Virginia Democrat Senator Tim Kaine focused his time on Hegseth’s sexlife. Kaine focused his attention on Hegseth’s sexual relationship in 2017. He noted that Hegseth was married at the time, and two months earlier, had welcomed a child with Jennifer Rauchet, who is now Hegseth’s third wife.
Hegseth was accused of sexual assault by a woman who had previously after an alleged interaction in 2017. reports state that the prosecutors didn’t bring charges because there wasn’t ” evidence beyond a reasonable suspicion.” Hegseth testified at the hearing that the matter was “fully investigated,” and he had been “completely cleared.” Kaine, however, continued to press the issue.
You think that you have been cleared of all charges because you did not commit any crime? Kaine asked, “Is that your definition of being cleared?” I am surprised that you could stand up here and claim to be completely clear. Can you casually cheat on your second wife, or on the mother of an infant born two months earlier and then tell us you’re completely cleared?
Kaine is notable for being the running mate to Hillary Clinton, whose spouse had an affair with White House intern. Kaine also supported Vice-President Kamala Harris whose husband Doug Emhoff had been accused for physically abusing atleast one woman.
