Considering that the man who nominated him was found civilly liable for rape, I’m not sure why everyone is surprised.

Apparently sexual violence against women, or household pets, is a requirement for a Trump cabinet position.

Feature not a bug

Sexual assault never stops Trump’s picks. Have you heard of Bret Kavanaugh? We also have Matt Gaetz that may make it through the nomination process. Common sense, common decency has gone out the window. We’re in different times now.

Why? That's their entire thing.

I wish trump’s supporters would associate sexual assault as a bad thing, but I don’t think they care/believe anything bad of him or his cohorts. Their sense of decency is lower priority than money..makes sense in a capitalistic sort of way.

Not much there there but read his 2 divorce decisions and you might understand why he’s a perfect MAGA man

Ah. The formerly renowned newspaper that lost it's spine and refused to make a presidential endorsement, which I subsequently unsubscribed from.

Probably improved his chances, everyone he's picking is bound to be based on how corrupt they are. Feels like the next 4 years are completely fucked.

Oh please. Rape and SA are prerequisites for inclusion in his camp.

But Gaetz is still gold? 👍

With all the horror over Gaetz and RFK, don't take your eye off the ball with this racist, sexist prick.

It’s almost as if that is a prerequisite for this administration

Is this another one of their attempts to troll everyone?

Of course there are. Like a moth to a flame trump to men accused of sexual misconduct.

Of course he does. Donald gravitates to men with sexual misconduct history.

Does Trump only hang out with sex offenders? Does he know other people?

They found it to be a positive.

He is fucking creep! He loves war criminals!

Being a sexual predator is in the job description of the new administration. Why stop at Hegseth?

That's perfect for those clowns!

Is it me or did much of Wall Street go from wahoo to uh-oh in under 2 weeks? It sounds like Trump’s unserious, unqualified Cabinet noms have created worry amongst major analysts & investors. F’in wonderful.

He’ll be right at home

I believe sexual assault revelations are required to be in this cabinet. You know, like a pre-requisite for a job.

Of course he did

Love the “we the people” juxtaposed against his Christian right tattoos. Fucking bro chode with basic ass bitch tattoos. What a douchebag.

The Nazi tattoo wasn't enough for them to say no. There is a lot more in that closet.

Hegseth is a big mouth, Gish Galloping a-hole.

Seems like Pete Hegseth would be the perfect candidate for any position in the Trump Administration. Charged with sexual assault, heck, Trump would have to love this guy. Think of the stories they could swap!

Are we seriously still trying to pretend like we’re surprised when trump goes off the rails? When is the press going to grasp what the rest of us did a decade ago? He’s not normal. Nothing will be normal. Rules and laws don’t matter, thanks in large part to the press normalizing him since 2015.

“recess appointments”

My two year old can be more factual then this paper.

Like that would bother a Meggot when they know what Frumpt did and they all still voted for him. Makes me sick

Not that i mean to point out that sexual assualt is a common trait when it comes to Trump & MAGA, but WTF is wrong with you, huh? Sexual Assualt may be, besides him being a overt Neo Nazi, one trait that may have pushed him over the line to be considered as Sec Of Def!

Brett Kavanaugh says "Don't worry about it."

So a rapist is second-guessing his selection of a sexual abuser?

Zero surprise. They're all the same

Not a problem...

First wife divorced him for infidelity. Then, while married to his second wife, had a child with another woman. But these are the people who claim LGBTs are destroying the country morally. 🙄

So… he’s a perfect fit?

Feature not a bug

So much rape going around maybe we need to look harder at Rubio.

Sounds like he's over-qualified for that bunch of reprobates.

You, more than almost any media outlet, are responsible for the chaos this nation has been flung in to. Your policy of sane-splaining trump and flat out refusing to call his lies lies, your entire election coverage, your refusal to ENDORSE all are reasons I canceled. You wanted a trump presidency.

Trump “is never wrong” so there is no way they will pull back a pick!

It’s a perfect fit

If you had a problem with criminals in the administration, maybe the @washingtonpost.com should have spoken up earlier.

Isn't that a prerequisite for a cabinet position these days?!

If this was the only problem with this guy, he would fit right in, but this article from better reporting paints a much darker picture: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Im here ! I need my “x” friends back please ! 💙

This new revelation adds a troubling layer to Trump’s transition team discussions. Leadership choices are under intense scrutiny, and this allegation only deepens the questions.

Now do Gaetz.

That is just what America needs in charge of national defence - someone who’s already great at dodging investigations. The qualifications of Trump’s team are through the roof.

Also let's not forget the sinister tattoos.

Isn't sexual assault a requirement to work in a Trump administration.

Par for the course.

And nothing about the pedophile he wants in charge of justice dept?

He should fit right in.

Are any of Trumps picks free of sexual assault allegations? It looks like a prerequisite.

Toxic hyper masculinity.

Trumps senior officials have demonstrated a complete lack of caring for women's rights or wellbeing, soooo...

