Like clockwork, every time Mr. Trump nominates another person to his administration, the media publishes a long list of allegations attached to that candidate in an attempt to discredit him from the position for which he was nominated. do. The smear campaign against Matt Gaetz was enough for him to withdraw his name. And now Pentagon candidate Pete Hegseth has his name relentlessly drugged.
“Pete Hegseth is a destroyer, and Pete is under horrible attacks because he is a destroyer and threatens to destroy the military-industrial complex itself,” Liz Wheeler said, adding that these attacks are do not have It is related to “the policies he wants to implement at the Pentagon” and not “his political positions.”
These are “character assassinations and reputational stains,” Liz says.
The media has even included Hegseth's own mother in their mission to slander Hegseth's name. Recently, the New York Times ran a hit article featuring emails Pete received from his mother, Penelope, accusing him of promiscuity.
“This happened many years ago when Pete was going through a bad divorce, and his mother texted him to stop having sleepovers. She said, 'You don't want to be a woman. I'm not proud of my son's behavior, even though he's so mean to me.'' Hegseth's mother has since had to do damage control to remove her son's negative influence. He added that it was gone. name.
How the news organization obtained this communication is itself questionable.
But beyond that, the fact of the matter is that Pete Hegseth's romantic past, no matter how immoral, does not affect his ability to do his job.
“I don't agree with Pete lying around, and I think a lot of people probably don't,” says Liz. “Will it affect his ability to do his job at the Department of Defense? Absolutely not.”
But perhaps the media knows that past promiscuity alone is not enough to tarnish his name, because now a new angle of attack has been developed.
“The latest attack on Pete Hegseth is that he shows up to work at Fox drunk,” Liz says, noting, among other things, that it's based on “10 anonymous sources who refused to show up to work.” Considering this, he calls the allegations a “rudimentary character assassination.'' “It will be on record,” the statement said.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (RS.C.) said the allegations against Pete Hegseth were “very disturbing” and that his confirmation in the Senate “will be difficult.”
“Do you think Lindsey Graham is actually upset by these allegations, or is Lindsey Graham upset by the fact that Pete Hegseth thinks the war that Lindsey Graham is profiting from should end? Are you upset?” asks Liz. “Lindsey Graham never went to a war he didn't like.”
However, there was a third attack on Pete Hegseth.
“There are reports that President Trump is considering dropping Pete Hegseth and replacing him with Ron DeSantis,” Liz says.
However, Federalist co-founder and CEO Sean Davis spoke with officials from the Trump transition team about these rumors and said the entire story is “complete nonsense.” It is said that he was killed.
“There are reports (if you want to call it rumors) of this kind of story being planted by RINO senators” — like Joni Ernst, who “want to be Secretary of Defense herself.” “Neocons,” Liz says.
“I have a message today for all the despicable lying sycophants who are throwing fake hatchets at Pete Hegseth and Kash Patel: the sleeping giant we awakened when we weaponized our government and targeted us. You guys don't understand at all… If you think we're going to flip over President Trump's nominees with baseless anonymous fake news and slimy character assassinations, you're completely delusional in this fight. That’s what I was born to do,” says Liz.
