The Left is willing to stoop to any low. But this is beyond the pale for most in Washington, D.C.
Now a Democrat Senator got dragged for doing this despicable act to one Republican’s child.
Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., took aim at Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth during a fiery Senate hearing, drawing sharp criticism from conservatives after bringing Hegseth’s 7-year-old daughter into the exchange.
“So you think you are completely cleared because you committed no crime?” Kaine questioned Hegseth during the confirmation hearing on Tuesday.
“You had just fathered a child two months before by a woman that was not your wife. I am shocked that you would stand here and say you’re completely cleared.”
Kaine’s remarks referenced Hegseth’s personal life and a 2017 incident in Monterey, California, where Hegseth faced accusations of s*xual assault.
Hegseth was cleared of any wrongdoing following an investigation, maintaining the encounter was consensual. “I was fully investigated and completely cleared,” he stated.
In response, Hegseth defended his family, saying, “Senator, her child’s name is Gwendolyn Hope Hegseth, and she’s a child of God. She’s 7 years old, and I am glad she’s here.”
Kaine persisted, accusing Hegseth of infidelity.
Hegseth dismissed the allegations as “false charges” and expressed gratitude for his current marriage to the “amazing woman” by his side.
The confrontation intensified as Kaine fixated on the details of the 2017 incident. “You’ve admitted that you had s*x at that hotel in October 2017. You said it was consensual. Isn’t that correct?” Kaine continued.
The heated exchange did not sit well with conservatives.
Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., and others denounced Kaine’s approach, particularly his decision to involve Hegseth’s young daughter.
“Senator Tim Kaine really did try to use Pete Hegseth’s 7-year-old daughter against him—despicable,” Drew Hernandez posted on X.
Critics also highlighted Kaine’s hypocrisy. “IRONY ALERT: Senator Tim Kaine (D-Virginia) lectures Pete Hegseth on adultery,”
The First TV commented, pointing to Kaine’s vice presidential run alongside Hillary Clinton.
Will Chamberlain of the Article III Project weighed in, saying:
“Here’s Tim Kaine campaigning with Doug Emhoff, who—while married—impregnated his nanny and forced her to get an abortion.”
Fox News Digital reached out to Kaine’s office for comment but received no immediate response.
Conservatives have made it clear: Kaine’s decision to invoke a child in a political attack crossed a line, leaving many questioning the senator’s judgment and integrity.
