But she had Pete Hegseth on right around the time that he had ordered this sort of no-survivors strike.

Will Sommer: Conspiracy Theorists Are Behind the Wheel in the Republican Party

I don't think she asked about that.

So she's getting these, I think, what would be interesting guests, but they're sort of using her to launder to have a nice sit-down about when are they going to get engaged.

And so now he's running for governor of Florida and a lot of his critics have been making that Epstein comparison.

The Bulwark Podcast
Will Sommer: Conspiracy Theorists Are Behind the Wheel in the Republican Party

Again, he denies it.
