We KNEW there was a chance there was something fishy about the latest allegations regarding Pete Hegseth!

According to Breitbart, "Danielle Dietrich, the estranged ex-sister-in-law of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who is now claiming he abused his ex-wife, is a lifelong Democrat who is represented by a lawyer working for a prominent Democratic Party-connected firm."

Wow. Who could have guessed that Democrats would ever make up false allegations to try to get the people they want in office?

Now we know that the latest smear campaign against Donald Trump's current nominee for America's Secretary of Defense is coming straight from the liberal spin machine.

The allegations:

Previously in the nomination process, Pete Hegseth was accused of assaulting a woman at a hotel. Even though the woman's story was full of holes and it was eventually decided that Hegseth did nothing wrong, that hasn't stopped liberals from slinging mud at one of Donald Trump's most high-profile picks.

Pete Hegseth certainly is an interesting man. He's a former television presenter, apparently an alcoholic, and has been accused of being abusive to women.

The question now is how do we get to the bottom of these allegations? One way would be to start by looking at where they're coming from.

In this case, the source of the allegations is extremely noteworthy.

Democrat Donors

Hegseth's accuser, Danielle Dietrich, is being represented by "Leita Walker of Ballard Spahr, which 'has a strong financial connection to Biden and some Democratic politicians,' according to the Pennsylvania Capital-Star. The news outlet reported:

Individual attorneys at Ballard Spahr have been politically active for at least the last three decades, according to data from Open Secrets. And their giving has skewed to Democrats.

But the firm’s political largesse nearly quadrupled in the Trump era. The previous high was $272,000 in 2008. In 2016, the firm’s attorneys gave $846,000. By 2020, political giving increased to more than $955,000, including $148,450 from a newly active political action committee.

The firm has been solidly Democratic for a while, which doesn't bode well for them when deciding if we can trust their accusations against Pete Hegseth.

According to the Capitol-Star, the firm hosted a virtual inauguration event for former President Joe Biden in 2020 with the Pennsylvania and Delaware Democratic Parties. It also reported that one of the biggest beneficiaries of the donations has been Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), who attacked Hegseth during his confirmation hearing.

OpenSecrets.org reports that Kamala Harris was the top recipient of the firm's donation dollars in 2024. The law firm's Instagram page is also filled with very liberal language, touting "diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), a concept drawn from the Marxist-based Critical Race Theory. The firm kicked off Women’s History Month last year with a quote from Walker — Dietrich’s lawyer — that said:"

“If women want any rights more than they’s got, why don’t they just take them, and not be talking about it?”

This quote from Sojourner Truth has always inspired me to not get sidestracked admiring the problem. Spend less time talking and more time doing.
