Raw Story: 'So pathetic': CNN's Cardona laughs at MAGA apologist's advice to Pete Hegseth [View all]
Raw Story - 'So pathetic': CNN's Cardona laughs at MAGA apologist's advice to Pete Hegseth

CNN's Alison Cardona laughed out loud at advice offered to embattled defense secretary Pete Hegseth by conservative commentator Shermichael Singleton.
The Signalgate scandal flared up again after new revelations about a second group chat involving war plans in a non-secure setting, and Singleton told "CNN News Central" that national security adviser Mike Waltz had already accepted responsibility for adding a journalist to the first group chat, and he urged Hegseth to do the same for inviting his wife, brother and personal attorney to another.
"If the acknowledgment is one step, how are you going to clean this up?" Singleton said. "How are you going to have efficiencies in terms of communications of classified information about the Signal group chat with his wife and his brother?"
Host John Berman asked whether Hegseth has ever acknowledged those group chats had been a mistake, and Singleton dismissed the question as ridiculous.
