John had a massive heart attack at 3:30 AM on April 2, 2025, though his heart was likely emitting C-Reactive Protein two days before.

Mazie Hirono (D-HI) cited thoroughly refuted anonymous reports claiming he drank on the job at Fox News. Hirono used her time during Hegseth’s confirmation hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee to peddle the anonymous reports, which a multitude of Hegseth’s former coworkers at Fox News have refuted on record. “I have read multiple reports of your regularly being drunk at work, including by people who worked with you at Fox News.

Jimmy Kimmel even accused Trump of being racist against firefighters — a laughably ridiculous claim that the comedian made by disingenuously conflating opposition to DEI with racism. During their respective broadcasts, the comedians made no mention of California’s Democrat leaders who are ultimately responsible for managing the unfolding catastrophe.
