From the New York Post: The mother of President-elect Donald Trump’s embattled Secretary of Defense-designee Pete Hegseth slammed the “despicable” New York Times after it published a withering email she sent her son — and said she hopes “senators will not listen to the media” about him.
Penelope Hegseth, who sent a scathing email to her son during his rocky second divorce calling him an “abuser of women,” thanked Trump for believing in him, telling “Fox & Friends” Wednesday morning, “He’s not the man he was seven years ago” and that “I’m not that mother” either.
The 2018 email, leaked to the New York Times, accused him of “dishonesty, sleeping around, betrayal, debasing, belittling” and saying he needed to be “called out.”
Penelope Hegseth told Fox News host Steve Doocy she wrote the message in the heat of the moment — and apologized to her son two hours later in a second email that had not been leaked.
