Senator Tim Kaine used his time during Pete Hegseth's confirmation hearing to question the nominee about assault allegations.
The senator went after the former Fox News anchor for cheating on both his wife and a woman who gave birth two months prior.
Pete Hegseth came under heated questioning from Sen. Tim Kaine (D., Va.) over infidelity, his behavior in his previous marriages, his drinking and whether he disclosed a 2017 sexual-assault allegation to President-elect Donald Trump’s team when he was being vetted to lead the Pentagon.
SecDef nominee Pete Hegseth and Dem. Sen. Tim Kaine engaged in a tense back and forth about Hegseth's marital history and Hegseth's young daughter was mentioned.
Pete Hegseth refused to admit that sexual assault or domestic violence should disqualify a candidate for defense secretary while Sen. Tim Kaine hammered him over his infidelity during his confirmation hearing.
Hegseth was cool in the face of this unhinged questioning. They made him look good today,” said Scott Jennings on CNN.
