Kaine absolutely wrecked Hegseth just now. Seven minutes of holding his feet to the fire and he failed to address any of it.

It really should have been a woman asking those specific questions. Kaine's unintentional smile/smirk during the questioning comes off wrong & mildly condescending. And really only ONE senator should have addressed this issue, 2 dem. senators was overkill.They should have focused on other issues.
