know that that disqualifies him though. He’s crap at personal relationships, but can he clean up the DOD? That’s all I want to know.
Yeah this certainly would keep me from endorsing his marriage proposal to a woman in my family but I’m not sure what it has to do with winning the DOD. Which is why they are pushing the abuse allegations. Just wondered why all of them were silent about Kamala’s Dougie boy
Megyn Kelly is so fair and balanced I really appreciate and respect her integrity and her willingness to talk about the real facts of every story. Ladies and gentlemen of the used to be Legacy Media need watch and learn from a true journalist
the problem with these cases is when LE declines to file, but leaves the case hanging. They almost never pursue false report charges as per most depts policies. this leaves the innocent accused with the accusation always hanging over his head.
I love PH. As a soldier. I don’t think we need to start off like this and President Trump has other options. I’m a vet and so is my husband. This is asking for trouble and Trump’s new administration doesn’t need it.
@hannag.7813 hi Hanna... sorry I am not too clued up about this damned notification system and I probably won't find what I said originally. I'm sorry that I probably offended you. Please be gracious and forgive me🙏
"Does character matter?" It absolutely should. I would prefer if we had someone with high morals in every office, including the White House. However I voted for Trump because we had a binary choice, and I really have been convinced that God chose Trump for this time. But his nominees are not a binary choice. There are plenty of men who could accomplish what Hegseth wants to, but who haven't cheated in all three of their marriages. Or had three to begin with. If we were in a perfect world, all our leaders would be moral paragons. We're not, but we should stick as close to that as we possibly can.
Wow….im piecing this together. With my 37 years of experience with women…. Why did she even bother talking to her husband about Pete to begin with? I’ll tell you: she started off automatically painting him in a negative light because she knew what she was going to do as soon as she met him. She described him as this pig… a real dog of a man. She related him to a guy that both of them knew and both she and her husband did not like and had a notorious reputation for being a womanizer. The only thing positive that she mentioned about him was that he had a good speaking voice. She did all of this to disarm her husband and to “reassure” him that he had nothing to worry about in the event he was not able to get a hold of her later on in the night. She’s thinking that since she spoke so negatively about Pete that there’s no way her husband would suspect that she would ever sleep with the guy.
They both cheated but she called rape when husband figured it out. Probably not first time she cheated. As for Hegseth, I have lost respect for him. Fidelity to the military is second to marriage vows.
Seems as though they are both cheaters. Nevertheless, he can’t seem to keep his schmeckle in his pants. Pete is most definitely someone who has trouble with fidelity and honesty.
I think Jane Doe had 2 sexual encounters n either of those 2 are her husband, Pete n the other one that had the condom on. Because it's very odd to me that her husband would be wearing a condom, if that's the case he definitely knows that he married a cheater. Then there is the case where the Husband n the Wife are setting Pete up for a number of beneficial opportunities and / or to sabotage his position. As for Peter maybe he should start by changing his first name to Dick.
It would be one thing if he was just a playboy. But he wrecked his own relationships and those of his partners. More than coercion, what prevents him to being open to petty corruption.
Vote of “No Confidence” for Pete Hegseth. Character matters, the ability to make intelligent decisions matters, honesty matters. Pete has questionable character/integrity, makes stupid decisions, and is a proven liar/cheater. Sad. 😔
Let’s not try TOO hard to defend him. If you can cheat and lie that many times and that consistently, you will have consequences at some point. That’s a big deal. Having the ability to lie to someone’s face is a chilling thing- and a pattern. Let’s give the opportunity to someone else.
Im a retired veteran, I will tell you that if you think this doesn't happen often, you live in a dream world. Point being people are people, it happens. Even if it doesn't end up in completing the act, there are times it gets pretty close.
Sounds like a cheater, yes, but I didn’t hear a report of him lying about it. Definitely a history of sexual misconduct and 2 divorces as a result, but I don’t see where he has lied to anyone’s face. I agree the womanizing is a character flaw, but I don’t think it disqualifies him from the position he’s nominated for. Just my opinion, and I do respect yours.
Nah, he is not happy and hasn't found the right one yet! Let's talk about all the women who go after the married men, why doesn't anyone call them a POS, such a double standard! They kiss their kids with those mouths 💋
This isn’t disgusting, it was wrong because he was drunk and he should learn to control his drinking. I think that is the first thing he should do. Maybe he has done that, this happened in 2017. It did not happen last night.
@ well, if this was an isolated event, I would definitely agree with you. However, the first 10 minutes of this video delineates his previous activity with his other wives. One time is a mistake, but a pattern indicates deeper issues, all of which I find disgusting.
@@proudmomma7095I agree with you that it’s disgusting and it’s important to call out when someone is such an unhealthy person. I think we need to do better than this. So many things can go wrong when someone is this unwell. Not to mention it’s setting a terrible example for our children. Behave like this and get into positions of power and respect? Ugh. No thanks.
He needs to file charges against her for false allegations. She literally “sought him out” at the party and was obviously jealous that his eye was NOT on her. Just because he’s a “player,” it doesn’t make him a rapist. She was a clearly after him and a willing participant-her accusations are disgusting.
