Pete Hegseth Says Alcohol Allegations Are 'False,' Also Vows Not To Drink On Job
"Hirono noted that Hegseth recently told several Republican senators that he wouldn’t drink if confirmed, a vow he also made in an interview with Megyn Kelly.
“Absolutely,” Hegseth said Tuesday. “I made this commitment on behalf of the men and women I’m serving.”
Hirono asked Hegseth if he would resign as Secretary of Defense if he wound up drinking again, but he didn’t commit to doing so.
Later during the hearing, Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) also grilled Hegseth about his drinking, noting that a whistleblower report from Hegseth’s tenure as CEO of Concerned Veterans for America, a nonprofit group, detailed excessive drinking and even an instance of Hegseth’s co-workers having to physically restrain him. (The internal report was revealed by the New Yorker.)"
