WASHINGTON — Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for defense secretary, paid a woman who accused him of sexual assault to head off the threat of a baseless lawsuit, according to Hegseth’s lawyer.
Hegseth was accused of sexual assault in 2017 after a speaking appearance at a Republican women’s event in Monterey, California, according to a statement released by the city.
Pete Hegseth's Fox & Friends Weekend cohosts are very upset that former NAACP lawyer Sherrilyn Ifill called Hegseth a white supremacist on MSNBC.
As we and others have already discussed, there's a long list of reasons why Fox host Pete Hegseth is completely unqualified to serve as Defense Secretary, the accusations of sexual misconduct, his inexperience, the ties to Christian nationalism and overt racism just being a few of them.
Here are Hegseth's buddies, Will Cain, Rachel Campos-Duffy and Joey Jones coming to Hegseth's defense this Saturday, and insisting Hegseth should sue Ifill for defamation, along with MSNBC, which should come as a surprise to no one, since the race-baiting is a feature and not a bug over on Fox "news."
CAIN: The attacks are coming fast and furious and ugly and defamatory.

47's minions want to make it clear: He's not planning to build a brand new network of “camps” to house the undocumented immigrants he vowed to round up in what he claims will be “the largest deportation” operation in the “history of our country.” Think of them as spas -- or at least, airport lounges!
Here is your Sunday morning cartoon and open thread. We have survived this week of bizarro cabinet appointments. Yay.
