Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Defense, once shouted at a bar 'kill all Muslims' in a drunken state. The former Fox News host once drunkenly shouted “kill all Muslims!” in the middle of a bar while serving as the president of a veterans’ group, according to a report in The New Yorker.
Pete Hegseth was pushed out as the head of two veterans' advocacy organisations amid internal allegations of mismanagement and personal misconduct. The two non-profit advocacy groups — Veterans for Freedom and Concerned Veterans for America — both led by Hegseth have the recording apart from other evidence of financial mismanagement and inappropriate sexual advances, according to the report.
Reacting to the fresh claims, Hegseth's lawyers said these outlandish claims must have come from a «petty and jealous disgruntled former associate».

A whistleblower report obtained by the magazine alleged that, during his time leading one of those nonprofit advocacy groups, Hegseth was repeatedly intoxicated at work events and gatherings with staff. It also alleged that he sexually pursued female staffers.