Can't polish a turd.

We all know darn well a disgusting sex crime means nothing to the incoming administration... As reprehensible as that is.

This is a Major in the National Guard! He is a nothing in the military. He has a sexual assault allegation against him. His highest qualification is that he would never say no to the felonious President. JFC!

Unlike all the other criminals around drumpf

So in this administration, some rapists and pedophiles are bad. But others are good.

Shame on y’all. You pulled the plug on democracy and now we’re in the fucking dark. Pound sand. WaPo.

They’ll like him better now.

But they gone act like Matt Gaetz ain’t out there too?

He fits right in with rest of the dregs.

Being a sexual deviant is the brand

So, if he didn’t do it, I guess his nomination could be in big trouble.

Ring a predator and liar is prerequisite to work in the White House . He fits the bill with 45

Blue states should merge with Canada.

Assaulted a woman? He’ll fit right in with the party elected by the majority of people.

Im sure Justice Kavanaugh will put a stop to this nominee immediately.

It’s like the sexual assault is the feature instead of the bug.

An adjudicated rapist promoting an alleged offender is hardly surprising. Birds of a feather and all that. If I were a woman in USA right now, I’d be shit scared of these ghouls

Why would the sycophants of a pussygrabbing rapist care about this guy having a sex assault accusation?

TRUMPSHIT Trump's team is trying to grab all our attention this week. I think the nominees won't hold any position in the end, they're too unfit or batshit crazy! But Trump's brand got most of the media airtime and everybody's brain space this week. 👏

That would not surprise me. Trump signed several back in the 1980s for exactly the same type of sexual assaults.

It’s a prerequisite! 🤷🏻‍♀️💔

How are we not surprised? Sic transit gloria mundi😕

So did his boss and Americans elected him. Are we still acting as if morals matter?

What, is he considering him for an even more important job?

You mean they didn’t vet him prior?!?!?!?!

Um…isn’t a sexual assault prerequisite for all of the nominees + the president elect? It seems to be the MAGA MO

DISQUALFIED!!

Why would it bother them? Trump is a convicted rapist.

Isn't that a prerequisite in Trump's world?

I thought that was a requirement to be chosen as a member of Trump’s cabinet.

Let’s crack this one open and find out more about Pete!

Sexual predators stick together. Some actually need a particular job so as not to go to jail & that person just got ELECTED AS PRESIDENT!😤 Rape & sexual assault has INCREASED in states that MEN decided that it was a "good" thing to ban abortions BUT if MEN didn't rape, ABORTION wouldn't be needed!

Soooo, they’re going to fast track him?

I thought this was a prerequisite for a job on his team.

It almost seems that prospective appointees should be vetted beforehand…..

But this would be a point in his favor no?

Color me entirely unsurprised.

What’s worse, moral depravity or incompetence? Trump team: why not have both!?

I believe having a sexual assault charge is required to have a position in the convicted rapist’s administration

Sounds like he meets all the qualifications of the Trump Team

They have standards? Who would’ve thought so? Are they also willing to apply these moral baseline to Gaetz and the head honcho- the dude with 34 criminal Indictments?

Yet the Washington Piss decided not to endorse the only sane minded candidate. Now live with it.

Is anyone REALLY surprised? I mean come on now it's 🍊🤡💩? it's the end of the world as we know it and I am NOT fine 🥺 ✊POWER TO WOMEN EVERYWHERE ✊ HAIL SATAN🤘✌️💙☺️🌈💨

So true! They can ignore or justify anything. I mean look at their leader? lol

Of course he did. Everyone of these pics has some thing nefarious in their background. Trump wouldn’t be impressed with them if they didn’t.

Trump is a rapist.

We're well on our way to an administration full of sex offenders.

Seems like a prerequisite for a top job with Trump.

He is another piece of shit of MAGA.

This is so stupid. Trump puts the entire establishment media in a spin cycle with the incessant leaks, take backs, etc. Same old playbook, as an ill-fated presidential candidate once said.

But not the white supremacy stuff.

Of course - now we know why he picked him.

Ahh - rape seems to be a prereq for this class

Maybe you could write an opinion about how you’re not only journalists but HUMAN F***ING BEINGS who disagree with this depravity? Asking too much? My dad taught me to obliterate men who don’t respect women, not appoint then to office! What is wrong with YOU?

Nah he likes him too much for that......needed a guy who used to hate him but changed allegiances when he saw which way the wind was blowing...a guy with that little spine is better suited for VP....the last guy had too much of a spine....

I was going to say the exact thing.

Came here to say this

That makes him MORE desirable to them.

Get real. They appointed Gaetz.

Trump's entire cabinet is sexual predators

Hegseth is about to learn what it means to go from favored to forgotten.

He fits right in then- was she underage too?

Did they hit their sexual assault assailant quota already?

They don’t care about Gaetz actions, why would they care about Hegseths? What makes it even worse is the senate likely won’t care either…..
