Ann Coulter Slams Controversial Trump Cabinet Nominee As 'Sleazy' Serial Adulterer
HuffPost
During a Monday podcast, the conservative commentator seemed more bothered by Pete Hegseth's habit of cheating than by the rape allegation he faces.
Ann Coulter doesn’t think highly of Donald Trump’s controversial nominee to lead the Department of Defense — but it’s not because he’s been accused of rape.
The conservative commentator skewered Fox News host Pete Hegseth’s character during Monday’s episode of her podcast, “Unsafe with Ann Coulter,” but appeared to dismiss Hegseth’s rape accuser and instead took issue with his cheating, calling Trump’s Cabinet pick “sleazy” and a “serial adulterer.”
Hegseth was investigated for allegedly raping a woman after speaking at an event for Republican women in 2017. Prosecutors declined to press charges, citing a lack of “proof beyond a reasonable doubt.”
The news anchor, who has been married three times and was in the midst of his second divorce at the time of the alleged rape, has repeatedly claimed that the encounter was consensual.
Coulter appears to have accepted his explanation and suggested on Monday’s episode that it was possible Hegseth’s accuser had “cried rape.”
