Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., penned a 33-page letter to Pete Hegeth and for some bizarre reason, mentioned his Christian tattoo.

The triggered lawmaker has some concerns with President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for Defense Secretary, which she made known in an unhinged rant. She gave Hegseth just four days to reply to her over 70 questions, and implied that he could be an “insider threat” over his “Deus Vult” tattoo, which translates to “God’s will.”

“I have serious concerns about your qualifications to serve in this role given your past history, including mismanagement of two non-profit organizations you ran, accusations of sexual assault and drinking problems, your blatant disregard for the contributions of female servicemembers, support for war crimes and torture, threats to politicize the military, advocating for ‘war’ against political enemies, threats to undermine DoD readiness and diversity, and contempt for veterans receiving benefits they earned,” she wrote.

She then goes on for several pages to rehash unproven allegations against Hegseth, including claims he has consumed alcohol in excess in the past, which the media has already moved on from when the allegations failed to force him to withdraw himself from consideration.

“There have been at least 11 separate incidents in which you have been described as drinking excessively or inappropriately in public, in addition to reports from former and current Fox colleagues that ‘on more than a dozen occasions…they smelled alcohol on [you] before [you] went on air.’ At any moment, the Secretary of Defense can be called upon to provide critical national security advice to the President,” the senator harped. “But you have been repeatedly accused of exhibiting a pattern of alcohol abuse. While I believe we should support individuals with substance use disorders, we cannot have a Secretary of Defense, charged with making essential and critical national security decisions involving life and death, who is also struggling with alcohol abuse.”

Her questions regarding this subject involved probing whether friends and family of Hegseth have ever advised he seek treatment for alcohol consumption, and whether or not he promises to resign as Defense Secretary if he has even one drink while serving.

1. A report prepared by CVA staff “describes [you] as being repeatedly intoxicated while acting in [your] official capacity—to the point of needing to be carried out of the organization’s events.” In one professional event you were described as “totally sloshed” and needing to be carried to your room because “[you were] so intoxicated.” In yet another incident, you “‘passed out’ in the back of a party bus, then urinated in front of a hotel where C.V.A.’s team was staying.” Are any of these allegations truthful? If so, do you have any explanation for your behavior?
2. You and another colleague disregarded CVA’s policy of “no alcohol” at events within a month of the policy being put in place by lifting it during a get-out-the-vote field operation in North Carolina in 2014. The evening before the election, you were “so inebriated by 1 A.M. that a staffer who had driven [you] to [your] hotel…asked for assistance to get [you] to [your] room.” Why did you lift this policy?
3. It is my understanding you have pledged not to drink alcohol if confirmed. If you break this pledge, will you promise to resign immediately as Secretary of Defense?
4. Have you ever received any treatment for substance abuse, including alcohol abuse? If so, please provide details on the treatment you have received.
5. Have you ever been told by any individual that you should seek or consider seeking treatment for substance abuse, including alcohol abuse?

She then goes on to dredge up allegations of sexual harassment, a typical accusation made against men who don’t capitulate to leftist ideology.

“In December 2024, I sent a letter with several Senators asking the President-elect Trump transition team about your views on women serving in combat roles and allegations against you of sexual assault and harassment. This includes allegations described in a memo the Trump transition team received that you ‘raped [a] then-30-year-old conservative group staffer [“Jane Doe”] in [your] room after drinking at a hotel bar” on October 8, 2017. They also include reports that while you were president of CVA, you and other members of your management team “sexually pursued the organization’s female staffers, whom [you] divided into two groups—the ‘party girls’ and the ‘not party girls.’” You and your team also ‘ignored serious accusations of impropriety, including an allegation made by a female employee that another employee on [your] staff had attempted to sexually assault her’ at a strip club. One report stated that, ‘Fear of reprisal looms over every woman associated with the organization.’ These allegations and reporting that indicate you hid this information from the Trump transition team raise serious questions about your character and integrity,” the lawmaker wrote.

Warren asks Hegseth to detail every sexual misconduct allegation made against him, whether they were real or not, and whether or not he reported the rape allegation to Trump’s transition team.

“Your attorney has threatened to sue ‘Jane Doe.’ What message do you think this sends to women who are serving or will serve in the military and are afraid to report sexual harassment or assault?” Warren asked, seemingly unaware that not only are Americans considered innocent until proven guilty, but also that citizens have the right to pursue legal recourse against someone maligning their character in public, especially in instances where wrongdoing has not been proven in a court of law.

She later mentioned that Hegseth’s tattoo was the reason he was removed from President Joe Biden’s inauguration, saying that concerns he could be an “insider threat” are disqualifying.

“After the attack on the Capitol, you ‘spread baseless conspiracy theories claiming the initial break-in was a false flag operation carried out by leftist groups disguised as Trump supporters.’ You were also removed from President Biden’s inauguration because of concerns that you were an insider threat after reports that your ‘Deus Vult’ tattoo ‘was a Christian expression associated with right-wing extremism.’ We cannot have a Defense Secretary whose fellow servicemembers feel concerned enough about to report as a potential insider threat.”

Trump transition spokesman Brian Hughes waved off Warren’s concerns.

“Sen. Warren’s letter to Pete Hegseth is exactly what the American voters rejected on Nov. 5. Instead of focusing on ‘woke’ policies that have weakened our national defense, the voters gave a mandate to rebuild our military, and that’s exactly what a reform-minded Secretary of Defense like Pete Hegseth will do,” he said. “Senator Warren’s letter proves why ideologically driven college professors have no place driving their social agenda at the Department of Defense.”
