Two of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s key nominations – Fox News host Pete Hegseth for defense secretary and former lawmaker Matt Gaetz as attorney general – have become embroiled in sex controversies that could threaten their Senate confirmations to serve in Trump’s Cabinet.
Hegseth, 44, paid an undisclosed amount to a woman who accused him of sexual assault in 2017 to avert the threat of what he viewed as a baseless claim becoming public, his lawyer, Tim Parlatore, told U.S. news media this weekend.
Gaetz, 42, resigned abruptly last week from the House of Representatives near the end of his fourth two-year term, just days before the House Ethics Committee was nearing conclusion of an investigation into whether he had had sex with a 17-year-old girl and engaged in illicit drug use. Some lawmakers have described Gaetz showing nude cellphone pictures of his sexual conquests in the House chamber.
Oh, cmon, just let it slide so they can fuck up spectacularly and maybe decide to hang themselves.
Let’s not forget that Trump has raped at least two people per the courts, and likely has raped children
Noooo. It’s the trans and drag people that are the problem!
/s
What is it with republicans and sex? I don’t know if they’re getting too much or not enough, but something’s not right.
Only two?
RFK Jr and Trump should be in this list as well. It’s probably faster to list the ones that aren’t sexual predators.
You can add Musk to the list.
Yeah, it’s basically a requirement at this point.
So far…
The days are young, yet. Not too young for Gaetz apparently too 🤣
