Shortened title.

Full title: Air Force General says 'nothing happened, ever' as army colonel claims he sexually assaulted her multiple times and lied under oath at dramatic Joint Chiefs vice chair confirmation hearing

The Air Force general picked by President Donald Trump to become the second-highest ranking U.S. military officer on Tuesday vehemently denied sexual assault allegations against him at his confirmation hearing, and received a strong endorsement from a senator who said she was raped while serving in the military.

His accuser, Army Colonel Kathryn Spletstoser, 51, watched on as General John Hyten said 'all of the allegations are completely false' while his wife Laura and daughter Katie watched on at Capitol Hill, Washington DC.

Hyten, nominated to become vice chairman of the military's Joint Chiefs of Staff, said in dramatic testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee that 'nothing happened, ever' but Spletstoser stuck by her claim and accused him of assaulting her multiple times.

Her story sounds preposterous. She’s basically accusing a 50-something year old man of sitting next to her on a bed, kissing her without consent, and then spooging all over himself.

If she didn’t report it then, she has no integrity now.

An opportunist attack.

They can’t even keep their story straight in the picture captions. Most say she was in the army, one claims the USAF.

So first she doesn’t report it. Then when she is fired from her position, she threatens to kill herself. Then, finally, when that fails, she accuses the General of sexual assault. She is bat-sh*t crazy. Even Martha McSally backs the General.

After witnessing the Brett Kavanaugh Senate hearings, I would be hard pressed to believe any woman who did not present iron-clad evidence of sexual harrassment. The democrat Senators birth the false charges fiasco and have irreparably set back the the woman’s movement.

So this woman was fired from the Air Force a couple years ago. There’s no way this could be her way of getting back at the Air Force. No chance whatsoever.

Another in the growing list of mentally ill females falsely accusing men of sexual harassment or assault. Glad to see the strong pushback against these lies.

Unfortunately the meme is that the woman is always believable.

Despite lack of findings through investigation, this guy ain't gonna make it. This is not because he is guilty but because he was accused and the rinos won't stand up for him.

Team Hyten.

I do find it very strange that Mrs. Hyten wore a pretty terrible knock-off of Melania's inauguration outfit, though.

Not so sure about that. I have not heard of a single R being against him, and retired AF Pilot and Senator Martha McSally pretty much called the accuser a liar. The accuser appears to have significant, documented credibility issues and has a major motive to accuse her former boss, as he effectively ended her career. She even threatened to kill herself if he didn't "un-fire" her. We don't need D votes here.

All Trump nominees will face frivolous accusations of rape, or at least of having made an awkward pass at a girl at an unknown location on an unknown date.


I Remember It Well
Maurice Chevalier, Hermione Gingold

We met at nine, we met at eight,
I was on time, no, you were late
Ah, yes, I remember it well

We dined with friends, we dined alone,
a tenor sang, a baritone
Ah, yes, I remember it well

That dazzling April moon, there was none that night
And the month was June, that’s right, that’s right
It warms my heart to know that you remember still the way you do
Ah, yes, I remember it well

How often I’ve thought of that Friday, Monday night
When we had our last rendezvous
And somehow I foolishly wondered if you might
By some chance be thinking of it too?
