“He’s A Pretty Good Guy”: DNC Committee Member DEFENDS Pete Hegseth (On Live TV, Host Is Stunned!)
“Fair is fair.”
Those were the words of Lindy Li, appearing on NewsNation’s “Morning in America” show.
But Li is a sitting member of the Democratic National Convention’s finance committee. And when the show host asked her about the likelihood of Pete Hegseth making it through the confirmation process to become President Trump’s Secretary of Defense…
I don’t think Li gave the answer she was expecting. Watch the clip!
DNC Finance Committee member Lindy Li audibly shocks Newsnation host after defending Pete Hegseth:
Markie Martin: “Do you think Hegseth is about to make it through confirmation hearings?”

It isn’t every day that a card carrying member of the DNC who has voting power in the democrat’s internal committees comes out swinging for the other side’s players; particularly not for Pete Hegseth, who along with Kash Patel may be the primary threats to the left-leaning Deep State!
That is a breath of fresh air indeed to hear Lindy Li give the simple reasoning for her support of Hegseth: “Fair is fair.”
Wow! That’s almost more stunning than a line of democrats abandoning the democratic party, voting for President Trump, and/or re-registering as Republicans!
But if THAT all actually happened, it certainly stands to reason that Lindy Li, DNC committee member, can back Pete Hegseth like she just did!
Add a point to the board for common decency, another for common sense, and another for TRUTH TELLING!
Li even noted out loud that she guessed that NewsNation Host Markie Martin expected her to oppose the nomination outright, according to a report in The Hill.
“Maybe you’re looking for someone to oppose the nomination, but I actually have personal interactions… because I’ve been on Fox and Friends, I’ve met Pete, he’s my fellow Princetonian. I actually think he’s a pretty good guy,” Li said on NewsNation’s “Morning in America.”
“I’m just here to present the facts as I know it,” Li added after receiving a somewhat surprised reaction from host Markie Martin.
Hegseth has come under fire related to allegations of sexual assault connected to an encounter he says was consensual, as well as previous comments he’s made about not allowing women to be in combat roles in the military.
He’s also faced allegations of excessive drinking. The New Yorker reported Sunday that Hegseth was forced to step down by two nonprofit advocacy groups he ran due to mismanagement of funds, sexual impropriety and excessive drinking, and NBC News reported Tuesday that Hegseth’s drinking worried colleagues at Fox News, where he was a weekend host until earlier this month.
A New York Times story also reported that Hegseth’s mother sent him an email in 2018 accusing him of “routinely mistreating women for years” and displaying a “lack of character.” His mother, Penelope Hegseth, backtracked on those statements in a follow-up message, however, apologizing for her original email, claiming she sent the email “in anger, with emotion” when her son and his wife were going through a divorce.
Despite the backlash, Hegseth has vowed not to back down despite facing an uphill battle in the Senate. GOP members in the upper chamber seemed discouraged at Hegseth’s confirmation chances.
Before I bring us to the falsehoods that the democrats (and RINO Republicans) have attempted to smear Pete Hegseth with, don’t forget that time Nancy Pelosi explained in detail the process of the “wrap up smear”.
Never forget when Nancy Pelosi revealed the Democrat Party’s entire playbook:
‘The Wrap Up Smear’

