Well, he allegedly disrupted a woman’s ability to leave his hotel room and not be raped by him

Sen. Eric Schmitt on Pete Hegseth: "Ultimately, this is a decision that President Trump made to bring in another disrupter ... he's not been charged with anything. I think that's important."

If Schmitt believes that the charges aren't true he should demand Hesgeth release the woman from her NDA so she can provide sworn testimony to the senate and let them evaluate first hand.

You would think that would end it, but we know from such long experience that it won't.

ctrltxquilting.bsky.social•181 days ago

This guy just told you he is all in on sexual assault.

mrmbb.bsky.social•181 days ago

In 2025, in the greatest country in the world, if there is no video, it didn’t happen or doesn’t exist.

Oh wait, even video or audio are not enough.

chalkwitch.bsky.social•181 days ago

I loathe this term disruptor. It's just twaddle for an arse who thinks they're clever.

furypaguy.bsky.social•181 days ago

If he didn't do anything then why the settlement and NDA??

resistancesister.bsky.social•181 days ago

I guess Senator Schmitt forgot the part where she didn't press charges because he paid her off so she wouldn't do that.

daisythedachshund.bsky.social•181 days ago

and…….he paid her off.

natsfan.bsky.social•181 days ago

Yessir, each and every innocent person pays off the accuser and has them sign a NDA, geez that’s standard behavior

bluedunmedia.bsky.social•181 days ago

So the GOP thinks we need to disrupt the most powerful military in the world? For what reason?

dukiemom.bsky.social•181 days ago

Only the best people…..

ny2vayogi.bsky.social•181 days ago

Because he bought her off. Can’t imagine the pressure she was under to agree

Someone needs to come up with a device for women and underage girls to use on rapists, also a device to protect men and little boys from rape,,I suggest public castration of all rapists instead of hiring these people for office,remember majority of rapists are citizens,yet maga ignores that fact

the-hank-s.bsky.social•181 days ago

Disgusting.

januarygarnet08.bsky.social•181 days ago

There are a lot of uncharged rapists out walking around.

calvinbrooksblue.bsky.social•181 days ago

Trump only appoints sexual predators like him

dhistoryman.bsky.social•181 days ago

Also please let's not forget Hegseth's passionate explicit embrace of militaristic reactionary Christian nationalism; it's all over his writings and (literally) his body. This needs to be spotlit because it represents key goals of DTJ's agents. https://www.jta.org/2024/11/14/politics/pete-hegseth-trumps-defense-secretary-nominee-has-multiple-christian-and-crusades-inspired-tattoos?utm_source=JTA_Iterable&utm_campaign=JTA_DB&utm_medium=email

bizbodeity.bsky.social•181 days ago

Talk about lowering the bar.

fightlies.bsky.social•181 days ago

At the worst, rape.

At the least, Hegseth cheated on his wife and family at the time with a married woman by his own admissions.

Zero integrity. Zero honor. Not fit to serve.

tekguy630.bsky.social•181 days ago

Eric Schmidt is an extreme Trump sycophant and azz kisser. Why even bother having him on? We know he won't answer questions and lie when he does.

mattandtrey.bsky.social•181 days ago

I read the released police report, and the witness statements, along with the victim's and accused’s accounts, do not match what is being publicized in the media or on social media. However, I do not want to sound like I discredit what may have happened that night and the trauma since.

sunny1udno.bsky.social•181 days ago

Do you believe that an alleged rapist is going to be honest in his account of the events knowing that he would be charged with a crime?

mattandtrey.bsky.social•180 days ago

He is not qualified for a cabinet position, and he should not be confirmed. He is a self-proclaimed nationalist and grosses me out.

mattandtrey.bsky.social•180 days ago

Tricky question. If he is accused of sexual assault and multiple witnesses were accompanying her, not him, hotel staff, and sureviencellence video supports his recollection of the event while hers changes…I find it challenging to indict, which they didn't. I recommend reading the actual report.

slindquist.bsky.social•181 days ago

Someone should suggest that Hegseth should release the woman from the NDA she signed, after he paid her off.

artsvandelay.bsky.social•181 days ago

I find it weird people still say "disrupt" positively ... social media execs loved to talk about "disruption" and now everyone agrees it made everything worse!

markabuchanan.bsky.social•180 days ago

He is also "unqualified," which I think is important, too.

snowmein.bsky.social•181 days ago

Consistent with the your body, my choice ethic.

crisscrossdude.bsky.social•181 days ago

This mentality that this single act defines him, not his propensity to start holy wars is both disgusting and disappointing

libertealover.bsky.social•181 days ago

Hegseth apparently thought Bill Cosby's MO of raping women was a good plan. Wasn't he aware of how that turned out?

wagsterphd.bsky.social•181 days ago

It should also be noted that two months before the incident, he had a baby out of wedlock with a Fox News producer who would later be his wife but caused his divorce with his second of two wives whom he cheated on. Character from our leaders should matter.

debbie-nosnibor.bsky.social•181 days ago

Yet another republican projecting. They never denounce the behavior that mirrors their own. I don’t feel sorry for Missouri because they voted for this clown to represent them in the U.S. Senate.

littlejimmy115.bsky.social•181 days ago

Well, that’s the height of the bar now.

expat123.bsky.social•181 days ago

Is there a blue dress?

catmamaknits.bsky.social•181 days ago

Extremely disappointing interview by Kristin Welker, letting him rail on about poor Trump and his unfair legal woes

akashaom.bsky.social•181 days ago

He should take a moment and read the police report. It’s disgusting and disturbing.

happymiser.bsky.social•181 days ago

Well, I hope all of the women who voted for Trump are happy that they have reinvigorated the, your body my choice rape culture, all the way down to the grade school level. It’s just sickening and unforgivable no matter how nonsensically you try and rationalize it.
