Lawrence on Hegseth hearing: Trump has lowered the standards every day of his political life

 + 2,000 COMMENTS WORTH READING! 

… Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) was especially concerned about the drinking and the fact that Hegseth wasn’t being honest about it. He said he was even more concerned by his lack of candor about it than he was about the drinking itself.

… Hegseth denied committing a sexual assault against the woman who sued him where he settled the lawsuit, paid her money, and secured an NDA. He refused to say whether he would release her from her NDA. When asked about his judgment on getting drunk and having sex with a woman at a work-related conference two months after his 3rd wife gave birth (who he impregnated during his 2nd marriage), he refused to even admit they had sex at all.

THANK YOU LAWRENCE FOR HIGHLIGHTING the MAGA SNAKE PIT! THANK YOU SENATOR TAMMY DUCKWORTH, AN AMERICAN HERO! PETE HEGSETH could not even answer her question because he's an incompetent FOOL!

SENATOR ELIZABETH WARREN has always been a CHAMPION! MAGA GOP were a DISGRACE! FBI REPORT IS A SHAM! GENUFLECTING TO TRUMP! BETRAYING AMERICANS YET AGAIN! CO-WORKERS reported HEGSETH becoming so publicly drunk that he needed to be carried out of events & slept through FLIGHTS the following day. He's supposed to be 24/7 leader? MAGA WHITEWASH that they will regret! SETTLEMENT indicates that HEGSETH can be BLACKMAILED!
