TIM KAINE EXPOSED HEGSETH -- LIVE, ON THE RECORD. THIS WASN'T A HEARING... IT WAS A RECKONING. - Liberal Lens

[Rhiannon12866]

Senator Tim Kaine delivers one of the most intense and revealing exchanges of this confirmation process, pressing Pete Hegseth on past decisions, undisclosed investigations, and the judgment required to lead the Department of Defense. This breakdown goes deeper than the headlines. I examine why transparency, truthfulness, and accountability matter at the highest levels of national security, and what this moment tells us about the standards we should expect from anyone seeking to oversee the Pentagon.

This isn’t about personal gossip. It’s about whether a nominee can be trusted with global military responsibility, classified information, and the lives of service members. Kaine’s questioning exposes conflicts, evasions, and unresolved concerns that raise important questions about leadership, integrity, and public trust. In this video, I walk you through the facts, the context, and the implications so you can understand exactly why this exchange matters.
