I’ve known many other defense secretaries, starting with Cap Weinberger, who served as defense secretary under Reagan. I can say without fear of contradiction that Pete Hegseth is the stupidest and least qualified of them all. He is a danger to the entire world. He must be impeached.

The system is the problem. It turns complaining victims into suspects (of perjury) and averts its investigative powers from young men who have engaged in (at a minimum) sexual practices that could not have been consensual.
