Oklahoma Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin recently spoke out in defense of secretary of defense nominee Pete Hegseth during a Saturday interview. Mullin acknowledged that Hegseth “isn’t without fault” but expressed confidence in his ability to grow from past mistakes.
When questioned about the various allegations against Hegseth, including infidelity, alcohol use, and sexual misconduct, Mullin emphasized the importance of admitting and learning from one's mistakes. He stated, “Here’s a guy that isn’t without fault, but he’s admitted he’s made a mistake. And when you can admit you made a mistake … you can grow from it.”
