This is exactly the kind of man who has an alcohol problem, impregnate a woman while he's married to another woman, has to have his photos vetted in a time of war. Has zero, zero empathy and needs to be removed. Dismiss him immediately. Pete Hegseth dismisses deadly plane crash that killed 4 Americans as “bad things happen” and then spends his press conference attacking the media for refusing to be his cheerleaders! Pete Hegseth has taken a leaf from his fellow rapist Donald Trump’s book and has now become obsessed with trashing the media for reporting the truth: that this war against Iran is not going well, they didn’t have contingency plans, and American casualties are piling up faster than they’re willing to admit. During today’s Pentagon briefing, which featured no photographers as punishment for taking bad photos of the Secretary of War Crimes, Hegseth barely addressed the shocking destruction of a KC-135 tanker plane that killed at least four and possibly six Americans that the Iraqi resistance said they shot down, breezing past it with a “bad things happen”. He didn't manage to say it was one American plane running into the other American plane. The geniuses. Instead, he whined and bitched about the media for not being the administration’s personal cheerleaders. “Yet some in this crew, in the press, just can't stop. Allow me to make a few suggestions. People look up at the TV and they see banners, they see headlines. I used to be in that business. And I know that everything is intentionally. For example, a banner or a headline. Mideast war intensifies, splashing on the screen the last couple of days, alongside visuals of civilian or energy targets that Iran has hit because that's what they do.” “What should the banner read instead? How about Iran increasingly desperate? Because they are. They know it and so do you, if it can be admitted. Or more fake news from CNN. Reports that the Trump administration underestimated the impact of the Iran War’s on the Strait of Hormuz. Patently ridiculous, of course. For decades, Iran has threatened shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.” “This is always what they do, hold the straight hostage. CNN doesn't think we thought of that. It's a fundamentally unserious report. The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better. Another example of a fake headline that I saw yesterday: "War Widening.” Here's a real headline for you for an actual patriotic press. How about Iran shrinking, going underground?” “You see Iran's leaders are hiding in bunkers and moving into civilian areas. The only thing that is widening is our advantage. Not to mention our Gulf partners stepping up even more now going on the offense.” None of this is true. Iran’s President Mahmoud Pezeshkian was filmed walking through the streets of Tehran today, as was the foreign minister, along with a crowd of thousands of furious Iranians united against the American Epstein regime as they celebrate the end of Ramadan. The only people who are getting more desperate are Trump and Pete Hegseth as it becomes painfully clear they had NO plans for the closing of the strait, completely underestimated the Iranian response, and have no idea what to do now that they’ve cut themselves off from any off-ramps. So, of course, they resort to yelling at the media for reporting the truth. Cowards and clowns. They made the United States look like a circus.
