How many of us are perfect and without sin (“ProPublica’s attempted hit piece on Hegseth shows drive-by media are still at it,” web, Dec. 19)?

How many of us did foolish things in our younger days that we now regret? Yet how many of us have since grown and turned our lives around and are better for it?

The attacks on Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth smack of a witch hunt and are nothing but the political persecution of Brett Kavanaugh all over again. Mr. Hegseth has an excellent military record, having served his country with valor and pride. Mr. Hegseth loves America and puts it first, even oftentimes displaying his affection and dedication visually with patriotic attire. He is one well-dressed man.

It’s time to end the persecution against Mr. Hegseth and confirm him as defense secretary. Pete Hegseth will not let America down.
