Greg Kelly Calls for Hegseth to Drop Out, Backs DeSantis
NEWSMAX ^ | December 5, 2024 | By Sandy Fitzgerald

Posted on 12/06/2024 9:53:46 AM PST by KeyLargo

Greg Kelly Calls for Hegseth to Drop Out, Backs DeSantis By Sandy Fitzgerald Pete Hegseth, defense secretary nominee, has "serious baggage" and is not the right pick, while Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is the "perfect fit" that President-elect Donald Trump needs, Newsmax's Greg Kelly said.

"No one's perfect, but it's a perfect fit," Kelly said Wednesday on his program, "Greg Kelly Reports," about Florida's Republican governor. "Administrating the Pentagon, the biggest federal bureaucracy, and making it lethal again and not woke and all those things. I think it's a perfect fit."

Kelly said he did not support DeSantis' run for the presidency this year, "but he's been a very good governor of Florida." "When you're the governor of Florida, you're responsible for a lot of things," said Kelly. "That is the kind of resume that really qualifies you to run the Pentagon. ... I think DeSantis, if the opportunity becomes available, and I think it's going to very soon, he should take it because he's not good at running for president."

He is the son of a former NYC Police Commissioner who parleyed that into being hired at Fox News when he was a little bit relevant and when his sale by date passed he made it to NewsMax.

Not relevant. Combat experience and administrative ability are two different things.

Desantis has no interest in the job .
Its a trap by the Leftist to keep him from running in 2028 and Vance people to trap him too .
Its a demotion .
The children still name calling here the Best Gop Gov in the country need to go back to the basement .

Your statement is not correct newsmax is much more uniformly supportive of Trump versus fox which often goes the rino route.

I like Kelly but disagree with him on this.

It’s jealousy pure and simple

That old 'Drunken Christmas Party' "you'll never amount to anything" coming back to haunt Kelly?

How long before Greg Kelly has Joni Ernst on his show.

She wants the job of Sec Def.

“I’ve known Pete for a very long time,” Ernst said of Hegseth, a former Fox News host and decorated veteran, adding, “I really appreciated the time that he took to sit down with me and walk through a number of issues.” The senator described the conversation as “thorough” and the nominee as “very forthcoming.” A sexual assault survivor, she confirmed that the two discussed the misconduct allegations during their 45-minute sit-down.”

Jan. 26, 2011— -- The woman who accused New York TV morning show anchor Greg Kelly of raping her told investigators the assault left her pregnant, sources told ABC News.

Kelly choose not to drop out.

Yes, Deep State does not want Pete Hegseth.
Every day another Leftist smear against Pete appears in the Legacy media.

SNIVELING Weasel Brian Stelter TORCHED for Pretending He’s Relevant in Ugly Thread Smearing Pete Hegseth

Twitchy
Remember when CNN fired Brian Stelter?

We’re still trying to figure out why they brought him back but it is CNN we’re talking about so ... eh.

Seems ol’ Bri thinks he has some relevant info he wants to share about Pete Hegseth that was so important back in 2020 that he did NOT include it in his lame, crappy book.

Take a look:https://twitchy.com/samj/2024/12/06/brian-stelter-mea-culpa-thread-pete-hegseth-n2404754

"Desantis has no interest in the job ."

Good, because the only position he ever held in the Navy was as a JAG lawyer for the government.

Kelly tries to address that in his Newsmax report - the sexual allegation against himself during his smear of Pete Hegseth.

Cable news networks have NO redeeming service to the common good other than providing Trump with America First patriots to fill posts in his administration.

And to that I’m grateful.

I have NO DOUBT Pete Hegseth is the BEST man for doing the job that MUST be done.

I’ve never watched Newsmax.

I believe it was founded by Chris Ruddy who exploited the crimes of the Clintons into profit with little regard with the truth.

This forum was founded on the many crimes of the Clintons and Ruddy was a SELLOUT to those of us in the informed by all the credible info provided on this forum.

In my view Kelly’s comments just provide proof Newsmax is selling out to the Deep State globalists who want to see a little puppet with lifts in his shoes make sure the Neocons survive the next four year of a Trump Administration.
