One can identify individuals whom the establishment fears simply by paying attention to those whom the establishment media attacks.
Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for secretary of defense, seems to have learned how to handle the lying media.
Wednesday morning on the social media platform X, Hegseth posted his letter of acceptance to the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, as a preemptive rebuttal to what he described as a forthcoming hit piece from a leftist news outlet.
“We understand that ProPublica (the Left Wing hack group) is planning to publish a knowingly false report that I was not accepted to West Point in 1999,” Hegseth wrote.
“Here’s my letter of acceptance signed by West Point Superintendent, Lieutenant General Daniel Christman, US Army,” he added.

Meanwhile, Hegseth himself has followed Trump’s example by refusing to back down from the hostile media.

He should’ve waited for the lie and sue them.
Exactly!
He was too kind.....
He should have waited until the hit piece hit the airwaves and then shove the letter down their collective throats, or up some other ......
At least Pete Hegseth has distracted them from gushing over the New [Valiant Rebel Head Chopper] Syria Terrorists, Same As The Old Syria Terrorists...
Hmmm ... opinions vary, of course, but preemptively pulling the rug out from under them is kinda cool ...
1) He calls them out as liars ...
2) Now they have to wonder where are the leaks in their system.
BTTT
Hard to sue given that he is a public figure.
He should’ve waited for the lie and sue them.Nope.
He’s trying to get confirmed, not win lawsuits.
We need this man. He fights.
Both literally, and figuratively.
Always better to be on offense.
Pete makes it look like he had good intel and they have a leaker.
Exactly. Stop the lies before they happen.
This is why Pete and others NEED to be confirmed, its time to CLEAN HOUSE from top to bottom, every govt group, organization, service has been overrun with left wing kooks
No, Pete did the right thing, had the hit piece appeared the commie media would NEVER have issued a retraction so people would think that Pete lied
… refusing to back down from the hostile media.…
Precisely why the GWB presidency was/is a failure.
If military, send them to Leavenworth while awaiting trial. If civilian, send them to Boston and ship them back to England.
Problem with waiting is that too many people will only remember the attack and not read the rebuttal, so the lie will stay out there.
I forsee a bunch of witch hunts at ProPublica.
