Hegseth Makes Handling Questions — Even The Loaded Ones — Look Easy
And that's exactly how it's done, folks.
The media are desperate to find themselves a scandal — ANY scandal — they can leverage to start undercutting Trump’s popularity and the speed at which his agenda is going forward.
As exchanges like this one prove… those attempts are going nowhere.
The same press that didn’t bat an eye when Team Biden cleaned house from the Trump administration and appointed a rogues’ gallery of 3rd-tier Obama holdovers and freaks to plum positions in that administration.
But every appointment under Trump, and every firing is met with talking heads clutching their pearls and hoping beyond home that THIS one is the announcement that will rise to the level of scandal.
You can hear it in the first question in this clip, which SecDef Hegseth treats with exactly the degree of interest and respect that the one who asked it deserves.
After that are some more sincere questions, and you can see the difference in how he handles those ones.
