Tim Kaine: Tim Kaine grills Pete Hegseth over ‘cheating’ on wife, social media users ask what about Doug Emhoff

Hegseth was grilled by Tim Kaine over his past relationships.

Democrat Senator Tim Kaine refused to budge and kept on grilling Pete Hegseth, the defense secretary pick of the incoming administration — at the confirmation hearing. As Kaine pressed him about ‘cheating on’ his second wife and then asked him whether he physically assaulted any of his wives, social media users asked why Kaine never displayed this moral uppity for Doug Emhoff whose first marriage broke because he cheated.
Bringing up the 2017 allegation of sexual assault, Kaine asked whether Hegseth cheated on his then-wife. Because Hegseth said whatever happened between him and the woman who later complained was consensual. Kaine asked him whether this meant he cheated on his wife because he was married to Samatha Deering at that time. Kaine asked whether the incident happened when he was married to his second wife, Samantha Deering, and two months before he had a child with his former Fox News colleague, Jennifer Rauchet, who would become his third wife.

Hegseth did not go into the details and repeated that he was falsely charged. married to his second wife, Samantha Deering, and two months before he had a child with his former Fox News colleague, Jennifer Rauchet, who would become his third wife.
“I will allow your words to speak for themselves,” Hegseth said.
“I assume that in each of your weddings, you‘ve pledged to be faithful to your wife,” Kaine said.
Hegseth said he was not a perfect person.
“I have failed in things in my life, and thankfully I‘m redeemed by my lord and savior, Jesus Christ,” he said.
Kaine then asked him whether he thinks that someone who committed sexual assault should be disqualified from becoming defense secretary. Hegseth again said it was a false charge. And asked whether domestic violence should be disqualifying, Hegseth said that it was a “hypothetical.”
“I don‘t think it‘s a hypothetical,” Kaine fired back. “Violence against spouses occurs every day. And if you, as a leader are not capable of saying that physical violence against a spouse should be a disqualifying fact for being secretary of the most powerful nation in the world, you‘re demonstrating an astonishing lack of judgment.”