When I was a young 2nd Lt. In the Army stationed in Germany back in the 1990’s, my Brigade commander was the boss, a true leader and loved by the troops. He eventually became the Chief of Staff for the Division Commander, and I was also promoted and moved into a unit that supported the Commanding General (CG). I would run into him from time to time as my platoon supported the Tactical Operations Center (TOC) directly when we deployed into the field. One day he vanished. No explanation… nothing. I found out later he was forced to retire after the CG called in the Criminal Investigation Division (CID) after suspecting someone/something was going on as his desk appeared to be rummaged through when he would come in the next morning. CID set up a camera in his office for a week and concluded the investigation when they discovered the Chief of Staff was banging his secretary on the CG’s desk, and they got it on video. He was married with 3 kids, and I remember my heart sinking upon learning the news of his career ending behavior. Leaders should be held to a higher standard, especially when lives are on the line. Nobody is perfect, nor do I expect people to be perfect. I do expect leaders to exercise good judgement. Pete’s behavior demonstrates he is deficient in this area, and that is concerning and, in my option, a disqualifying aspect for the job he is being nominated for. Same thing with General Patreus. He tried to hide his affair and got caught. We need to trust our leaders, especially military leaders, to be able to control their urges to conduct themselves with integrity and honesty. Even the appearance of unethical behavior is a problem. If he is willing to violate his vow (Oath) to his spouse(S), how can we expect him to honor his oath of office and not be corrupted?
It was seven years ago at least so he may have changed and grown up more since then. It sounds like she is full of shit. And he was between marriages according to megan
"Trying not to go R rated on you". Gosh I love Megyn!! Gday from Oz. Also love the way Megyn can follow time lines and the fine details. She's awesome!
They argued by the pool about his hitting on a different woman because the " handler" was jealous. She had designs on him and was pissed. Plus, Hegseth is, definitely, an ahole.
This guy sounds like a security risk. Sexual self control is clearly weak, making him a blackmail risk. Trump should move on and do a better job of vetting his nominees.
As much as I thought PH could be a great leader, Megyn’s analysis just changed my opinion. It’s common and almost expected for business leaders, but very risky for military commanders.
Sorry, but he obviously has an integrity problem. One time,is a slip. 3 times(that we know of), I don’t think so. Yeah, most men cheat, but this guy has made a hobby of it. I feel sorry for his kids.
His real honest relationship is with the military and his men. There are men who have interpersonal relationship problems. Ask how he has done his job in the past and what he knows.
I believe she has exceptional skills and insights; it would be fantastic to see her consider a role as vice president one day. Her ability to accurately assess situations is truly impressive.
I was supportive of his nomination. BUT, after learning this. I believe he would be a security risk. He apparently has no control over his urges. That makes him and security risk.
I feel certain the deep state will throw sexual opportunities his way early on and use them against him. He doesn’t show a lot of restraint in this area, and that vulnerability concerns me.
The infidelity to existing relationships concerns me more than him being a horndog. How many corrupt leaders skim off the top thinking it is fine as long as no one gets directly hurt? And this is the person to clean up the DoD?
Damn it, Pete! Best case-scenario, which I believe to be the case, is you’re a serial philanderer and, more likely than not, either an alcoholic or binge drinker (or both) in need. Prior to this knowledge, having watched you on Fox over the years, and especially after seeing you on Sean Ryan’s podcast, I couldn’t think of a better man to enact Trump’s mandate in the armed services. I’m disappointed to say I’ve changed my mind, as service members need a better role model in their leader. Get right and make a comeback, brother!!
I also feel that even though this is horrid moral behaviour, we should put it in the context of having been 8 years ago. By all accounts (people like Will Cain wanting him to be one of their pallbearers) and his recommitment to his faith, this could be a story of redemption if he is allowed to make the change at the DOD that is necessary.
This happened in 2017. Has Pete changed? Because if he hasn’t, he is going to be venerable to blackmail. He won’t be able to do the job if he is compromised.
There is plenty of time til confirmation, so we’ll see if any other women crawl out of the woodwork to report an affair. My guess he meant that post “grateful” & he was scared straight by this incident
Unfortunate lack of character. I appreciate you being honest about this. Is there anyone else who could fix the DoD? He definitely understands the problem and what needs to be done.
Judge much, "let he who is without sin cast the first stone". What does his sex life, personal no less, have anything to do with how he will run the DOD. Our veterans have been thrown in the garbage and mistreated after defending you and our country. Pete will change this for those men and women! Hang in there Pete you got this ❤
The fact that adultery is a punishable offense under the Uniform Code of Military Justice combined with the fact that Pete has acknowledged committing adultery no less than 3 times suggests he is not fit to be Secretary of Defense which is unfortunate.
You are spot on, Megyn! I'm so sick of these women crying rape because they can't admit to an affair. It's an insult to women who are truly assaulted. I do not believe that for one second she was raped.
I don’t trust him. I was all for him, but knowing chronic cheaters, yeah this isn’t going to help us. He has a problem. Is he going to compromise us because he can’t control himself?
No, it's the way Congress acts towards sexual behavior that creates the problem. If they said, it's none of our business, we don't care, then it can't be used for blackmail. Any person would just admit what they did and move on.
Okay, so the rape accusation is most likely bogus. End of that story. But, Pete has a history of not controlling his libido. Doesn't this raise concerns about his potentially being drawn into compromising situations when he is in a major position involving national security? I saw videos about this 50 years ago when I went through Army security training.
@Lyndadeve1376-_xyz The poster isn't vying for a top level position in government. The lack of discretion and loyalty that the average Joe might exhibit may hurt a few. The same from a commander with the responsibility of a nation could be devastating. I've always liked Pete but I certainly don't respect him after all this has come to light.
LEO 34 years wish Megyn was prosecutor on all my cases, and I would not need to train her ever on interview interrogation skills. She is the best, and I learn from her all the time.
If he wasn’t charge it doesn’t need to be brought up. Sounds like a woman who wanted him because she was jealous of him and the other women. I don’t believe her she should get charged
Sorry but this is too much. Pete simply can not be put in the position of trust with a nation that needs to trust again. He's got to resign his name from Trump's list.
I've got mad respect for your critical assessment of this rather unsavory series of reports and especially your highly objective dissection of this difficult material...Bravo Megyn!!
