Hegseth's Mother Threw Him Under The Bus In 2018. Don't Expect The Same If She's Called To Testify.
Peggy Hesgeth wrote a scathing email to her son back in 2018 which was just published by The New York Times. Don't expect her to stand by any of those words if she's asked to testify during his confirmation hearing.
There was already a long list of reasons why Hegseth should never be confirmed for Defense Secretary, from allegations of sexual assault, to the likelihood he'd fail an FBI background check, to the fact that he's completely unqualified for the job, to his own coworkers throwing him under the bus on the rape allegations.
And now we've a new one to add to the list... his own mother, who accused Hegseth of "mistreating women for years."
The mother of Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald J. Trump’s pick for secretary of defense, wrote him an email in 2018 saying he had routinely mistreated women for years and displayed a lack of character.
