#PeteHegseth #Trump #DefenseDept
He’s unfit to serve!
He’s just like the rest of them, especially 45. They won’t care.
FAKE NEWS !
“Exercise to malign.”
Didn’t even break a sweat! That was too easy.
She sent the email out of anger because she spoke the truth.
Anyone wonder how they got an email between him and his mother. Maybe the FBI or National intelligence agency?
According to The Times’ report, Penelope Hegseth wrote, “I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth.”
Hegseth’s alleged conduct toward women came under further scrutiny over the weekend, when The New York Times reported that his mother sent an email to her son in 2018 that sharply criticized his treatment of women.
He’s exactly what trump wants.
