Pete Hesgeth is a real piece of ----

3. The Post story does not try to hide that he very likely drugged this woman and raped her

The idea that the woman would be looking for a late night hook-up with drunk Hesgeth with her husband and two small children in another room is not really plausible. She reports being incapacitated for several hours and having to stumble back to her room, even though she was not drinking. Her husband went looking for her. The next day, when she has a flash memory of being raped, she goes to the emergency room and has a rape kit taken, where semen in found.

None of this indicates a consensual hook-up with Hesgeth. It all indicates that he roofied her and raped her.

It's quite frankly unbelievable that this is not the absolute top story across this site and all news sites. Her friend wrote a memorandum to the transition team and copied the Washington Post upon hearing of his nomination. The woman was a Republican staffer who was responsible for taking care of Hesgeth at the Republcian Women's meeting.

The only reason she was even near his room was that he was shitface drunk, hitting on two other women, and her boss told her to extricate him and make sure he got back to his room in one piece.
