  2. ≠ SAID · OCT 2026“And after I saw what happened to Brett Kavanaugh, there was no way I was going to do that to Hegseth, even though I really didn’t think he was going to be up to the task, and I think the last year and a half has proven that my instincts were right.”
  3. EXPLAINED · 11 OCT 2026“I dedicate a whole chapter to my biggest regret. So I think it’s pretty clear that I regret that decision.”
