MS NOW host Jen Psaki was in top form on her show, “The Briefing,” when she went after Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth for obsessing over his public image instead of focusing on the war with Iran and protecting American troops who are currently in harm’s way.
“I have something to show you,” Psaki began. “This something is something that the Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, really, really does not want you to see. And it’s probably not what you’re thinking.”
“I mean, it’s not a top secret war plan that Pete Hegseth accidentally posted in a chat, which there’s still been no accountability for,” she continued. “It’s not photos showing top Trump national security officials checking Twitter in the middle of a military operation. Those exist. It’s not even this footage of Pete Hegseth ringing in the New Year during his previous life as an anchor for Fox News … Those things all exist. But it’s not, it’s not any of those things.”
“Now, the thing Pete Hegseth really does not want you to see is this photo, that one right there, the one on your screen, Pete Hegseth at a Pentagon briefing, furrowing his brow as he takes questions about Trump’s war of choice in Iran,” Psaki explained. “And the reason I know that Pete Hegseth doesn’t want you to see this photo is because The Washington Post is reporting that the Defense Department has now banned press photographers from the Pentagon briefing room over photos his staff have deemed unflattering.”
“Just to take a step back here, which is always necessary when you’re talking about Pete Hegseth and really a lot of things in this administration, she added. “The United States is on the 12th day of a war with Iran, and with everything that the Secretary of Defense has on his plate right now, the thing he is focused on is whether or not press photographers are getting his good side. It seems the former Fox News weekend host apparently has very strong feelings about it.”
“Now, this would be very weird, extremely self-involved behavior by a Cabinet secretary from a far less important agency than the Department of Defense on a day with far less going on,” Psaki concluded. “But to perhaps state the obvious, there are a lot of other things Pete Hegseth should be worrying about right now, because not only is this war about to enter its third week with no end in sight, but every single day we learn more about what a disastrous job the Trump administration has done in managing everything around this war.”
The current administration is filled with sycophantic attention junkies who either spend their time sucking up to Donald Trump or padding their own resumes in hopes of getting a prime TV gig once they’re inevitably given the boot by Dementia Don. Is is any wonder this country is slipping further into decay, morass, and outright stupidity?