.....I have a daughter whose drink was spiked.....she was 18.....she too was on CCTV.....this man had her by the wrist.....and even though she was walking okay she tried to pull her arm away and that is when you could absolutely tell there was something wrong.....her movements were slow motion......she awoke the next day in a house that was completely empty except for a pitbull.....her clothing folded neatly....she dressed and escaped out a window.....no memory.....went immediately to the police.....with the support of a friend.....they took the clothing and handbag as evidence.....the handbag was wiped clean of fingerprints....even hers.....she was so traumatized and afraid.....afraid she would run into these blokes (yes there were two according to rape kit DNA)....and not know who they were.....it was the worst of times.....initially we got a lovely detective but he was moved to a homicide and then we got a very young detective who made my daughter feel like a trash bag.....it has taken years & years of counseling.....I am calling BS on this woman.....she was cheating and had buyers remorse.....these date rape drugs just about wipe the memory bank and also she left two hours later which would not be possible with a date rape drug....
Totally agree I still have no memory from the night I was spiked. I was lucky I wasn't a bit of a kid and had only one drink so knew something was wrong. I'm so sorry for what your daughter went through I do agree that it wipes out all memory of what happens once it has kicked in
Agree - I really admire his record and education - he is good looking for sure - but I find his lack of morality very upsetting - I concur with the others he is not applying for the morality police, but I think that our leaders should exhibit a better moral compass - I am disappointed in this history. The confirmation panel will ultimately decide. Thank you for fair and honest reporting Megyn. We will see.
He clearly can't control his alcohol or his penis, After hearing all of this I'm not sure he should be given the position of SD. I admire his service and education but this is a really big position in the government. I feel like he is a potential future scandal. I also believe that the woman wasn't raped
It sounds like the one who was raped here may have been Hegseth. An intoxicated person cannot consent. If the roles were reversed and the female was the intoxicated party people would be all over this fact. His gross repationship behaviors notwithstanding.
Thanks for shinning a light on this. After hearing all the allegations and situations that Pete got himself into, i think that he needs to remove himself from the nomination. He gas a pattern of getting himself in bad judgments and he may get himself in trouble again while in his capacity as a defense secretary. This is an important position, and we need someone that has better judgment.
Sad. I was all about him but even with no rape, he also has no character. I believe he didnt rape her, but I wouldnt respect him as a leader for cheating on his children and wife. sorry dude.
You also need to keep in mind that he was not married when this happened (they got married in 2019) and this incident happened 7 years ago. Can people change their lives during a 7 year period?
I am a Trump supporter. Whether the woman is telling the truth, Pete sounds like a narcissist. It is better that he withdraws from this huge job and responsibility.
Since Pete has a problem with his “randy,” why in the world would he have a female handler? We, the American people do not need this kind of drama with President Trump’s second term. I would not hesitate with his track record to vote no. We must return to some moral character with the nominee and that individual’s ability to stay focused on their job. Pete obviously gets side track quite easily. He is a huge disappointment. Gatze did the right thing, he stepped down. We deserve better!
Happens way more than you realize, women go after men in high powered positions, mind you I’m a woman saying this . Sounds like she was the aggressor, he’s just stupid to put himself in this kind of situation. Really don’t think this situation should discredit his ability to fulfill his duties.🤷♀️
@@jeaniefoust6502it goes back to the alcohol being the first mistake that put him in a state of compromised judgment /inhibition, that was taken advantage of. It was 10 years ago, so the question is has he matured and gotten past the drinking, or is that still a problem?
My goodness. He's not being nominated for boyfriend or husband of the year. Did his fellow soldiers trust his judgement when it really matters? Obviously. That to me is what is most important.
I agree that that’s MOST important, but there ARE military veterans of integrity. There are veterans who would be trustworthy in their personal lives AND their work lives! Look wider, President Trump!
Of course military skills and know-how are important, but if you want to lead the most powerful army in the world, good values and a moral compass are crucial.

It was fun watching Megyn uncomfortably describe the sex details.
It’s not uncomfortable..

Of course…. But we all know the standards are dif.

Buyer's remorse??!! If this comes out to be a false allegation I believe 100% that a woman that accuses a man of rape and it is false and it is proven that it was a false allegation that woman should go to jail. You are messing with a man's life and his reputation.
A big question is: why now.
It’s pretty much impossible to prove exactly how it went down in a case like this where they both admit an encounter happened. He said/she said
With the advent of the internet men are starting to realize this is an example of women's nature that the public tries to pretend doesn't exist.
Never will happen, that’s like convincing the courts to allow DNA tests on child support cases

No rape but bad judgment on Pete's part. It's clear President Trump was being wise in foregoing alcohol altogether.
Get it together Pete

Bingo. “We call this post nut clarity” you want to in the moment and experience regret after it’s over and how bad of an idea it was.
I don't believe it was an assault, I think both consented. But man, it still stinks. Banging a married woman with her husband and kids down the hall is not something I could ever do. The same goes for her, She just had to come up with something to get her off the hook....shame on both of them.
Lol@@justinsgarage1125lol 😆 is that what we call it?
She thought she caught an STD. So she asked her husband to use a condom, and then claimed rape
100%
her constant texting about Hegseth to her husband indicated an obsession with him and her confronting Hegseth about coming on to the other lady indicated jealousy on her part. Sounds like she was the sober predator and Hegseth was the inebriated victim.
Exactly, sounds to me like she was interested him him and was jealous of his attentions towards other women.
Victim????
Flirting with Pete poorPete
Couldn't have said it better myself. Exactly my thoughts
@@RuthStokerif he was really drunk which they say video shows she wasn’t so I call him victim she wanted him because the other women wanted him
It was consensual between 2 adults and not a rape. Extremely poor decision from both adults. It's a huge scandal and flawed character behavior.
