Fox’s Leslie Marshall on Hegseth’s Police Report on Rape: ‘As a Woman, as a Victim, I Believe the Victims’

EXCERPT:

MARSHALL: “I met Pete a long time ago. We spent middle of the night waiting to go on during 2016 before the election, and I like him as a person. With all due respect to my former colleague, we know that there were three cases of adultery for Pete Hegseth, and it is relevant, and the reason why it’s relevant is Article 134 of the UCMJ considers adultery against the military, which the Department of Defense is part of. You can’t lead an entire organization and all these people if you can’t lead by example, one. Two, I am a rape victim and I can tell you there’s a reason 1 in 10 rapes go unreported, and it’s very difficult for a woman to go in and have a rape kit done. It’s physically, mentally, and emotionally very difficult to go through that process, as I have. And I can tell you that just very personal, in my deep core, somebody doesn’t do that with their husband and their kids in the hotel, texting their husband. Somebody doesn’t go into the hospital and subject herself to that. And I have to say, I, as a woman and as a victim, I believe the victims, and this is a problem for me, the sexual impropriety.”
