The smear campaign is ramping up against Donald Trump’s cabinet nominee.
A journalist was desperate to sink one nomination.
And a sick attack on a Trump nominee forced an MSNBC host to issue this disclaimer.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth nominee is a reformer who cleaned things up
President-elect Donald Trump battled woke generals like former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman General Mark Milley during his term in office.
The rot runs deep at the Department of Defense with divisive concepts like diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) taking a higher priority than military readiness.
Trump nominated Fox & Friends Weekend co-host Pete Hegseth to serve as his Secretary of Defense.
Hegseth served in the Army National Guard as an infantry officer and is a veteran of Afghanistan and Iraq.
He’s the type of outside who can go into the Pentagon and shake things up at a department desperately in need of change.
The Fox & Friends Weekend co-host outlined the changes he would make to the military in his book, The War on Warriors, about the dysfunction in the Pentagon.
“Our generals are not ready for this moment in history. Not even close. The next President of the United States needs to radically overhaul Pentagon senior leadership to make us ready to defend our nation and defeat our enemies. Lots of people need to be fired,” Hegseth wrote.
Hegseth wants to go into the Pentagon and end the department’s focus on DEI and fire the woke generals holding the military back.
MSNBC host forced to dial back smears against Pete Hegseth
Democrats are absolutely terrified of Hegseth ending business as usual at the Department of Defense.
Former NAACP Legal Defense Fund president Sherrilyn Ifill smeared Hegseth as a white supremacist because he opposed the military’s DEI initiatives during an appearance on MSNBC.
“This is someone who, you know, is known to be a white supremacist, known to be an extremist,” Ifill ranted. “Whose platform, whose book is basically about his opposition to the advancement of black officers to the top brass, and the military is actually a very important area for black advancement.”
Of course, Ifill is the real racist because she believes that black soldiers can only advance with the help of DEI.
“So him selecting that particular person– And by the way, the Department of Defense has 3 million employees,” Ifill raved. “There’s no evidence that this man has ever run anything. The fact that he is a veteran is simply insufficient.”
MSNBC host Chris Hayes stepped in to do damage control after her slanderous statement against Hegseth.
“I would just say that Hegseth would say that he would deny strenuously he’s a white supremacist,” Hayes stated. “I just wanna put that on the record.”
“So did Trump,” Ifill fired back.
Ifill pushed the false notion that only through DEI or affirmative action could anyone succeed in the military.
“If you’ve read what he’s written about the people in the military, about gay people in the military, about women in the military, about black people in the military, especially in supervisory positions, he is an extremist. That is absolutely true,” Ifill raged.
Pete Hegseth is going to face a vicious character assassination designed to sink his chances of being confirmed as Secretary of Defense.