Thanks, Megyn!
Well done, explaining this nightmare!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I call BS on this one. She got caught with her panties down..trying to cover her rear end 5 days later. What a shame. Pete needs to keep his Pete to himself
So men can't have consensual sex for fear of a rape allegation? That doesn't make sense. And he was also intoxicated and could not give consent.
😂😂😂
Can he though?
@@janabreza246 legally no. But thea law isn't applied to women.

What a respectful Way to expose his background. You are first class Megyn
Retired Command Sergeant Major Infantryman here... 27 years active duty... If you've served in multiple combat zones and have many years of service - you will likely have more than one wife and many women coming and going. It's an intense life with intense physical, mental and emotional back-lash. This guys misadventures with women are EXTREMELY common in the military. That said.. As soon as you enter the political battle-field there are no rules. Little truth... No decency... Anyone's sex life can be morbidly broken down and torn apart. ANYONE... We will never know the truth. ps. Would any of this be happening if he were not nominated? Answer: NOPE
Gulf War Marine and current Navy Chaplain. The Command Sergeant Major speaks the truth. I don’t approve of the cheating and musical wives lifestyle, but it is indeed a hard life. The irony in all of this, of course, is that our political class and “elite” media presume to preach on this topic. What a farce!
SHE GOT CAUGHT AND TRYING TO COVER IT UP BY SAYING RAPE!!! WOMEN LIKE THIS ARE DISPICABLE!!!
And should be charged and thrown in jail for the same amount of time the assaulter would have served.
And she needed to invent the story about being drugged to avoid any type of accountability.
Any woman that can detail tell you everything about another person is highly suspicious
And she used a condom with her husband lmfao. Imagine being her husband. Poor guy lol😂
@@carinabalangue1696 I believe women should be charged if the allegations are false.
Sounds like Pete needs to stop drinking. He seems to get himself entangled with women when drunk.
And he’s super attractive. Women fall all over him.
@@roadpizza3470don't care this compromises US!!! DON'T 💩where you sit ...
But does that mean that he's not fit to lead a department or be a fighter next to Donald trump?
This story was from years ago and yes, by all accounts he had changed his behavior and will be good in this position for vets and the dept overall.
@@cleverkittnseven years at least
I’m a 73-year old Trump voter and retired Navy Captain with 31 years of service having enlisted in 1970; retiring in 2002. Thanks so much with your thoughtful and comprehensive analysis. I completely agree with your conclusions and will be much more informed as we head forward to confirmation though I’m not comfortable with his marital behavior. Thanks again for your preparation and presentation!
Thank you for your service, Sir!
Thank you for your services
He wasn’t married at the time. SHE was.
@@cleverkittnbut he did cheat on his previous 2 wives and had a baby with the woman he cheated with who he was presumably with based on his insta posts. He’s a serial cheater, some people be it male or female can be afflicted.
He should decline the nomination. He exhibits extremely poor judgement and a total lack of self-control that makes him unqualified for this position.
Appreciate you telling it like it is Megyn. No matter who it is. I love Pete, but he needs to withdraw from this post. This post needs to be represented by someone with a better clean record. Someone that the young man in the service can look up to . Character matters. Love you Megyn ❤
What blows my mind is that Pete would not have taken his name from consideration to begin with - he knows his questionable history already. Who on earth would even want to risk all this being revealed to the world?
Proves the age old saying "If he'll cheat with you, he'll cheat on you."
You lose him like you got him! 😊
Sheesh 🙄 he needs to just be single or take a class at not getting caught lol jk that second part
jeez you got that right ... I swear ... 😂😂😂😂😂
You meant she. He was not married. Lol
@@nestorvelazquez6031Yes he was!
I did criminal defense work for nearly 20 years. Nothing in this story leads me to believe that this woman was raped. That said, although I love Pete at DOD for a variety of reasons, his lack of judgment is troubling. How easily could he be compromised by our enemies? That is the concern he may not escape.
I don’t think he would have problems with that. His problem is that he should be careful about drinking. That is when we all can make wrong decisions
@@MsKTOBoyle oh God you're awesome thank you, I have trouble putting it nicely, lol.
@@MsKTOBoyle ya it shouts affair not rape
This is a good point. Hopefully he no longer drinks alcohol to excess.
Agree

[Edit: I was reacting to yesterday’s video and not this one…my mistake!]. She keeps skipping the part though that we should be concerned about the character of Pete and not this other woman. Pete was cheating at this time…he had a 2 month old baby with a fox coworker….conceived while he was married to his second wife. He’s has cheated on all 3 of his wives. Megyn is going after the women instead of addressing the man’s character and honesty. Even if the incident was consensual he has shown he has no character. And he preaches conservative Christian values which is completely hypocritical.
@@FertilityfromtheSoulClearly you didn’t watch this video because she spelled all that out in the first 3 minutes.
@@FertilityfromtheSoul I agree if he was applying for Director of Morality :)
@@JohnnySpotOn7🎯
@@MamaLee5actually you are right. I watched the video from yesterday and was so grossed out by it all I couldn’t bear to watch Megyn going play by play over this incident when I think it’s beside the point, whether this was consensual or not. I jumped to a conclusion when I saw so many people were defending Pete. I assumed she had left out the sordid back story. But it makes me wonder why so. Many people still think he is a fine candidate for the job?
What did she expect when she went to his room at 2am?
She is trying to cover her own guilt.
33:00 if your female partner (gf/fiance/wife) ever tells you about another man, unprompted, and then tells you how much other people find him attractive, you should be on alert and your ears should be perked
Truth!😂
Yep. Definitely.
Yeah, I felt secondhand anxiety hearing that text.
