New Scandal: Pete Hegseth Visited The 9/11 Memorial In His Underwear

Posted • December 6, 2024: The Democrats in the media have run the usual playbook against Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for Defense Secretary.

It's not. She also defamed Hegseth for getting kicked out of Concerned Veterans for America, which has been debunked by the organization. (…)
