The White House is looking to replace Pete Hegseth as defense secretary

[JohnDB]

The last time NPR broke a news story was......
NEVER. Has never happened, will never happen because they got their funding pulled.

It's a fictional story.

And the unnamed sources?
Two guys close to Hegseth just got escorted out of the Pentagon last week....

I think it's petty BS that is just getting floated around.

Did you have to translate that, or did the Russians tell you what to say in English?

There was no civil war in Ukraine. Russian troops constituted the entirety of the “Russian separatists”, and the Russian military operated in command olf the “civil war”.

When the Russians finally invaded, no Ukranian rode up to welcome their “liberators”.

Trump did not stand up to anyone. He kowtowed to Putin at every opportunity.

Just recounting history of what actually happened. I worked for NATO at the time, so we were well aware of what was going on.

You just cannot accept reality and history of what happened, so you have to manufacture your fake narrative talking points handed to you from the mainstream media which is bought and paid for by the Establishment warmongers.

Trump apparently supports Hegseth. It's the taxpayer funded liberal biased media source, NPR, that wants to disrupt Trump's agenda.

The democrat way. If you scream long enough and loud enough, your lie will become the truth.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Now for some facts....

Today, the Trump administration strongly refuted the latest NPR allegation as fake news.

That's from the white house.

Are you telling us that you think Biden should have sent troops to Ukraine?

I never had such authority but my opinion stands that Biden slow walked military help to Ukraine creating favorable conditions for Putin to attempt to win.

 

[TimFitz]

Lots of stories get refuted by this administration, yet they somehow seem to have truth to them in the end.

Trump rarely refutes anything.

He just attacks, belittles, and denounces.

Refuted means that the person doing the refuting has facts on their side.

Trump just makes it up. And the more obviously the lie, the greater the noise.

No. Congress under constant harassment by Trump slow walked it. Trump works for Putin, and bullying the GOP to sit on Ukranian aid served Putin’s interests.

Fox news introduced Hegseth as former secretary, so perhaps they know he is on his way out.

LOL. Kilmeade is an idiot, always has been. But at least he's not as bad as Biden was.

Hegseth still is the Secretary of Defense.

 

[Synthaholic]

Replace him? After he's already hired the makeup people???

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Hegseth still is the Secretary of Defense.

And the hair and makeup studio is another lie.

“The White House has begun the process of looking for a new secretary of defense, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly.

NPR has reached out to the White House for comment.

This comes as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth continues to find himself mired in controversy. NPR has also confirmed with the same official that Hegseth shared details ahead of last month's Yemen strikes with his wife and brother in a Signal chat on his personal phone, minutes after being updated by a senior U.S. military official. The news of the second Signal group chat about the mission was first reported by The New York Times.

In March, Hegseth shared details about action against Houthi targets in Yemen in a Signal chat with top White House officials that accidentally included a journalist.”

The question is replaced with whom – another incompetent sycophant like Hegseth.

This fiasco is further proof of the incompetence of Trump and the entire ‘administration.’

Hey, do you remember when you thought Pete was getting fired? Your predicitons NEVER come true. You are truly awful when it comes to predictions. It makes me laugh every time.

Whiskey Pete is going.

People are now referring to Pete Hegseth as “WhiskeyLeaks”

Here it July and EVERYONE in the Trump administration is happy with Pete Hegseth....he has had TWO successful run ins with enemies and been absolutely successful each time. Glowing results each time.

So....despite the DEMOCRAT rhetoric calls for his ouster....he seems intent upon staying and doing a good job.
