OK, done. Sex without consent equals rape. Say that ten times.

There is no evidence this was sex without consent

or with it

That's not how things work to make someone guilty

Two people testify and you decide which is more credible. Testimony is evidence.

That's Matt Walsh -- not exactly someone who reflects the attitudes of the average Republican Senator. And ultimately it doesn't even matter what they think if public sentiment turns on Hegseth. One think no one even talks about yet is what Hegseth would be like in confirmation hearings. This dude is smarmy and not that bright and it shows. He struggles with whatever passes for witty banter on Fox & Friends, he's not going to handle being questioned by dozens of senators over multiple hours on national television well. Even if they can get to hearings without public sentiment going way south, that footage is going to be brutal.

+1 Jonathan Chait with The Atlantic has read all of his books (three in the last few years) and there’s tons of disqualifying stuff in there. That public education is a communist plot, that vaccines are poison, and that socialists were responsible for the Holocaust, among others.

"The main question I was looking to answer when I started reading Hegseth’s collected works was whether he would follow a Trump command to shoot peaceful protesters. After having read them, I don’t think he would even wait for the order."

Hegseth “considers himself to be at war with basically everybody to Trump’s left, and it is by no means clear that he means war metaphorically.”

He calls for the “categorical defeat of the Left” and says that without its “utter annihilation,” “America cannot, and will not, survive.”

And again, these views and his disgusting behavior in his personal life are second and third to the fact that he’s never run an organization with more than a couple dozen people and to put him in charge of the largest bureaucracy in the world is insane.

He is unfit for a number of reasons. Thee are millions of men who have never been accused of sex crimes. Hire one of those. Why is that too much to ask????

In this case, it was a married with kids woman boozing and partying in a hotel with a model-esque womanizer Fox News host until 2am, with her husband and kids in another room, and then she walked back arm in arm into the Fox guy's room for a two hour romp. Then four or five days later she cries assault. Give me a break. I would bet anything it wasn't her first time cheating and the suspicious husband wouldn't let it go.

In this case, it was a married with kids woman staffer for the local Republican party, there with her husband and kids, working a party event and got stuck with the job of babysitting one of the speakers (get him to his room at night and get him up and to his plane in the morning) because they were told that he was going to get drunk, hit on people, and sleep in). Like a good hostess/any woman who has been socialized to deal with drunk men she got him away from the women he was hitting on at the bar and walked back arm in arm into his room and agreed to have a drink (hoping he would pass out at that point) where he--with drugs he had brought with him--roofied and assaulted her while her husband spent the night freaking out and looking for her. After four or five days of back and forth with her spouse about whether or not its worth going to the police--she can't remember anything, there's no physical evidence, she doesn't want to be in this situation with a famous person, the Republican Party people are never going to let her do anything again--she goes to the police and reports the assault. They also decide that given the lack of evidence, there's not much they can go. A couple of years later, following the Bill O'Reilly and Roger Ailes settlements, she and her husband decided to sue.

Roofied. Doesn't remember anything. She was his "babysitter". So of course that meant she had to walk back to and into his room while arm and arm. Give me a break. Nobody is buying this malarkey. The far more plausible story is she got buzzed and cheated on her husband with a hot sleazebag. The end.
