Sexual abuser and financial disaster:
Hegseth reportedly accumulated over $400,000 in debt for Veterans for Freedom (VFF) during his leadership. (MAGA!)
Multiple sources reported frequent incidents of Hegseth being heavily intoxicated at official events, often requiring assistance to leave.
Hegseth allegedly categorized female staff members into "party girls" and "non-party girls," and pursued romantic encounters during work events.
Under Hegseth's leadership, serious misconduct allegations were reportedly ignored, including a sexual assault claim by a female employee.
Specific Incidents
Strip club incident: Hegseth allegedly had to be restrained from joining dancers at a Louisiana strip club during a work trip.
Islamophobic outburst: A former employee reported Hegseth drunkenly shouting "Kill All Muslims!" repeatedly at a bar during an official tour.
Inappropriate touching: A woman reported observing Hegseth touching multiple women at an event.
Sexual Assault Allegation: A woman filed a police report alleging that Hegseth sexually assaulted her in a hotel room. (He was married, of course.)
She claimed he blocked the door, and refused to let her leave.
The woman reported repeatedly saying "no" during the encounter. Hegseth’s attorney said a payment was made to the woman as part of a confidential settlement.
Penelope Hegseth, (Petes mom!) accused her own son of mistreating women:
She wrote, "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".
Penelope Hegseth said he had abused "many" women and urged him to "get some help and take an honest look at yourself."
A MAGA Hero!
