So in other words, it's bull****.

Old news.

It was new to Fox earlier

I think they don't talk to each other. I knew about it long ago, and I'm sure I got it from Fox.

Unless it's a new one.

Not new. Here's a headline.

"CNN reporter details past sexual assault allegation against Pete Hegseth"

Headlines everywhere now. Never was an issue until he was appointed to Sec Def, apparently.

Oh. Fox blows then.

Here's more:

WaPo: Trump team weighs Pentagon pick after sexual assault allegation surfaces
Trump’s pick for defense secretary was investigated in a 2017 incident in California, Monterey police said. Hegseth’s lawyer said police found no evidence of wrongdoing.

They do. I've known this a long time. Hasn't been a secret. I know I got it from Fox.

Is it possible you missed the part where they could have said a 2017 incident? Or past incident? Maybe came in on the middle of it?

Anyway, it's old news, was investigated. No charges filed. I would be shocked if Trump didn't know before he named Pete.

Hey B, it says "2017 incident" right there in your link. In the headline. :)

They were talking about it on Fox. I thought it was something new. I probably was barely paying attention. My bad.

That's okay. That's why you have me as a wing man.

This is like the Kavanaugh thing. Nobody brings anything up until right after a Repub gets nominated for something big.
