In a speech on the Senate flooring this week, Senator Invoice Hagerty of Tennessee slammed the left wing media for his or her false smear marketing campaign towards Protection Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth.
Holding up a replica of the New York Occasions, Hagerty identified how the headline of a current smear story doesn’t even match what’s reported within the precise story.
It has been clear for weeks that Democrats and the media wish to derail Hegseth’s nomination. They are not looking for him on this job and so they don’t need Trump to prevail on this combat.

In his Senate flooring speech, Hagerty highlighted how The New York Occasions article on the non-troversy declined to say Samantha’s denial in its headline and the way readers should learn greater than a dozen paragraphs into the story to be taught the reality.
“This isn’t journalism. … This can be a hit-job,” Hagerty stated. “The New York Occasions deliberately ran with a salacious and debunked account, buried the reality, and distorted the lede merely to undermine President Trump and his nominee.”
Right here’s the video:
HOLY SMOKES: Sen. Invoice Hagerty simply went scorched earth on the Dem/legacy media coordinated smear marketing campaign on Hegseth:
“The American persons are sick and bored with the deception stemming from this alliance between the Democrat Celebration and the so-called mainstream media.”
