Another week brings with it more media and Democrat hyperventilating about Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth by way of either anonymous sources or people who were fired from their Pentagon jobs.
This new batch of hit pieces helps provide the Dems with more talking points (which is their purpose). Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell has already tossed the latest round of stories into the fake news shredder:
Another day, another old story—back from the dead. The Trump-hating media continues to be obsessed with destroying anyone committed to President Trump’s agenda. This time, the New York Times — and all other Fake News that repeat their garbage — are enthusiastically taking the grievances of disgruntled former employees as the sole sources for their article. They relied only on the words of people who were fired this week and appear to have a motive to sabotage the Secretary and the President's agenda.
There was no classified information in any Signal chat, no matter how many ways they try to write the story. What is true is that the Office of the Secretary of Defense is continuing to become stronger and more efficient in executing President Trump's agenda.
We’ve already achieved so much for the American warfighter, and will never back down.
Hegseth had this to say about the kinds of stories that'll be churned out on a weekly basis by lib media and desperate Dems:
Pete Hegseth shuts down the fake news media:

"What a big surprise that a bunch of leakers get fired and suddenly a bunch of hit pieces come out from the same media that peddled the Russia hoax."
"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."
But the Dems have a fairly recycled "fake news" talking point.
Lyin' Chuck Schumer is among the Dems calling for Hegseth to be fired... again:
The details keep coming out. We keep learning how Pete Hegseth put lives at risk. But Trump is still too weak to fire him.

Pete Hegseth must be fired.
Do these horrible people really think we all forgot about the last several years?
You guys lost any right to speak to any of this when people started falling to their deaths from C-17s and Americans were blown up for an attempted photo-op.

You had a chance to call for resignations and didn’t. So sit down and let those with some credibility left handle this. https://t.co/qsIBsYNJm1
Want to know what "puts lives at risk," Chuck? Having a president in such bad condition that we still have no idea who was actually running the show. Oh, and an intentionally open southern border got many, many Americans killed.
Schumer is shameless.
Spare us the pearl-clutching, Chuck. https://t.co/A1Z07J3l81 pic.twitter.com/7vduuObAr7

These pathetic lefties have cried wolf so much that nobody even bothers to look up anymore.
Every scheme the lapdog press & Democrats (BIRM) come up with to get RIF of Hegseth is more pathetic than the last. No one who matters believes you anymore.

You guys didn’t fire Austin although he went AWOL and nobody knew. Spare us.

There was ZERO accountability with the last administration. It's too bad there aren't enough voters in New York who have so far been willing to fire Schumer.
