YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDef Sec Hegseth this morning scolded the media for making “front page news” of the deaths of the 6 American servicemembers who were killed in Kuwait by a suspected Iranian drone.
Hegseth said the press is reporting on the deaths of the American heroes to “make the president look bad.”
“When a few drones get through or tragic things happen, it’s front page news,” he said. “I get it. The press only wants to make the president look bad. But try for once to report the reality. The terms of this war will be set by us at every step.”
