The following is the text of the email that Penelope Hegseth sent to her son, Pete Hegseth, on April 30, 2018. One sentence was redacted by The New York Times for privacy reasons.

Son,

I have tried to keep quiet about your character and behavior, but after listening to the way you made Samantha feel today, I cannot stay silent. And as a woman and your mother I feel I must speak out..

You are an abuser of women — that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth.

I am not a saint, far from it.. so don’t throw that in my face,. but your abuse over the years to women (dishonesty, sleeping around, betrayal, debasing, belittling) needs to be called out.

Sam is a good mother and a good person (under the circumstances that you created) and I know deep down you know that. For you to try to label her as “unstable” for your own advantage is despicable and abusive. Is there any sense of decency left in you? She did not ask for or deserve any of what has come to her by your hand. Neither did Meredith.

I know you think this is one big competition and that we have taken her side… bunk… we are on the side of good and that is not you. (Go ahead and call me self-righteous, I dont’ care)

Don’t you dare run to her and cry foul that we shared with us… that’s what babies do. It’s time for someone (I wish it was a strong man) to stand up to your abusive behavior and call it out, especially against women

We still love you, but we are broken by your behavior and lack of character. I don’t want to write emails like this and never thought I would. If it damages our relationship further, then so be it, but at least I have said my piece. [Redacted]

And yes, we are praying for you (and you don’t deserve to know how we are praying, so skip the snarky reply)

I don’t want an answer to this… I don’t want to debate with you. You twist and abuse everything I say anyway. But… On behalf of all the women (and I know it’s many) you have abused in some way, I say… get some help and take an honest look at yourself…

Mom

I have been trying to find it.  

Just type something like "Pete Hegseth's mom's email" into any search engine.

END OF MESSAGE

I put more weight into what she said the first time, because that's what she truly thought in her gut, before it got watered down by familial, political, social, and financial influences. Ask yourself why she would make such a lengthy, detailed false statement in the first place.

I simply thought it was important to note her retraction, believe it or not.

the truth, even if it's sometimes inconvenient.  Kudos.

Though it's helpful for them that they can't even tell the truth from lies.

I was simply expressing my thoughts about her retraction. There's a lot of back peddling in politics. For example, when Hegseth was asked on his way to a meeting if he still believed that female shoulders should not be in combat, his response was "I understand there's a lot of them there now."

It's really more than a little stalkerish.
What a complete fool.
And now, to shut him up, we default to letting him have the last word.
It never fails to shut him up.

Is what your radical far left masters tell you to believe.  
 You say and do as you are told to say and do just another subservient submissive beta leftie. Should add gullible  and naïve too.
