For Pete Hegseth, redemption without accountability - The Boston Globe

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

67% : In his opening statement, Hegseth also referenced "my incredible wife Jennifer, who has changed my life."
41% : Neither is it important to Republican senators, who will do anything to ingratiate themselves to Trump.
36% : And while he promised to run a defense department that "will remain patriotically apolitical and stridently constitutional," he made it clear his fealty is to Trump.
28% : Character is unimportant to voters who are sending Trump back to the White House, despite his felony convictions, his track record of infidelity, and a jury's verdict that he was civilly liable for sexual abuse.
11% : When asked by Senator Elissa Slotkin of Michigan whether a president can give an illegal order, and if that happened, would he "stand in the breach" and say no, Hegseth said he rejected the premise because Trump would never do that.