As I alluded to, there are reasons that Lindy Li is able to so casually throw her support behind Pete Hegseth.
The fact is… she actually KNOWS the facts, and was not caught up in the “wrap up smear” tactic that Pelosi so eloquently laid out for us back in 2023.
And according to a comprehensive piece by Breitbart, here are the facts relating to one of the smear attacks being used in an attempt to thwart Hegseth’s confirmation as Secretary of Defense.
A police report from 2017 released this week via a freedom of information request casts doubt on a sexual assault allegation made against President-Elect Donald Trump’s defense secretary nominee, Pete Hegseth.
The accuser — whose identity is redacted — claimed Hegseth raped her in 2017 during a Republican women’s conference at a hotel in Monterey, California. According to the accuser, it happened after conference organizers went to the hotel bar after an after-party following that day’s events.
However, the police report raised questions about the accuser’s claim, with several eyewitness accounts and surveillance video suggesting she and Hegseth had a consensual sexual encounter she was attempting to hide from her husband — who was staying with her at the same hotel along with their children.
Revelations in the police report that cast doubt over the accuser’s rape allegation included:
1. The accuser said she did not remember how she got in Hegseth’s hotel room, but remembered details such as Hegseth allegedly blocking the door with his body and her allegedly saying “no” a lot, and “not much else.”
2. There was no evidence of rape, according to the police report.
3. Earlier in the day of the alleged rape, she texted her husband numerous times about Hegseth, including that the women at the conference were “freaking drooling over him,” and that, “He talks pretty tho.” As the night progressed, she stopped responding to her worried husband’s text messages.
4. A person whose name is redacted but appears to be her husband told police that after she returned to their hotel room, she did not have a hard time walking and was not slurring her words. The accuser told the person believed to be her husband she “must have fallen asleep,” and was apologetic.
5. The accuser later told police that she remembered asking Hegseth if he had a condom.
6. The accuser declined to conduct a “pretext” phone call with Hegseth — where she would call him to discuss the alleged rape with the police listening in.
7. A hotel worker told police he received complaints at approximately 1:30 a.m. from two separate guests that a couple near the pool was causing a disturbance and being loud. The worker went to the pool, and said the accuser apologized for Hegseth’s actions and put her hand and arm on Hegseth’s back and walked him away from the pool area towards buildings 4 and 5 — where Hegseth’s room was located.
8. The hotel worker said Hegseth was “very intoxicated” but the accuser was “standing on her own and was very coherent.”
9. Hotel surveillance video showed the accuser and Hegseth leaving the hotel bar together at approximately 1:15 a.m., with locked arms and heading towards the pool.
10. An eyewitness said she saw the accuser flirting with Hegseth, and the flirting “consisted of touching of the body or arm.”
11. The same eyewitness said she saw the accuser the next morning and that she “did not seem any different and was her normal self.”
12. While Hegseth said he was “buzzed” but not intoxicated, he told police he was led out the bar but could not remember by whom, but described the person’s clothing, which matched the accuser’s dress.
13. Hegseth also said he did not remember being chastised for being too loud by the pool. He said he went back to his hotel room with the accuser, but was confused as to why she stayed in his room.
14. He said “things progressed” between himself and the accuser and that the interaction was consensual. He said they would both stop and say, “we shouldn’t do this,” but things consensually continued. He also confirmed that she asked if he had a condom.
15. Hegseth told police that the accuser showed “early signs of regret,” and told him she would tell her husband she had fallen asleep on a couch in someone else’s room — which tracks with what the person believed to be her husband told police that she had initially told him.
When someone is honest, the truth “rings true”, so to speak.
And by giving police a truthful and honest explanation for what happened — the good, bad, and ugly — Pete Hegseth may have had to admit some uncomfortable realities that I’m sure he regrets and would rather not share with the public.
But in so doing, he clearly established himself as having the strength of character to own up to the reality of a tough situation, including his bad decisions which ultimately enabled a very dangerous situation to occur.
Nevertheless… “fair is fair”, as Lindy Li so succinctly stated. And that’s the truth.
Fair is fair. And it’s about time that people regain the strength of character that would disallow the intentional public smearing of a man or woman when you know the “facts” being lowered against the person are not truly facts.
Lindy Li is apparently a person who possess enough grit to walk in that degree of character, at least in this instance — and another I just found after President Trump’s victory.
Democrats, we’re gonna keep losing if we attack ALL Trump voters as racists & misogynists
Yes, racism & misogyny are factors but they are NOT the only reason why Harris lost
Inflation was a HUGE reason
We’re gonna keep losing if we denigrate the entire country@tracegallagher pic.twitter.com/9Yr4ZAB2TO

Good for her. And all the better for the nation as others regain the strength to do the same, on principle — rather than the constant political pragmatic one-upmanship to “win” at any cost.
