What a big surprise that a few leakers get fired and suddenly a bunch of hit pieces come out!

They take anonymous sources from disgruntled former employees, and then they try to slash and burn people and ruin their reputations.

NOT going to work with me, because we're changing the Defense Department, putting the Pentagon back in the hands of war fighters and anonymous smears from disgruntled former employees on old news doesn't matter.

The damned lefties are stuck in their old way of thinking and “tricks”, which is NOT going to work on MAGA people of ALL ages, races, and class.

“BERSERK”

I’m so tired of clickbait buzzwords.

Thanks for posting, btw. Good for Hegseth.

Deep state still operating the 50+ year old 1972 playbook against Nixon - use fake media to create a firestorm of headlines, in the hope they can separate spineless GOP goobers from the heard.

Granted, it even worked in Trump 1 administration

Not any more.

Well, Don Bacon (R) - Nebraska is out calling for Pete to be replaced.... so there’s that.

Doesnt look “berserk”, looks like calmly griped, aimed, exhaled, then squeezed.

So far, he’s been holding his own in primaries, and barely beating the D challenger. It is not a good situation.

I saw and heard what Pete had to say at the Easter Egg Roll.

He was well-spoken and calm. He certainly did not go “berserk.”

The more the left loses their collective minds over him, the better choice it turns out trump made in picking him.

Same with Homan.

I wish I could say that of all Trump’s picks that we had such high hopes for.

It already is working because they’ve managed to bait and hook RINO Rep. Don Bacon earlier today.

They must have a different definition of “berserk” than I do.

I saw the report. The Beta Bro is clueless on the definition of “BERSERK”. The Nebraska Beta Boy needs to go.
