Lindsey Graham Rapidly Reverses His Take on the Hegseth Allegations: 'None of It Counts'

Lindsey Graham Rapidly Reverses His Take on the Hegseth Allegations: ‘None of It Counts’ (The Daily Beast)

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) pulled off a flip-flop in near-record time Wednesday, dismissing a litany of misconduct allegations against Pete Hegseth that just a day earlier he called “very disturbing.”

Hegseth, who President-elect Donald Trump says he intends to nominate for defense secretary, was accused of sexually assaulting a woman in a hotel room in 2017, which he denies.

He was also said to have overseen a sexist workplace at a veterans organization he ran, where the top staff sexually pursued female employees, according to a whistleblower report obtained by The New Yorker. A lawyer for Hegseth called the claims “outlandish” and attributed them to a “disgruntled former associate.”
