Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said he expects former Fox News host Pete Hegseth to be confirmed as President-elect Donald Trump's defense secretary unless someone comes forward to confirm anonymous allegations about alleged drinking problems and sexual assault.
"I'm in a good place with Pete, unless something I don't know about comes out," Graham told NBC's Kristen Welker on Sunday. "These allegations are disturbing, but they're anonymous."
"There's one allegation in a police report about sexual assault," he continued. "That person has the right to come forward to the committee."

"If people have an allegation to make, come forward and make it like they did in Kavanaugh, we'll we'll decide whether or not it's credible.
Hey graham why did they have a fucking NDA and why don't you call the Monterey Police Department to testify........... its in the public record..............and if your so confident what don't you call E. Jean Carrol in to discuss what transpired in New York.........you know the same guy that has been convicted of 34 counts of business fraud and has to pay the state of NY over 450 million and to pay for defamation to Carroll to the tune of 85 million...........he will make a credible witness to back up his nominee...........
Do you remember what happened in Fords testimony...........your got a investigation about Kavanaugh for 1 week.............and your basically using the same playbook from then as now today...............and then you can play god ..............and do the show and tell and still confirm..................

(10,485 posts)... they would sue her for "defamation" or some such. It was done in such a way that she still can't speak freely, so she won't.
Isn't it INTERESTING that MAGA loves anonymous sources, EXCEPT if it's a woman accusing a male of sexual assault?
They don't think "anonymous sources" are credible? Ohh YES they do! As long as it's not a WOMAN.
BOTTOM LINE: MAGAt misogynists DON'T BELIEVE WOMEN. Ever. No matter what evidence is there or what happened.
They don't believe them. They don't trust them. They don't respect them. And they damn sure don't care about them or their lives or health.
This shit is just straight up misogyny.
