Kinzinger: Hearings Are Going to Be Brutal for Pete Hegseth

EXCERPT:

KINZINGER: “Yeah, I mean, I think it’s going to be, like, way more intense because if you think about it again, yes, Hegseth was not charged with that. He also wasn’t exonerated, as you mentioned. But the military has had an issue with sexual assault that they’ve been trying to address for a number of years. And now you’re putting a guy that’s potentially guilty of that in charge of the Pentagon. And so, I think that the hearings are going to be pretty brutal for him and, you know, we’ll see what comes out of that. Keep in mind, if there was any other potential victims of Hegseth, I’m not saying there are, but if there were, they may come out in the next couple of months. And so, this could get pretty interesting. Again, and it should be looked at very hard because again, this is the military we are talking about, not some small government bureaucracy, but probably the most important function of the federal government and certainly the most lethal.”