This is what l'm gathering. Pete didn't look her way. He was interested in someone else. She wanted attention at all cost based on the negative messages between she and her husband. She got what she wanted from Pete while he was intoxicated and she was not. This woman lied about the entire story.
🎯
Why is it only men who get prosecuted if the woman is drunk? Anyway, I was thinking the woman was saying those things about Pete because she was trying to make sure her husband thought she 'wasn't interested in him'. she knew she was going back to his room. But yes she was also jealous of the attention he gave others.
I thought the same. He was probably nice to her and she probably made up this fantastical story of her getting the guy, so when she saw him treating the other girls flirtatious she became upset. Otherwise why would she be upset with him and yelling at him. Then to make sure she gives off that she despises him, what better way than to tell your husband how much you dislike him. If you don’t like him than you wouldn’t even have much to say about him. She over did that.
All shows as a horrible sex crime scene that ends up being not what is said.
@@galilaya42Bingo! Exactly what I was thinking too.
@@puzzledwiththeworldYup!!! Nailed it.
Pete’s present wife knew he cheated on wife #2 for her. Usually once a cheater always a cheater.
Yup she made that bed lol
Usually if they cheat with you, they’ll cheat on you.
I don’t know that that disqualifies him though. He’s crap at personal relationships, but can he clean up the DOD? That’s all I want to know.
How well I know, was married 22 years to a cheater. They do it because they can .
Truth.
Yeah this certainly would keep me from endorsing his marriage proposal to a woman in my family but I’m not sure what it has to do with winning the DOD.
Which is why they are pushing the abuse allegations. Just wondered why all of them were silent about Kamala’s Dougie boy
Megyn Kelly is so fair and balanced I really appreciate and respect her integrity and her willingness to talk about the real facts of every story. Ladies and gentlemen of the used to be Legacy Media need watch and learn from a true journalist
the problem with these cases is when LE declines to file, but leaves the case hanging. They almost never pursue false report charges as per most depts policies. this leaves the innocent accused with the accusation always hanging over his head.
Thanks for the breakdown!
The girl that says rape is just trying to save her marriage and make it look like she didn't cheat.
I am like you about it Megyn. Kinda torn. However, the rape I do not believe for a second.
Agree and torn also
I love PH. As a soldier. I don’t think we need to start off like this and President Trump has other options. I’m a vet and so is my husband. This is asking for trouble and Trump’s new administration doesn’t need it.
Good point 🙏infantry officer in one of the best armies in the@world in the '80-s 🇿🇦
That's a very valid point
Yes!
What you said. Why in the world would you invent more trouble, and he lied to Trump.
@hannag.7813 hi Hanna... sorry I am not too clued up about this damned notification system and I probably won't find what I said originally. I'm sorry that I probably offended you. Please be gracious and forgive me🙏
Excellent report- riveting as well as fair.
"Does character matter?" It absolutely should. I would prefer if we had someone with high morals in every office, including the White House. However I voted for Trump because we had a binary choice, and I really have been convinced that God chose Trump for this time. But his nominees are not a binary choice. There are plenty of men who could accomplish what Hegseth wants to, but who haven't cheated in all three of their marriages. Or had three to begin with.
If we were in a perfect world, all our leaders would be moral paragons. We're not, but we should stick as close to that as we possibly can.
Wow….im piecing this together. With my 37 years of experience with women…. Why did she even bother talking to her husband about Pete to begin with? I’ll tell you: she started off automatically painting him in a negative light because she knew what she was going to do as soon as she met him. She described him as this pig… a real dog of a man. She related him to a guy that both of them knew and both she and her husband did not like and had a notorious reputation for being a womanizer. The only thing positive that she mentioned about him was that he had a good speaking voice. She did all of this to disarm her husband and to “reassure” him that he had nothing to worry about in the event he was not able to get a hold of her later on in the night. She’s thinking that since she spoke so negatively about Pete that there’s no way her husband would suspect that she would ever sleep with the guy.
Bingo!
Yep, and I think she had her husband wear protection right after because she didn’t with Pete and started worrying she could have “caught something”
False allegations need to be prosecuted !!!!
She also had sex with him when he was intoxicated. That's a rape charge as well.
Lies
She cheated on her Husband
@@natalielucero6881sounds like she cheated before..
Yes they d0
The wife is a cheater
They both cheated but she called rape when husband figured it out. Probably not first time she cheated. As for Hegseth, I have lost respect for him. Fidelity to the military is second to marriage vows.
@@Irishgirl-m1hhe wasn’t married.
Seems as though they are both cheaters. Nevertheless, he can’t seem to keep his schmeckle in his pants. Pete is most definitely someone who has trouble with fidelity and honesty.
Plain and Simple YUP!
I think Jane Doe had 2 sexual encounters n either of those 2 are her husband, Pete n the other one that had the condom on.
Because it's very odd to me that her husband would be wearing a condom, if that's the case he definitely knows that he married a cheater.
Then there is the case where the Husband n the Wife are setting Pete up for a number of beneficial opportunities and / or to sabotage his position.
As for Peter maybe he should start by changing his first name to Dick.
Should be DISQUALIFIED...
Purely because this type of admitted behaviour leaves a person open to coercion...
That should be enough..
It would be one thing if he was just a playboy. But he wrecked his own relationships and those of his partners. More than coercion, what prevents him to being open to petty corruption.
Vote of “No Confidence” for Pete Hegseth. Character matters, the ability to make intelligent decisions matters, honesty matters. Pete has questionable character/integrity, makes stupid decisions, and is a proven liar/cheater. Sad. 😔
Let’s not try TOO hard to defend him. If you can cheat and lie that many times and that consistently, you will have consequences at some point. That’s a big deal. Having the ability to lie to someone’s face is a chilling thing- and a pattern. Let’s give the opportunity to someone else.
