CIA Director Ratcliffe DESTROYS House Dem For Repeating Lie That Pete Hegseth Was Drinking In Europe

Posted • March 26, 2025: If there's one thing we know about Democrats, it's that they have never met a lie that they couldn't beat into submission longer than any dead horse. A little over a month ago, 'journalist' Matthew Yglesias found the scoop of the century when he spotted Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth drinking 'bourbon' at a podium while speaking in Europe. There was only one problem with Yglesias's investigative journalism. Hegseth was drinking a glass of water. Oops. But that didn't stop leftists all over Twitter from repeating the lie. At a House hearing today, however, California Rep. Jimmy Gomez went way beyond the pale, proving that Democrats truly have no integrity at all. First, he asked DNI Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe if Hegseth was drunk when he 'released classified information' in a Signal chat. (Spoiler alert: No classified information was released in that chat.)

Gabbard politely declined to answer, but you could see the disgust on her face at the question. Ratcliffe, on the other hand, was not so demure. He absolutely lit Gomez up for asking such an offensive question. The worst part of the exchange is that after cowardly refusing to let Ratcliffe answer and 'reclaiming his time,' Gomez used the remainder of that time to repeat the long-debunked lie that Hegseth was drinking alcohol while speaking in Europe in February. They really do not have a single ounce of shame or self-awareness, and Gomez deserved every second of the rebuffing he received from Ratcliffe. And then some. There's no level that Dems won't sink to. This is disgusting and irresponsible. (…)
