Another anonymous smear about domestic abuse came out today.
Talks about drunkenness and physically abusing his then wife.
It was anonymously signed by his sister in law with her real name...
It is in the hands of senators now.
We'll see if we get a drunk and woman abuser for defsec soon.
Progs, progs, progs. You wonder why everyone regards you as the scumbag liars? You forgot, Bamboo, to mention that the ex-wife in question denied that. I couldn't find anything about he saying anything about drunkeness either. You are a double liar.
LoL!
Touched a nerve, huh?
Close to home or ??
Anyway, gotta give you kudos for being a great TrumPatsy!
Well done.
a quick google brought up a bunch of hits that reference the affidavit talking about alcohol abuse and fear of violence.
Senators vetting the nomination of Pete Hegseth for defense secretary received an affidavit Tuesday from a former sister-in-law alleging that the onetime Fox News host was abusive to his second wife, to the point where she feared for her safety.
Samantha Hegseth, Pete Hegseth's second and now ex-wife, had told her that she once hid in the closet from Hegseth for fear of her safety, an incident she said occurred between the years of 2014 and 2016. She noted the anecdote was consistent with what she observed of Hegseth's behavior over a number of years.
Hegseth's former sister-in-law also alleged that his ex-wife had a plan that she would use if she needed to get away from her husband. The plan involved Samantha Hegseth texting a safe word to Danielle Hegseth, who would then call a friend who could help her. Danielle Hegseth wrote that she received a text with the safe word and called the friend once between 2015 and 2016. Pete and Samantha Hegseth were married from 2010 to 2018.
Danielle Hegseth also claimed that he had drunkenly yelled at her and had to be pulled away during a 2009 incident, and that she personally witnessed Hegseth abusing alcohol on multiple occasions. She said Hegseth would drink to the point of passing out at family events, described one evening where she said he was dragged out of a bar, and another where she said he passed out in a bar bathroom, among other incidents.
From another report:
Among the allegations she made:
- Hegseth's second wife sought refuge in a closet after Hegseth threatened her.
- She was so concerned about her safety that she shared a code word with her sister-in-law to alert her when Hegseth threatened her. She texted the code word to the sister-in-law in 2015 or 2016.
- The complainant witnessed Hegseth drunk on several occasions, including one Christmas when he vomited and passed out. In another instance, at a bar in 2013 in Minneapolis, Hegseth danced with drinks in both hands, broke glasses and was dragged out. On the walk home he made comments that implied he condoned non-consensual sex.
- On another occasion in 2009, Hegseth was found drunk at a strip club in downtown Minneapolis in his military uniform, drunk and getting lap dances. He had to be dragged out of the club.
- He disparaged Hispanic people and said Christian people needed to have more babies than Muslims to avoid being overtaken.
Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., and the ranking member of the Armed Services Committee said the allegations about Hegseth demand a deeper dive into his background.
"As I have said for months, the reports of Mr. Hegseth's history of alleged sexual assault, alcohol abuse, and public misconduct necessitate an exhaustive background investigation," Reed said in a statement. "I have been concerned that the background check process has been inadequate, and this sworn affidavit confirms that fact."
Affidavit attesting to abusive relationship - check
Safe word due to fear for personal safety - Check
Hiding in closet due to fear of safety - check
Numerous cases of drinking to excess - check
Yep, didn't lie.
Quit being a lazy bastard and google shit for yourself.
oh, and keep up the good work shilling for your Orange Jesus.
You are going to have a long 4 years.
