Pete Hegseth Spits Straight-FIRE Shutting Down Fake News Media for Latest Leaker Hit Piece (Watch) – Twitchy

Pete Hegseth addressed the latest hit piece from his pals in the lamestream media, sourced by a ‘bunch of leakers’ who managed to get themselves fired.

Luckily, Hegseth isn’t having any of it and had this to say:

“This is what the media does. They take anonymous sources from disgruntled former employees, and then they try to slash and burn people and ruin their reputations. Not going to work with me.”

“We’re changing the Defense Department, putting the Pentagon back in the hands of warfighters — and anonymous smears from disgruntled former employees on old news doesn’t matter.”

‘Not going to work with me.’ 

So stick that in your pipe and smoke it!

The media loves pushing agendas. If stories rely on anonymous leaks, it’s hard to trust them. Transparency and facts matter, not hidden sources with motives.

This is exactly what is going on. They lie and give the Dems talking points and then the story disappears. Pull their license.
