His confirmation hearing seems to be going well.
Hegseth dodges questions on invading Greenland, shooting protesters, drinking on the job

What’s the 3rd one that’s difficult?
“Since you became a legal adult, have you ever made unwanted requests for sexual favors or committed any verbal or physical harassment or assault of a sexual nature?” Hirono replied. “No, senator,” Hegseth replied.
“Have you ever faced discipline or entered into a settlement relating to this kind of conduct?” Hirono asked.
“Senator, I was falsely accused in October of 2017, it was fully investigated and I was completely cleared,” he replied.
“I don’t think completely cleared is accurate, but the fact is that your own lawyer said that you entered into a [non-disclosure agreement], paid a person who accused you of raping her a sum of money to make sure that she did not file a complaint,” the senator said.
There is no doubt that he will be confirmed.
