The smears against Trump’s Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth keep coming.
But each report is being met with plenty of pushback.
Now the Fox News host is speaking out.
Pete sat down with Megyn Kelly and discussed everything from the allegations against him to his conversations with Donald Trump.
President-elect Trump announced his nomination of Hegseth on November 12th. Read his full statement here:
| STATEMENT FROM PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP |
| I am honored to announce that I have nominated Pete Hegseth to serve in my Cabinet as The Secretary of Defense. Pete has spent his entire life as a Warrior for the Troops, and for the Country. Pete is tough, smart and a true believer in America First. With Pete at the helm, America’s enemies are on notice – Our Military will be Great Again, and America will Never Back Down. Pete is a graduate of Princeton University, and has a Graduate Degree from Harvard University. He is an Army Combat Veteran who did tours in Guantanamo Bay, Iraq, and Afghanistan. For his actions on the battlefield, he was decorated with two Bronze Stars, as well as a Combat Infantryman’s Badge. Pete has been a host at FOX News for eight years, where he used that platform to fight for our Military and Veterans. Pete’s recent book, “The War on Warriors,” spent nine weeks on the New York Times best-sellers list, including two weeks at NUMBER ONE. The book reveals the leftwing betrayal of our Warriors, and how we must return our Military to meritocracy, lethality, accountability, and excellence. Petehas also led two Veterans Advocacy organizations, leading the fight for our Warriors, and our great Veterans. Nobody fights harder for the Troops, and Petewill be a courageous and patriotic champion of our “Peace through Strength” policy. |
