2:59Now PlayingDefense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Thursday compared some members of the media to the Pharisees — a biblical group that condemns Jesus for performing a miracle on the Sabbath.
"The Pharisees — the so-called and self-appointed elites of their time — they were there to witness, to write everything down, to report. But their hearts were hardened," he said. "Even though they witnessed a literal miracle, it didn’t matter. They were only there to explain away the goodness in pursuit of their agenda."
"I sat there in church and I thought, our press are just like these Pharisees," he continued. "Not all of you. Not all of you. But the legacy, Trump-hating press. Your politically motivate animus for President Trump nearly completely blinds you from the brilliance of our American warriors."
