Karoline Leavitt Admits Entire Pentagon HATES Pete Hegseth After Latest Scandal

Following reports over the weekend that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth had another Signal chat with his wife and brother where he shared sensitive information, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt went on Fox News and basically admitted that the entire Pentagon HATES Hegseth. She said that leaks like this are what happens when the “entire Pentagon is working against you,” but they wouldn’t be working against him if they didn’t want him gone. And none of that is a viable excuse for what Hegseth has done, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

On Easter Sunday, it was revealed that Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, had a second that we know of Signal Chat Group going where he once again discussed secret plans to attack the Houthis and Yemen. Now, this second chat included people like Pete, he's lawyer for some reason, his wife and his brother. So none of those people that we know of actually have security clearances yet. Pete Hegseth decided, you know what, I'm gonna go ahead and just let all these folks know what's happening because why not, right? Um, literally, I cannot think of a reason why any of those people would even need to know this, but he had the chat and now the Pentagon is embroiled. And yet another scandal. Before the first scandal even died off hell, they fired four separate people last week as part of the first scandal's, aftermath. And yet here we are once again, new scandal, same thing, same idiot.

So naturally the White House does what it does best, and they went into damage control mode telling us that everything is totally fine. The problem is they sent Caroline Levitt out to do that, and Caroline Levitt essentially admitted that, yeah, everybody in the Pentagon hates Pete Hegseth. So when you're trying to defend the guy that's now been in office for three months, embroiled in several major scandals already, the response should not be everybody working for him, hates him, that that actually does the opposite of what you're trying to do. But here is what Caroline Levitt said Monday morning on Fox News. The president stands strongly behind Secretary Hegseth, who is doing a phenomenal job leading the Pentagon. And this is what happens when the entire Pentagon is working against you and working against the monumental change that you were trying to implement. There have been people at that building who don't like the change the secretary's trying to bring. So they're leaking and they are lying to the mainstream media. So she says everybody at the Pentagon is working against him because they don't like change, right? Which is actually kind of a hallmark of the Republican party not liking change. But, uh, first and foremost, that's just not true. That's not even possible. There's over 20,000 people working at the Pentagon. I, I'm willing to bet not all of them hate Pete Hegseth and are actively working against him. Like, that's just not even plausible. Not to mention the fact that, yeah, okay, people in the chat did leak it,

But they're not lying about it. Like, why are you saying they're lying about it to the mainstream media? Man, the chat speaks for itself. You idiot. We, we can see it. We can see the messages. We saw the messages the first time. There's no need to lie about it because it's literally all right there in black and white. Caroline, as per usual, Caroline Levitt doing a bang up job of taking something that the White House should be able to kind of talk their way out of, and instead making the problem so much worse because that appears to be the only thing she knows how to do.
