Pete Hegseth used his wife's credit card to book a hotel room for his mistress

Secretary of Defense material? Yesterday, a GOP senator called him "brilliant"
_________________

First, Schwarz saw charges for a local hotel room on her credit card that she didn’t recognize. When she confronted Hegseth, he was evasive. Two sources told me that Schwarz later learned that Hegseth had booked the room for Deering, with whom he had been having an affair. Finally, Hegseth revealed that he had had five affairs while they were married.

He may be book smart but he's a cheating, boozing, dumbass about life. Wife number three must be a bit uncomfortable, right now, and the first two are like "we could have told you that if you'd asked".

No man should have more than three affairs with each wife before moving on, common courtesy.

Financially prudent to have her pay for it, but this is where I draw the line.

It appears that trump only wants those people who he has dirt on so he can manipulate the whole government to suit his whims.

trump is an exceptionally dumb and spoiled child. He was going off of his warm fuzzy feelings for his TV, as he so often does, and nobody was going to do anything but enable him this time around. The adults left the building a LONG time ago. Ivanka isn’t there to sexy-talk her daddy into some hastily-feigned facsimile of legitimacy. Hell no. We got the full id right here. Buckle up.

He will fit in really well in the Trump 2025 administration.

He's purposefully mocking our country's system of government.

and found some interesting info about his current wife. She seems to be just as MAGA as he is.

Rauchet is a TV producer whose credits include Watters’ World, hosted by Jesse Watters. She is an alum of Towson University in the state of Maryland, having graduated with a degree in journalism.

Hegseth and Rauchet met when he was a TV host for Fox & Friends Weekend, and she was a producer of Fox’s morning show. An executive alleged that Rauchet showed favouritism towards Hegseth, per US media. She was moved to a different Fox show so that she wouldn’t be working with Hegseth any more. Rauchet was also married when her relationship with Hegseth began, per The List.

In 2017, the couple welcomed their first child together, daughter Gwen, per The Independent. Hegseth and Rauchet each have three children from previous relationships. The couple were married in 2019 in the month their daughter turned two. The wedding venue was the Trump National Golf Club Colts Neck in New Jersey.

The couple wore Maga-inspired “Make weddings great again” hats to their wedding rehearsal, per The Daily Beast. Hegseth regularly pays tribute to his wife on social media. “You are more beautiful, purposeful and wonderful than anyone I’ve ever met. I thank God every day for gracing my life with your soul,” he wrote on her birthday in 2023.

And the cult all wonder why why think they’re weird and scoff at their claims of “Making America Great Again”. Jackasses.
