Gen. John Hyten 'did something incredibly wrong to me,' says Col. Kathryn Spletstoser - PBS NewsHour

[question everything]

Earlier this year, Gen. John Hyten was nominated by President Trump to become the next vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. But he's been accused of sexual assault by one of his former assistants, Col. Kathryn Spletstoser, who reiterated her allegations Tuesday after some members of the Senate Armed Services Committee had dismissed them. Judy Woodruff sits down with Spletstoser to discuss.

Devastating report. I wish she reported it earlier and did not continue working with him. I wish she did not have after hours meetings in his hotel room. I wish she'd kick him in the balls and yell at him. I wish..

1. I listened to her interview on the radio and I believe her

Gen. John Hyten has no business being promoted and allowed to be on the Joint Chiefs of Staff

But that would be in a healthy world that felt misogyny and sexual harassment and assault has no place in our society....

In Trumpism - that elevates you in status....

[question everything]

2. My initial reaction too. Follow the "commander in chief"

[gratuitous]

3. Once Sen. McSally weighed in on Hyten's side, this was over

I really hope McSally adds the qualifier "former" to her title.

4. Iowa Joni Ernst voted NO. A veteran who did suffer harassment

[Pachamama]

5. McNally should be ashamed - what she did was disgusting

I look forward to her being a one-time short-term FORMER Senator....
