The Establishment’s Target: Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth
It appears that the entrenched power players in Washington, D.C., have set their crosshairs on Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. Their vigorous attempts to oust him serve as the clearest indication that he may very well be the right man for the job, despite their objections.
has reported on this unfolding saga:
Rep. Don Bacon (RINO-NE), who seems to be singing from the Democrats’ hymn sheet, has publicly urged President Trump to dismiss Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. His call for action is based on a discredited report from the New York Times.
Bacon, a former Air Force general and current chair of a cybersecurity subcommittee, unleashed a media-friendly diatribe on Monday, questioning Hegseth’s qualifications and reiterating a debunked claim from the NYT that suggested Hegseth utilized the private Signal app to discuss classified military operations in Yemen with his family.
In response to these recent attacks, the White House has expressed its support for Hegseth, as reported by the Gateway Pundit:
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed on Monday that President Donald Trump “stands firmly behind” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, despite a New York Times article citing unnamed sources who alleged that he again shared sensitive information in a Signal group chat.
As previously reported by , the Pentagon has categorically denied the newspaper’s allegations. Chief Spokesman Sean Parnell dismissed the story as “fake news” fueled by disgruntled former employees.
“Another day, another resurrected story. The media, which is often hostile to Trump, seems determined to undermine anyone aligned with his agenda,” Parnell stated. “This time, the New York Times—and all other outlets regurgitating their nonsense—are eagerly taking the complaints of disgruntled ex-employees as their primary sources. They have relied solely on the words of individuals who were recently dismissed and who may have motives to derail the Secretary and the President’s objectives.”
The article alleged that Hegseth included his wife, personal lawyer, and brother in a sensitive discussion about planned strikes in Yemen.
The more the establishment escalates their attacks, the more they validate the notion that Hegseth is indeed a formidable figure in this role. It has been quite some time since America has been graced with someone so well-suited for this position, and the relentless efforts to revert back to the status quo suggest a deep-seated resistance to change.