Im a retired veteran, I will tell you that if you think this doesn't happen often, you live in a dream world. Point being people are people, it happens. Even if it doesn't end up in completing the act, there are times it gets pretty close.
Sounds like a cheater, yes, but I didn’t hear a report of him lying about it. Definitely a history of sexual misconduct and 2 divorces as a result, but I don’t see where he has lied to anyone’s face. I agree the womanizing is a character flaw, but I don’t think it disqualifies him from the position he’s nominated for. Just my opinion, and I do respect yours.
Don't care who it is...a guy that cheats on that many women is a pos
And if a woman did it
I agree! ya wanna sleep around stay single! don’t drag someone else through the mud or 💩all over them. Pete sorry NEXT !
@@davecammidge . Cheat while married? Same thing.
Nah, he is not happy and hasn't found the right one yet! Let's talk about all the women who go after the married men, why doesn't anyone call them a POS, such a double standard! They kiss their kids with those mouths 💋
@vicm6561 He cheated on a woman he is married to whom he also cheated WITH! No "victims" here.🤦♀️
THANK YOU for acknowledging this is disgusting. Maybe it doesn’t disqualify but it should be considered as to his judgement and moral compass.
This isn’t disgusting, it was wrong because he was drunk and he should learn to control his drinking. I think that is the first thing he should do. Maybe he has done that, this happened in 2017. It did not happen last night.
@ well, if this was an isolated event, I would definitely agree with you. However, the first 10 minutes of this video delineates his previous activity with his other wives. One time is a mistake, but a pattern indicates deeper issues, all of which I find disgusting.
@@proudmomma7095I agree with you that it’s disgusting and it’s important to call out when someone is such an unhealthy person. I think we need to do better than this. So many things can go wrong when someone is this unwell. Not to mention it’s setting a terrible example for our children. Behave like this and get into positions of power and respect? Ugh. No thanks.
Defense Secretary needs to make calculated decisions about strategic defense. Keeping your clothes on is the best defense.
He needs to file charges against her for false allegations. She literally “sought him out” at the party and was obviously jealous that his eye was NOT on her. Just because he’s a “player,” it doesn’t make him a rapist. She was a clearly after him and a willing participant-her accusations are disgusting.
If he wasn’t charged in
Monterey he’s innocent
When I was a young 2nd Lt. In the Army stationed in Germany back in the 1990’s, my Brigade commander was the boss, a true leader and loved by the troops. He eventually became the Chief of Staff for the Division Commander, and I was also promoted and moved into a unit that supported the Commanding General (CG). I would run into him from time to time as my platoon supported the Tactical Operations Center (TOC) directly when we deployed into the field. One day he vanished. No explanation… nothing. I found out later he was forced to retire after the CG called in the Criminal Investigation Division (CID) after suspecting someone/something was going on as his desk appeared to be rummaged through when he would come in the next morning. CID set up a camera in his office for a week and concluded the investigation when they discovered the Chief of Staff was banging his secretary on the CG’s desk, and they got it on video. He was married with 3 kids, and I remember my heart sinking upon learning the news of his career ending behavior. Leaders should be held to a higher standard, especially when lives are on the line. Nobody is perfect, nor do I expect people to be perfect. I do expect leaders to exercise good judgement. Pete’s behavior demonstrates he is deficient in this area, and that is concerning and, in my option, a disqualifying aspect for the job he is being nominated for. Same thing with General Patreus. He tried to hide his affair and got caught. We need to trust our leaders, especially military leaders, to be able to control their urges to conduct themselves with integrity and honesty. Even the appearance of unethical behavior is a problem. If he is willing to violate his vow (Oath) to his spouse(S), how can we expect him to honor his oath of office and not be corrupted?
I think this is a bit harsh, he is going to do a military job, it's got bugger all to do with fannys& willys
How about General Eisenhower?
It was seven years ago at least so he may have changed and grown up more since then. It sounds like she is full of shit. And he was between marriages according to megan
@@tammymiller4789 at the time of this event, he had a two month old baby with the woman he had been cheating with. It’s just too much!

"Trying not to go R rated on you". Gosh I love Megyn!! Gday from Oz. Also love the way Megyn can follow time lines and the fine details. She's awesome!
Excellent deep dive, thank you!
These cheating woman always criticize the guy they are gonna cheat with to throw the poor trusting husband off the trail.
Third wife..my god..
That was exactly my thought. As a woman, if I was going to cheat, that’s exactly what I’d do.
Sounds like she had her eye on him all night.
Bingo 🎉
Exactly what I thought when I heard what she said when texting the husband about Pete. She knew what she wanted and she got it. She’s sick.
They argued by the pool about his hitting on a different woman because the " handler" was jealous. She had designs on him and was pissed.
Plus, Hegseth is, definitely, an ahole.
This guy sounds like a security risk. Sexual self control is clearly weak, making him a blackmail risk. Trump should move on and do a better job of vetting his nominees.
💯 Trump does not need this liability around him, Time for him to go
As much as I thought PH could be a great leader, Megyn’s analysis just changed my opinion. It’s common and almost expected for business leaders, but very risky for military commanders.
Ridiculous, he had a booty call 7 years ago. Eisenhower had a concubine during the whole of ww2, this all bullshit
Sorry, but he obviously has an integrity problem. One time,is a slip. 3 times(that we know of), I don’t think so. Yeah, most men cheat, but this guy has made a hobby of it. I feel sorry for his kids.
His real honest relationship is with the military and his men. There are men who have interpersonal relationship problems. Ask how he has done his job in the past and what he knows.
Megyn you are the best and real journalist that what we need in this world 😅thank you Megyn.
