Pete Hegseth ranted furiously against anyone who dares question the word of his beloved president – 17 totally on-point responses
In Donald Trump’s cabinet of no talents, we reckon Pete Hegseth might be the no-talentest of them all.
We say this after the secretary of defence launched a furious rant against anyone who dare question his beloved commander-in-chief’s word that the bombing raid on Iran wasn’t a complete and utter success.
Not everyone thinks so – including leaked reports from America’s own intelligence services, you’ll remember – but Hegseth was having none of it.
And while we might be guilty of saying jaw-dropper too often, this one is a proper jaw-dropper.
Hegseth: So if you want to make an assessment of what happened.. you better get a big shovel and go really deep because Iran’s nuclear program is obliterated pic.twitter.com/o4ZLRuPOHL

This loud, angry, bombastic reply from the Fox News drunk to a question from a reporter might play to teumpers, but it comes off as unnecessarily defensive, like he’s had one scotch too many. pic.twitter.com/gJIiZ5xeFG

Trump and Hegseth are sadly mistaken if they think this gaslighting and press belittling is working on the world stage. It may work in the USA with Trumps base, however, the rest of the world is too smart to believe the lies and gaslighting.

It’s a really, really horrific Reality TV show with a shitty script.

Republican men are too emotional to lead effectively. https://t.co/v2bt6Sl61d

Here’s the thing about bullies like Trump & Hegseth: They’re cowards. To avoid having to answer a tough question, they instead hide behind our troops. Instead of having the courage to answer a tough question, they exploit our troops. Trump & Hegseth are cowards. https://t.co/GkOVDrVmeF

Europe’s not buying his schtick. Most Americans aren’t either.
Truth is the first casualty of war. Always.
And especially with this guy as SecDef.
And the nasty and insulting way he talks to people is ridiculous—and an embarrassment to all Americans. https://t.co/YLhvptZEmG

It’s pretty gross for the political hacks running DOD to claim that people are blaming the pilots. We are saying YOU ARE LYING, we are not saying anything about pilots. TRUMP & HEGSETH are the one shifting the blame game onto pilots for their lies and deception, nobody else. pic.twitter.com/m6vckAlpQ1
