In an interview, Hegseth's mother disavowed the email, saying that she had apologized to her son for it and insisting that he is "a good father, husband."

That email vouching for how he mistreats women likely got him a job on Trump's cabinet.
Personally, I'm done tolerating these people in polite company.

Just like I tell my kids. No takie backies on this one, buddy.
But he’s unqualified to be DefSec even without all of this questionable personal history.
Hope we move past this absurdity soon.
Why would anyone apologize to a sexual assaulter & misogynist? You do not have a women sign an NDA if you are innocent of behaviors for which you have been criminally accused.
There is nothing my children could say to have me write such a thing, unless it were the truth.
Unfortunately, for many, they won't care....we live in a world where character doesn't seem to matter too much.
But he's still a monster.
Hegseth wants to rip women from their cockpits in Aircraft. Strong women frighten Pete. Must have been some perverted Oedipus malfunction in his life.
