Mary Trump - Predators All the Way Down
Matt Gaetz was the most obviously awful of Donald’s unfit nominees—a hard-partying, drug-abusing, alleged sex trafficker of girls and young women who was very possibly the worst candidate for Attorney General ever put forward. Sadly, but not surprisingly, he is not the only sexual assaulter of women among Donald’s picks; he’s not even the only accused rapist. But because Donald himself is an adjudicated rapist, the choice of these unqualified and violent misogynists is two-fold—it’s a way to throw it in our faces that Donald is above the law, and it’s an attempt to normalize the kinds of behavior that would have been unequivocally disqualifying in any sane, decent society.
Which is why we still have to deal with Pete Hegseth.
Last Wednesday, Mediaite obtained the police report from the rape case against Hegseth, Donald’s nominee to be the Secretary of Defense. It’s worse than we were initially led to believe. Hegseth, who also sports a white nationalist tattoo and came to Donald’s attention when he became an advocating for the pardoning of convicted war criminals, has denied the rape charges even as he admitted to paying off the alleged victim.
As for the victim, after her encounter with Hegseth, she went to the hospital and asked for a rape kit. The woman remembered saying “no” a lot. She reported that Hegseth took her phone and refused to let her leave the hotel room, and she believed that he had slipped drugs into her drink. A nurse, not the alleged victim, filed the police report.
