Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump's pick for defense secretary, was back on Capitol Hill Tuesday looking to shore up support as he fends off new allegations of misconduct and sexual impropriety.
The allegations were top of mind for Republican senators, one of whom called recent reports "very disturbing." Several GOP lawmakers suggested Hegseth needed to come forward and address them.
But Hegseth, holding hands with his wife as he walked the halls, continued to ignore questions about the New Yorker report that he was forced to step down from two veteran nonprofit groups -- Veterans for Freedom and Concerned Veterans for America -- amid accusations of financial mismanagement, sexist behavior and other disqualifying behavior.
The magazine cited what it called a detailed seven-page whistleblower report -- compiled by multiple former C.V.A. employees -- stating that, at one point, Hegseth had to be restrained while drunk from joining the dancers on the stage of a Louisiana strip club, where he had brought his team. The report also says that Hegseth, who was married at the time, and other members of his management team sexually pursued the organization’s female staffers, the magazine said.
ABC News has not independently confirmed the magazine's account. Hegseth's attorney, Tim Parlatore, told The New Yorker the claims were "outlandish."

Well,Trump is *still* a Nazi so every one of his nominees must be as well.
The following is the text of the email that Penelope Hegseth sent to her son, Pete Hegseth, on April 30, 2018. One sentence was redacted by The New York Times for privacy reasons.
Son,
I have tried to keep quiet about your character and behavior, but after listening to the way you made Samantha feel today, I cannot stay silent. And as a woman and your mother I feel I must speak out..
You are an abuser of women — that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth.
I am not a saint, far from it.. so don’t throw that in my face,. but your abuse over the years to women (dishonesty, sleeping around, betrayal, debasing, belittling) needs to be called out.
Sam is a good mother and a good person (under the circumstances that you created) and I know deep down you know that. For you to try to label her as “unstable” for your own advantage is despicable and abusive. Is there any sense of decency left in you? She did not ask for or deserve any of what has come to her by your hand. Neither did Meredith.
I know you think this is one big competition and that we have taken her side… bunk… we are on the side of good and that is not you. (Go ahead and call me self-righteous, I dont’ care)
Don’t you dare run to her and cry foul that we shared with us… that’s what babies do. It’s time for someone (I wish it was a strong man) to stand up to your abusive behavior and call it out, especially against women
We still love you, but we are broken by your behavior and lack of character. I don’t want to write emails like this and never thought I would. If it damages our relationship further, then so be it, but at least I have said my piece. [Redacted]
And yes, we are praying for you (and you don’t deserve to know how we are praying, so skip the snarky reply)
I don’t want an answer to this… I don’t want to debate with you. You twist and abuse everything I say anyway. But… On behalf of all the women (and I know it’s many) you have abused in some way, I say… get some help and take an honest look at yourself…
Mom

what are the concerns? he went to a strip club with his guys?
Lindsey Graham is “ concerned “, because Pete Hegseth opposes foreign proxy wars.
Oh, BS.
The senators are either being bribed or blackmailed.
Get a list and make sure every one loses the next election.
Make sure their money dries up.
Elon needs to target Linda as the first to go
Sounds like a lot of caterwauling by wanna be saints. Let him without sin cast the first stone.
So Penelope Hegseth sends an email to her son, and it ends up in the hands of The NY Times. I find that to be, shall we say, odd.
I also find the email to be a bit too shrill. It’s not the language that a normal, loving mom would use to correct a wayward son.
Couldn’t care less about Hegseth having a little fun. I was a little wild for a while when I got back from a war. And I know I’m not alone in that.
If Lindsey Graham the homo poofter succeeds in kicking out Hegseth, I am sure Lt. Col Matthew Lohmeier who was kicked out of Space Force for being anti woke and anti communist is available.
Here's his chance to be a major part of Making America's Military Great Again...
...and he chooses vanity and camera time over Country.
Good old Linda Grahamnesty.
Lindsey Graham is “ concerned “, because Pete Hegseth opposes foreign proxy wars.

Linda has done more damage to our country than any other RINO. He’s a despicable two-faced fool who should be primaried out of office asap.
Yeah, whatever. His bipolar mom has heavily apologized and said her letter was 180 backwards. She’s either a doper, a radfem, or a drunk.
She was a POS for siding with his ex wife in the middle of a divorce and looping the ex into it. No problem if she talked to him, but assisting his wife was a trash move.
And you keep bringing it up... knowing she has fully disavowed it.
You might want to look up what mom said afterword, apologizing for her email.
Maybe Marco Rubio is the only nominee confirmed by the Senate.
They’re going to cave under the media propaganda. Sad.
Hegseth was a player who laid a lot of pipe and all the crapweasels are envious.
But Biden’s transvestites with obvious mental issues are okay?