I believe she has exceptional skills and insights; it would be fantastic to see her consider a role as vice president one day. Her ability to accurately assess situations is truly impressive.
Hegseth needs to quit drinking and keep his pants on 😂
Pete wasn't nominated to be Secretary of morality or marriage.
Correct 💯💯
True BUT he would likely be vulnerable to seduction and blackmail. That makes him a security risk.
@@123lodge8My thoughts exactly.
@@123lodge8great point !!
😂😂thank God!
I was supportive of his nomination. BUT, after learning this. I believe he would be a security risk. He apparently has no control over his urges. That makes him and security risk.
i agree.
I feel certain the deep state will throw sexual opportunities his way early on and use them against him. He doesn’t show a lot of restraint in this area, and that vulnerability concerns me.
Oh stop
The infidelity to existing relationships concerns me more than him being a horndog. How many corrupt leaders skim off the top thinking it is fine as long as no one gets directly hurt? And this is the person to clean up the DoD?
Damn it, Pete! Best case-scenario, which I believe to be the case, is you’re a serial philanderer and, more likely than not, either an alcoholic or binge drinker (or both) in need. Prior to this knowledge, having watched you on Fox over the years, and especially after seeing you on Sean Ryan’s podcast, I couldn’t think of a better man to enact Trump’s mandate in the armed services. I’m disappointed to say I’ve changed my mind, as service members need a better role model in their leader. Get right and make a comeback, brother!!
I feel the same way.
I also feel that even though this is horrid moral behaviour, we should put it in the context of having been 8 years ago. By all accounts (people like Will Cain wanting him to be one of their pallbearers) and his recommitment to his faith, this could be a story of redemption if he is allowed to make the change at the DOD that is necessary.
Very well said kparks1212.
Sure sure now everyone wants redemption!
Did y’all forget who the hell we just elected?
Megyn!!!! Your reports are so spot on!! Mahalo❤
As Megyn read the police report all I could hear was: “blank was getting blanked”.
This happened in 2017. Has Pete changed? Because if he hasn’t, he is going to be venerable to blackmail. He won’t be able to do the job if he is compromised.
There is plenty of time til confirmation, so we’ll see if any other women crawl out of the woodwork to report an affair. My guess he meant that post “grateful” & he was scared straight by this incident
@@KforFreedomthe Dems will pay someone to come forward. Worked like a charm on Kavanaugh.

How awful for him to be publicly exposed as such a dreadful human being. He NEVER should have allowed his name to be put forward.

100% agree. Bad judgement is bad judgement and it crosses from one area of life to others. Next please.
Judge much, "let he who is without sin cast the first stone". What does his sex life, personal no less, have anything to do with how he will run the DOD. Our veterans have been thrown in the garbage and mistreated after defending you and our country. Pete will change this for those men and women! Hang in there Pete you got this ❤
The fact that adultery is a punishable offense under the Uniform Code of Military Justice combined with the fact that Pete has acknowledged committing adultery no less than 3 times suggests he is not fit to be Secretary of Defense which is unfortunate.
I understand that to be true and definitely don't respect anyone who can't be faithful to their spouse
yeah but that doesn't apply to appointees
This depends whether he was in the military at the time!! Also, we have general wearing lipstick and going for trans bull so which is worse??
You are spot on, Megyn! I'm so sick of these women crying rape because they can't admit to an affair. It's an insult to women who are truly assaulted. I do not believe that for one second she was raped.
I question whether or not he can be trusted in office if he can't morally be trusted.
Geeezzzz my head is spinning. Thanks for doing the work Megyn.
He’s done, what a waste.
I don’t trust him. I was all for him, but knowing chronic cheaters, yeah this isn’t going to help us. He has a problem. Is he going to compromise us because he can’t control himself?
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone...who said this and what was the circumstances regarding that statement....
Geez. This is terrible. There should be consequences for women who lie like this. Trying to get men in trouble to ease their guilt for bad behavior. 😮
Sorry - His judgement and character make him an easy target foreign adversaries
7 years ago. 2017. Has your judgment changed? Moral compassion? Mine has, I'm human .
No, it's the way Congress acts towards sexual behavior that creates the problem. If they said, it's none of our business, we don't care, then it can't be used for blackmail. Any person would just admit what they did and move on.
Okay, so the rape accusation is most likely bogus. End of that story. But, Pete has a history of not controlling his libido. Doesn't this raise concerns about his potentially being drawn into compromising situations when he is in a major position involving national security? I saw videos about this 50 years ago when I went through Army security training.
Huge concern he is UNFIT for any high position tHat could POSE a SECURITY RISK.
Don't believe the rape accusation but he is lacking self control,should be disqualifying
Can you control yourself?
@Lyndadeve1376-_xyz
The poster isn't vying for a top level position in government. The lack of discretion and loyalty that the average Joe might exhibit may hurt a few. The same from a commander with the responsibility of a nation could be devastating.
I've always liked Pete but I certainly don't respect him after all this has come to light.

Unqualified. Next.
LEO 34 years wish Megyn was prosecutor on all my cases, and I would not need to train her ever on interview interrogation skills. She is the best, and I learn from her all the time.
It’s not a good look for this guy. Not sure he should be nominated for such an important position.
All of this should have been vetted by the nomination committee!!! Do a better job.
I think Donald likes to surround himself with people who have similar track records as him when it comes to women.
If he wasn’t charge it doesn’t need to be brought up. Sounds like a woman who wanted him because she was jealous of him and the other women. I don’t believe her she should get charged
Sorry but this is too much. Pete simply can not be put in the position of trust with a nation that needs to trust again. He's got to resign his name from Trump's list.
Bullshit 😊
She cheated,…..regrets it so “to defend herself” she said it was rape.
