"...took her phone, blocked hotel room door when she tried to leave, sexually assaulted her, ejaculating on her stomach"

Kyle Griffin
‪@kylegriffin1.bsky.social‬
NBC News has now obtained the 2017 Pete Hegseth police report.

The woman said Hegseth took her phone, blocked his hotel room door when she tried to leave, and sexually assaulted her, ejaculating on her stomach.

Hegseth denies the allegations.

If true, it would mean he traveled to the conference with roofies available. Who has roofies? Repeat users of roofies, essentially. More will come out, I suspect.

Would result in the accused being immediately fired from their job and a police investigation that resulted in charges, preliminary hearings and jail until trial. Such quaint times. Pepperidge Farms remembers..,

but I never ever had such difficulties meeting eligible and willing ladies to have relationships and/or consensual sex. I never had to coerce, ply with alcohol, drug, or pay anyone and believe me I ran into a few roadblocks over the years which I of course, always respected. No meant no even in 1969 to most of us. But by and large, things worked out when you were appropriate and sincere.

These guys are such fucking losers it boggles my mind. And from what I hear, they’re fairly stupid, for all the porno they consume, you would think that they’d know how to fuck.

Sorry, but it makes me angry.

I believe that about "mommy issues" they have some deep mental issues there. How many hated their mothers or who were totally abandoned by them. So they all want to project their sickness on women. Just gets me sick.

Actually an assault that lasted for several years in her previous marriage. She didn't even date for 5 years after that. She barely escaped from it with her life. We became absolute best friends. She's my wife of 20 years now, best thing that ever happened to me

"degenerate behaviour" of other male counterparts who put down women for whatever reason.
Will those decent men come forward and tell these degenerates to fuck off. To put it plainly.

Because as of January 20th, women and even young girls will be in cross hairs again to all kinds of hate and sexual innuendo. That means all female counterparts.

Hegseth has said he doesn't want women serving in combat, and wants to purge the military of "woke" officials.
