Maybe someone could explain to that grimacing drunken skidmark Hegseth that it's not the job of the press to "be nice" [View all]

“What happens to that pledge to the Iranians?” the reporter asked. “When did the president decide to capitulate on his demand for unconditional surrender?”

Hegseth apparently wasn’t pleased with the question.

“I wouldn't – I wouldn't... you started out nicely, but you ended exactly where we knew you would end,” Hegseth said.

“The president hasn't capitulated on anything. He holds the cards, we maintain the upper hand, and Project Freedom only strengthens that hand. So he will ensure that whatever deal is made or whatever end state is reached ensures that Iran never has a nuclear weapon. What the Iranian people take advantage of after the fact is up to them.”
