This has to be one of the more pathetic attempts to pretend to "both sides" the sexual assault accusations against Hegseth and Trump that I've seen in quite a while.
I'm not sure why CNN thought they were doing their viewers any sort of favor by bringing on Trump apologist Tricia McLaughlin for this segment, and they really do need to get their act together with who is invited on as a guest.
Trump employees who are willing to lie for him as part of their job, or in the hope of future employment do nothing but misinform the public.
Sadly, that was once again the case during the segment above. Here's the back and forth where Democratic strategist Julie Roginsky had to remind McLaughlin about why Hegseth isn't qualified for the job Secretary of Defense, along with the fact that the accusations of rape or sexual assault aren't his only problem:
ROGINSKY: Pete Hegseth has many problems in addition to what you just said. Pete Hegseth, when he was at Princeton, published an article that said that women who are raped while they're passed out, actually, that's not really rape, because if they can't consent, if they're not aware of what's happening to them, that's not rape.
