How is RFK avoiding all questions related to the Nuzzi stuff in public appearances? Don't want to ask about the cum poems and the felching? OK, what about the alleged drug use and catch-and-kill schemes and affair with a reporter who was working to help his campaign behind the scenes? No questions?

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.
If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.
