His mom doing interview today was helpful because nowhere was it reported that she apologized for the inital email two hours later. She was upset he was getting divorced and has said that years later he is happy and in a great marriage. Somehow that was not included in any of these articles out there. Not that his marriage is anyone’s business. Low blow for anyone to leak initial email fyi. Senators should not allow smears to affect their thinking of him as a candidate. Hegseth will be a Sec of Defense who puts our soldiers first and cares about their well being. He also is not a fan of endless wars. This is a good thing.


You’re ridiculous but here’s the thing about military leadership. Optics matter. Live your live in such a way that no one can even make these accusations.


Exactly. It’s funny how many millions of men (white men!) don’t have a single “false” accusation against them. Haven’t been “maligned” by people out to get them.


You actually have no idea about this. But it does seem that handsome men in public positions often have “allegations” come out as they start to gain power/popularity or especially if they are taking a political position. Coincidence?


Oh look, the mansplainer arrived. The coincidence lies in the fact these men believe they are owed everything and act accordingly.

His mommy is calling Senators for him?

Will she also get on the phone with foreign military leaders when there's a crisis?

Ugly man fantasies.

Believe it or not, lots of attractive people get through life without accusations and NDAs.

I thought his mom’s opinion of him was important? Or that is only if you believe the email?

All these alpha males (him and Elon) hiding behind mommy's skirts. Pathetic.

How did an email from his mom leak to the press? Did mom CC or BCC the ex wife? Or did she send it to his Fox corporate email?

I caught that too.

Folks want to make his mom’s views of him part of the story, then complain that she’s now part of the story.

She CC’d it to the second wife at the time she sent it. The second wife is the one who gave the email to NYT

Yes, his mom forwarded it to the ex right after she sent it to Pete.

The guy was fired from two non-profits serving vets. Why is he still being discussed?

Then wrote another one saying she did it in haste and regretted it, but alas, here we are. At the end of the day why would he put himself out there like this when he knew it would be red meat. It's baffling, this has probably ruined his career and he had a good gig at Fox. Then again, if Toobin could get back on the air...

The second wife was the AP when he was married to the first wife. I guess she became salty when Hegseth traded her in for the AP who became the third wife.

And apparently never forgave him, and never forgot, for trashing her during the custody hearings.
