Hegseth flees to Fox News to whine about his latest troubles

After a scandal-plagued 88 days on the job, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth ran to the friendly confines of Fox News on Tuesday morning to plead his case.

Speaking to “Fox & Friends” co-host and devoted President Donald Trump fan Brian Kilmeade, Hegseth blamed his mistake-filled time in office on “the deep state.”

Asked by Kilmeade if “deep-state forces” were coming after him, Hegseth agreed and said, “They’ve been after me from Day One just like they’ve come after President Trump.”

Hegseth went on to argue that he was put in office to support war-fighters and to “get rid of trans lunacy in the military.”

Responsibility doesn’t apply to us. The deep state is after me. Why damnit, why? What have I done wrong? Pete’s missing a great opportunity. He could resign, go back to drinking heavily, lying on fox and have someone ghost write his SECDEF memoirs. I guess he just wants to finish the job Putin started.
