Pete Hegseth has been left humiliated and out of his depth after video footage emerged on X of him clearly struggling to bench press in front of US soldiers. The video shows a sweaty Hegseth clearly having a hard time lifting weights while a soldier spots him from behind.
The footage, shared by X account Republicans Against Trump, showed the Defense Secretary during his recent visit to Guantanamo Bay, and was captioned: “What is Pete Hegseth doing?”
The thread was filled with replies, some defending Hegseth while the vast majority of people seemed to be agreeing the clip was humiliating. It comes just days after a lip reader revealed Trump's desperate 8-word plea as he was brutally booed at the New York Knicks game.
One person said: “The contrast between the soldiers around him looking elite and him struggling like a newborn deer is hilarious. It’s obvious he was one of the least capable people in his entire unit. No wonder he’s over compensating.”

Unfortunately you need to go to the link to see the supposedly humiliating clip.
There was a time I could bench about 300#. 50 years later and a full shoulder job…I might get 120# up if I am motivated.
I am not going to just this man for getting in front of the public and pressing ANYTHING. I cannot imagine that the people criticizing him know where the gym is, let along spend a lot of time there.
Where is Scott Pelly on this?
Dude just did 44 reps of what looks to be about 135 lbs and was going for 45 .
That’s pretty stellar
You have to watch the whole clip
He did 44 reps ie you keep pumping until you fail
You don’t hate the media nearly enough.
Still under his bed sobbing.
Good riddance to bad garbage.
Sanctimonious piece of ….
Pete: Omit the last rep.
To put things in perspective , I could bench just about 350 lbs in my prime.
I warmed up with about 25 reps of the same weight. Seem to recall that once tried to see how many reps of 135 that I could pump out and it was less than 50.
So Hegseth is just about the same level I was at when I was in peak condition.
That's pretty amazing.
It's obvious that the POS that wrote the bogus hit piece has never touched a weight in his couch potato life
Fake news, guy was doing a lot of reps and it is at the end of them, nothing but lie attempting to shame who they consider an enemy.
I think he’s been too busy to maintain his fitness.
He obviously values being with them than whether or not he can still compete with them.
Middle schoo; cool kids that run the MSN news feed scan the globe for any garbage they can throw
My guess is that “ Myrium Toua “ struggles to lift her grocery sack.
And no matter how much you try to hate the media - they hate you more.
At BS like this proves it

Hegseth is a total monster. I'm humbled and in awe
Bingo. In the "Never send a man to do something you wouldn't do.' mode
He is demonstrating he has the balls to go to failure with them in public. That is their kind of leader.
Article is stupid.
Normal to press until failure with spotter ready to help
The MSM needs a good beating with a stick.
What a ridiculously inappropriate lead in.
