While speaking on the Senate floor on Thursday, Sen. Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn., shredded what I like to call the Democrat-Media Complex for publishing lies and propaganda intended to harm the nomination of Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense, The Federalist reported.
According to The Federalist:
“Despite Pete’s qualifications, the mainstream media, desperate to derail President Trump and his nominees, has gone after Pete’s character by airing false and unsubstantiated claims,” Hagerty said…
On Tuesday, NBC News reported on an affidavit from Hegseth’s former sister-in-law Danielle Diettrich Hegseth, who claimed without evidence that Pete engaged in threatening conduct that left his second ex-wife Samantha Hegseth fearful for her “safety.” It is only after readers get to the ninth paragraph of the article that they are informed that Samantha denies the allegations.
In his Senate floor speech, Hagerty highlighted how The New York Times article on the non-troversy declined to mention Samantha’s denial in its headline and how readers must read more than a dozen paragraphs into the story to learn the truth.
“This isn’t journalism. … This is a hit-job,” Hagerty said. “The New York Times intentionally ran with a salacious and debunked account, buried the truth, and distorted the lede simply to undermine President Trump and his nominee.”
In other words, the liberal propaganda machine known as the “mainstream media” continues to operate as it has for years in order to undermine a Republican president.

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
🔥HOLY SMOKES: Sen. Bill Hagerty just went scorched earth on the Dem/legacy media coordinated smear campaign on Hegseth:
“The American people are sick and tired of the deception stemming from this alliance between the Democrat Party and the so-called mainstream media."

“The American people are sick and tired of the deception stemming from this alliance between the Democrat Party and the so-called ‘mainstream media,’” Hagerty added. “This is yet another example of a story published with an aim to do harm, and despite evidence to the contrary. It’s why media has lost much of its credibility with the American people who see this article for what it is: a desperate, last-minute attempt to generate controversy where none exist[s].”
Translation: You do not hate the media enough.
The Senate voted to invoke cloture on Hegseth’s nomination. Although RINO Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins voted with their Democrat allies against Hegseth, the vote tally was 51-49 in Hegseth’s favor. According to The Federalist, a final confirmation vote for Hegseth is set for Friday evening. Naturally, Murkowski and Collins said they will side with the Democrats against the Trump administration and the American electorate.
