Pete Hegseth Hit With A New Set Of Damning Allegations [View all]

This morning, a new whistleblower obtained by the New Yorker has come out with a new set of allegations that may be enough to sink Pete Hegseth's nomination as Secretary of Defense. According to the New Yorker, Hegseth was forced to step down from serving as the head of two veterans nonprofit organizations over allegations that he engaged in financial and sexual improprieties.

Between 2013 and 2016, Hegseth was the President of Concerned Veterans for America, a nonprofit group focused on promoting veterans rights in our nation. According to the whistle blower report, Hegseth was repeatedly intoxicated while in his official capacity as president of the charity. It got so bad that he was forced to be carried out of the organization's events because he was unable to walk.

While drunk, Hegseth further had to be restrained by individuals at a strip club as he attempted to join dancers on stage. In addition, the whistleblower report notes that Hegseth and other members of the nonprofit team pursued female staffers in the organization, dividing them into two groups: the "party girls" and the "not party girls."
