'There's a discrepancy': Former Fox News host doubts Pete Hegseth's sexual assault denial

Raw Story  

Pro-MAGA Newsmax host Greg Kelly, a former anchor at Fox News, doubled down Thursday on his call for Pete Hegseth to withdraw from consideration as President-elect Donald Trump's secretary of defense. "I love President Trump, but he's not infallible," Kelly explained. "He would come as an Iraq War veteran and say what a great thing the Iraq War was and how we were there for all the right reasons and yes, no weapons of mass destruction, but this war is going great," Kelly recalled. Kelly said his initial impulse was to support Trump's nominee before finding out that Hegseth agreed to pay a settlement to a woman who accused him of sexual assault.
