"They're gonna make it up": Hegseth claims Dems are running Kavanaugh playbook on his nomination

Pete Hegseth sees parallels between his embattled nomination for secretary of defense and that of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Speaking to Megyn Kelly on Wednesday, Hegseth said that the opposition to his Cabinet nomination was pulled straight from the "playbook" that Democrats ran against Kavanaugh, who was accused of sexual assault by professor Christine Blasey Ford during his ultimately successful confirmation in 2018. Hegseth said that the claims against him were "all innuendo" and not "sourced." The former Fox News host made that claim despite a police report and an email from his mother that called him an "abuser of women."
