Disgraceful response. They never take responsibility. Pete Hegseth put our national security at risk. He is completely unfit to lead.

Reporter: Can you share how your information about war plans was shared with a journalist? Hegseth: So you are talking about a deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist who has made a profession of peddling hoaxes

He cannot even contain his rage. He throws around what about isms and does not answer the question. He does not present as a emotionally stable person that should be in such a high level position.

Every “answer” to valid questions about wtf is going on in our government is just (false) character attacks on those asking, you can not like whose asking but you still owe the people a fucking answer Pete.

His body language says a lot. The words are nothing short of manipulation/gaslighting and lack of accountability. Even though he admits to the attack which was stated in text messages for *all* to see. Similar reaction to a cheater getting caught with naughty txts on their phone. Body language too.

Nobody will sack him unless we do. For this and so many other things - impeach and begin the long process of reform. All Americans need to demand an end to this mockery of our ideals. This administration is disastrous.

Republicans control congress. They are a spineless and dishonorable cult that says and does whatever their dear leader tells them to. If they didn't impeach traitor trump for his blatant SEDITION, they sure won't do it now. Voting Republicans out of power everywhere is the only real remedy.

Never gonna happen...sorry. Do you not know Republicans yet?!? 😂🤣😂 They will lie, cheat, steal, and dive head-first into an actual civil war before either admitting wrong or ceding power. All they have to do is blame a journalist, a democrat, or literally anyone else...and their cult will 🐑 along.

Give him a break. Haven't you ever been hungover and in charge of the greatest military force this planet has ever seen? It's not easy. I was an E4 medic, and I had tons of hangovers in formation, I wasn't ready to answer hard questions either...

I worked for a financial institution for 20+ years and I know with a doubt that I would have been fired if I had accidentally leaked an account number. We are talking about the national security of our entire country! He should be fired for his lack of competence, period!! No excuse for what he did.

/2 This egregious incompetence at the very top logically assumes that everyone underneath his command may exhibit the same failure of the standard. As a leader, you are responsible for those you lead. Every success or failure of the mission is a direct result of the leadership.

It's really astonishing, revolting, and infuriating. If this is their Modus Operandi, ALL our national secrets will be compromised before long. It makes me unbelievably mad that all the protocols and procedures established from failures, paid for by the blood of patriots and they dgaf... 🤬

I was in the Army for 5 years and held a TS clearance the entire time. This is WAY beyond worse than that... and the overarching implication is that they are actively hiding comms that belong to us. We only have to look to Teixeira and his Discord leak for how that goes for any lower enlisted. 1/2

I liked the 'I don't know, I didn't sign it, but Marco Rubio wanted it and is doing a great job, but I don't know anything about it' comment....could he throw Rubio (or anyone for that matter) under the bus any more clumsily?

This is absolutely horrible, disgraceful and infuriating! 😡The lack of integrity, qualifications and leadership of the trump administration is beyond comprehension.💯🤮 If we don’t laugh, we’ll cry… so the “Drunk” texting takes it to a WHOLE OTHER LEVEL!🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂‼️‼️‼️🍻🥃📲📵🤣

This person can't even open a bottle of alcohol right but yet he wants to blame a journalist for his irresponsible behavior He has no business being in this position. And while we're at it maybe we should see his tattoos. send him to El Salvador

What Trump's DUI hire Hegseth has done is a MUCH worse Natl. Security Threat than Clinton's emails. Hegseth would be tossed in Jail with any other admin than the fully corrupt Putin/Trump/Musk/GOP. Yet, we all know that since corrupt Putin/Trump/GOP have a "trifecta" in DC there will be no hearings.

Hegseth: “So you’re talking about a deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist who has made a profession of peddling hoaxes … “… and who was confirmed by the Senate to be Secretary of Defense. “That’s how top secret war plans were leaked. End of story.”

This is the total crap they peddle all the time. It’s never them being fuck ups it’s always some bad journalist or some bad judge. They can’t even fathom admiring responsibility. They re fuck ups. And it’s endangering our country.

He’s totally unfit to lead. Is this the behavior of a stand-up, take responsibility, “the buck stops here” kind of guy? Can you imagine such a response given by, let’s say, Admiral William McRaven?? Trump chose him because he appeared on Fox, and he “looked” the part, as if THAT tells you anything.

The Dic. learned his lessons well from Putin, lie, deny, blame, and take no responsibility. His own strategy is take credit for anything good that has happened in his lifetime, and if he was in control anything bad would not have happened. His asshole attitude.

We all knew the Trump admin was corrupt to the core, but to see the depth of their ignorance, ineptitude & malice unvarnished along with the total disdain for US allies & the safety of the men & women of the US military is truly remarkable. There remains ZERO doubt-NATO needs to show the 🇺🇸 the door

it's a completely trumpian response. Therefore: - shitstream media will treat it as legitimate - republicans will support and defend it - all MAGAts will attack democrats as doing the same or worse

Terrifying level of incompetence. Every reporter should ask each admin secretary “How many Signal text chains are you on to conduct government business while skirting numerous federal laws?” “Are you convinced that Signal is more secure than US Government secure communications systems?”

Is America not tired of this same old response? Like when are these clowns going to be held accountable! My question isn’t only, what does Putin have on Trump it is also what does Trump have on the Republicans Senators and congress? Somebody get a backbone and get rid of this clown show!

Disgraceful is not strong enough. This is malfeasance & high crimes against our country. Every person who was involved should be fired immediately and investigated on criminal charges. Trump should be investigated and impeached. Does our Congress accept this? We may not make it through this year.

He wasn’t qualified in the first place. Perhaps instead of removing experienced folks from websites claiming DEI, they should’ve tried to learn from them as they were very well qualified!

So is the journalist lying? The journalist actually wasn’t given access? Were you or were you not coordinating a military operation (coordinating is too kind) on a non classified platform? I don’t care who the journalist is or what their ethics are. Did this happen or not? We know the answer.

So, let the Atlantic release the entire thread. When the Nazis lock him up for divulging classified information, what will they say then. These people make me sick. And I'm tired of being sick. We know where this is going.

Amazing how they never answer a question. When they do that, the next journalist should ask it again, then the next, then the next, then the next. Teamwork amongst the media is needed. Leavitt's default setting of condescension and disdain would make fascinating viewing.

The sad part is he didn't even spin it. He just attacked the journalists' character and integrity to deflect. Even more disgusting when he was incidentally added, and he's the one who DID observe OPSEC... 🫣🙄🤬🤮
