Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) hilariously combated leftist smears on Hegseth, asking his fellow Senators, “How many senators have shown up drunk to vote at night?” He continued, “How many senators do you know have gotten a divorce for cheating on their wives? Did you ask them to step down?”
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Hegseth faced questions this morning before the US Senate Armed Services Committee, battling nasty questioning from Democrats on allegations of misconduct involving alcohol, cheating, and sexual assault.

Mullin: ..."How many senators have shown up drunk to vote at night? Have any of you guys asked them to step down and resign from their job? And don't tell me you haven't seen it, because I know you have. And then how many senators do you know have gotten a divorce for cheating on their wives? Did you ask them to step down? No. But it's for show. You guys make sure you make a big show and point out the hypocrisy because a man's made a mistake, and you want to sit there and say that he's not qualified. Give me a joke. It is so ridiculous that you guys hold yourself as this higher standard, and you forget you got a big plank in your eye."...

A little bit of Harper Valley PTA treatment is sometimes needed.
yeah, that was good
That’s good.
Call them out and make them own their own depravity
I loved it!
“He continued, “How many senators do you know have gotten a divorce for cheating on their wives? Did you ask them to step down?””
Somebody needs to leak the participants in that ‘secret hush fund’ for Congress. I’m betting that 90% (or more) are Democrats.
Best part is that it is on the record.
"Well, this is just a little Peyton Place and you're all Harper Valley hypocrites!"
Unfortunately, even she doesn’t speak up in a timely manner as a matter of principle. To all of them, it’s just a means to score political points. Those who silently accept these behaviors until the become politically useful are as complicit as the bad actors.
Most of these Senators and congress critters have SO many skeletons in their closet they would need their own cemetery. How many of them have broads on the side they have knocked up and are paying for their kids, or have drug problems, or have gay lovers, come on its ENDLESS..and its funny seeing Elizabeth Warren squawk when she herself LIED about her heritage in order to get herself filthy RICH
Ever notice how Progressives love to talk about sexual assault?
Nice..... good job.
At least both Republicans and Democrats can agree that family values such as fidelity, et , and sobriety really will never be issues again for nominations. Rightly or wrongly those things really will not factor again into fitness for the position.
His comments in this hearing were INCREDIBLE! I listened twice.
Charlie Kirk has a clip posted to his Truth Social. I can’t seem to get the link up.
Funny, I just heard that song the other day.
That was impressive. Haven’t been his biggest fan, but that was good.
He done good. It was good to watch the clown squirm.
LOL...exactly
BAM!
And Chester the Molester Kaine pulls Hegseth’s daughter into it.
