Summary
Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump’s pick for secretary of defense, was reportedly forced out of leadership roles at two veteran-focused non-profits, Concerned Veterans for America and Vets for Freedom, due to allegations of financial mismanagement, drunkenness, and fostering a hostile work environment.
Whistleblower reports detailed incidents including misuse of funds and inappropriate behavior at events.
Hegseth also faced past sexual assault allegations, which he settled privately in 2023.
Critics, including Senator Richard Blumenthal, have raised concerns about Hegseth’s suitability.
He probably did.
But we also know that he’s been caught cheating at least five times, so it’s kind of crazy to just go along without verifying it first.
It’s not just the swing states he won. He also did much, much better in places like the Bronx, specifically AOC’s district.
The results of other places make it extremely unlikely that there was relevant cheating.
I was on board for the bullet ballot guy for about five minutes until I checked his numbers and found they were bullshit.