I've got mad respect for your critical assessment of this rather unsavory series of reports and especially your highly objective dissection of this difficult material...Bravo Megyn!!
.....I have a daughter whose drink was spiked.....she was 18.....she too was on CCTV.....this man had her by the wrist.....and even though she was walking okay she tried to pull her arm away and that is when you could absolutely tell there was something wrong.....her movements were slow motion......she awoke the next day in a house that was completely empty except for a pitbull.....her clothing folded neatly....she dressed and escaped out a window.....no memory.....went immediately to the police.....with the support of a friend.....they took the clothing and handbag as evidence.....the handbag was wiped clean of fingerprints....even hers.....she was so traumatized and afraid.....afraid she would run into these blokes (yes there were two according to rape kit DNA)....and not know who they were.....it was the worst of times.....initially we got a lovely detective but he was moved to a homicide and then we got a very young detective who made my daughter feel like a trash bag.....it has taken years & years of counseling.....I am calling BS on this woman.....she was cheating and had buyers remorse.....these date rape drugs just about wipe the memory bank and also she left two hours later which would not be possible with a date rape drug....
Totally agree I still have no memory from the night I was spiked. I was lucky I wasn't a bit of a kid and had only one drink so knew something was wrong. I'm so sorry for what your daughter went through I do agree that it wipes out all memory of what happens once it has kicked in
Your 100% spot on with everything here,
Pete Hegserh needs to keep his pants zipped up. This makes me very upset.
Agree - I really admire his record and education - he is good looking for sure - but I find his lack of morality very upsetting - I concur with the others he is not applying for the morality police, but I think that our leaders should exhibit a better moral compass - I am disappointed in this history. The confirmation panel will ultimately decide. Thank you for fair and honest reporting Megyn. We will see.
@@Crinkle.Stilt.Skin. I too feel exactly the same. About Megyn's fair reporting too.

He needs to stop getting married.
He clearly can't control his alcohol or his penis, After hearing all of this I'm not sure he should be given the position of SD. I admire his service and education but this is a really big position in the government. I feel like he is a potential future scandal. I also believe that the woman wasn't raped
It sounds like the one who was raped here may have been Hegseth. An intoxicated person cannot consent. If the roles were reversed and the female was the intoxicated party people would be all over this fact. His gross repationship behaviors notwithstanding.
Yes! Why can’t this be talked about more often?? Believe all women and only women who are drunk can’t consent?
Based on his history, I doubt he felt violated. This guy has no problem with this type of behavior.
@@ronaldstark8342It’s not about that. It’s about being consistent. If women can’t consent while drunk then neither can men. Period.

Pete should sue Jane Doe for defamation of character.
Why did said woman lie about where she’d been, if she didn’t remember the encounter until afterwards???🤔🤔
Thanks for shinning a light on this. After hearing all the allegations and situations that Pete got himself into, i think that he needs to remove himself from the nomination. He gas a pattern of getting himself in bad judgments and he may get himself in trouble again while in his capacity as a defense secretary. This is an important position, and we need someone that has better judgment.
Sad. I was all about him but even with no rape, he also has no character. I believe he didnt rape her, but I wouldnt respect him as a leader for cheating on his children and wife. sorry dude.
🎯agree
You also need to keep in mind that he was not married when this happened (they got married in 2019) and this incident happened 7 years ago. Can people change their lives during a 7 year period?
@@jenn04ifer14Being accused of rape could probably do that to a man. I’m not one, but I can assume.
@BlueDauntless my thoughts exactly!!
His wife was cheating partner
After listening to your report,i will not want to have Peter IN TRUM cabinet at all
This is the most analytical breakdown of a hookup on the news.
I am a Trump supporter. Whether the woman is telling the truth, Pete sounds like a narcissist. It is better that he withdraws from this huge job and responsibility.
I don’t think being a narcissist prevents him from doing a good job.
Since Pete has a problem with his “randy,” why in the world would he have a female handler? We, the American people do not need this kind of drama with President Trump’s second term. I would not hesitate with his track record to vote no. We must return to some moral character with the nominee and that individual’s ability to stay focused on their job. Pete obviously gets side track quite easily. He is a huge disappointment. Gatze did the right thing, he stepped down.
We deserve better!
Happens way more than you realize, women go after men in high powered positions, mind you I’m a woman saying this . Sounds like she was the aggressor, he’s just stupid to put himself in this kind of situation. Really don’t think this situation should discredit his ability to fulfill his duties.🤷♀️
I do not believe it was rape….
But you voted for Trump?
@@jeaniefoust6502it goes back to the alcohol being the first mistake that put him in a state of compromised judgment /inhibition, that was taken advantage of. It was 10 years ago, so the question is has he matured and gotten past the drinking, or is that still a problem?
My goodness. He's not being nominated for boyfriend or husband of the year. Did his fellow soldiers trust his judgement when it really matters? Obviously. That to me is what is most important.
I agree that that’s MOST important, but there ARE military veterans of integrity. There are veterans who would be trustworthy in their personal lives AND their work lives!
Look wider, President Trump!
We have other options. We can do better and we don’t need to get started this way.
@@debraschwicht9741I agree.

Of course military skills and know-how are important, but if you want to lead the most powerful army in the world, good values and a moral compass are crucial.
Pete should withdraw his nomination. I believe there are likely more “Jane Doe’s” out there looking for their 15 minutes…
Yep, or there will be soon, either way he needs to go. Trump does not need this kind of liability in his office...
That is a serious concern.
Lack of accountability on both sides. And why do some people continue to marry others that have a proven track record of infidelity?
Thank you, for giving the whole true story.
Oh my, didn't know that Pete is such an sleeze bag.
Not good. Loyalty..morality, and ethics are a problem here. Not sitting right with me. Trump HAS to know this...sooo...????
