Today, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth worked out with the troops in San Diego. That city is of course one of the places the Democrats are trying to convince everybody that President Trump is trying to get Iran to hit with a nuke.
Hegseth was in San Diego working out with U.S. servicemembers, and a series of videos are now available. Predictably, the ironman triathlete and decathlete keyboard warriors on the Left have decided those videos were mockworthy.
We won't subject you to the full TDS lunacy about Hegseth working out with the troops under him, but these examples will do.

Where’s Pete? Oh there he is.

"FactPost" is an account run by the DNC, so maybe they can send Talarico to show Hegseth how running with the troops, lifting weights and calisthenics should be done.
@TheTNHoller Can you run? Or are you pointing out that the mid-40’s side doesn’t run as fast as the 20 something’s?

@factpostnews Most physically in shape, motivating, and upholding of the standards SecWar I've ever seen. He's 46 years old, running with teenagers and early twenty-something Devil Dogs. But yeah...you do you bro.

STFU! You're out of breath after running to the fridge

We can't help but wonder how many of the people trying to mock Hegseth would have passed out after 50 yards (or less).
Let us know when you get your ass out there and run with them. :)

Not gonna happen!
Remember when Hegseth's predecessor used to routinely work out with the troops and totally keep up with them? Neither do we.
@factpostnews Yeah, we'll take Pete running all day over this clown https://t.co/8spPQWv9wA

Lloyd Austin spent a week in the hospital and nobody even had any idea he was gone…
