It’s become a familiar story.
A man is about to reach an upper echelon of public life when an accusation from his past resurfaces.
Sometimes it’s a bad joke made in a woman’s presence or a rebuffed advance while the man was in a supervisor role.
Other times it’s far more serious accusations of assault.
The latter is what is happening right now to Donald Trump’s pick for secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth.
It’s the Brett Kavanaugh show all over again.
Hegseth has vigorously denied the accusation, but that hasn’t mattered.
The media has gone into smear-fest mode and won’t stop until they get a scalp.
Republicans should not let them take Hegseth’s.
The assault story is suspect, and it’s OK to say so.
The police report details that a “Jane Doe” had seen Hegseth flirt with some women at the conference, Doe approached him to tell him off, specifically that she “did not appreciate how he treated women.”
Video surveillance showed them leaving the hotel for the pool area after 1 a.m.
A hotel employee found them loudly arguing shortly thereafter.
That employee says that Hegseth appeared intoxicated.
Doe apologized for the noise, placed her hand on his back and led him away to his room.
Doe’s husband was also at the hotel and texted her close to 2 a.m., wondering where she was.
When she returned to her room at 4 a.m., she reportedly lied to her husband that she had fallen asleep on someone’s couch.
It wasn’t until several days later that she reported what she alleged happened with Hegseth.
