The lack of follow up questions challenging his own actions is shocking.

You can tell he is lying by the looks on the guys faces behind and beside him. That was with the sound off!

Has Pete's mommy released a statement about the war plans yet?

Petey Hogsbreath speaks lies freely.

It’s like Andy Bernard trying not to blow up at Dunder Mifflin when he gets back from anger management training. The seething is barely contained, if that. This dude is a loose trigger. Those tattoos make alot of sense.

All while actually boosting the credibility of the Atlantic journalist!! I hope this routine is getting old on the MAGA!!!🇺🇸

He thought the question was in regard to his career

All they do is lie! I'm so sick of it!

It’s always everyone else’s fault. Narcissists are so predictable.

The right answer: I was wrong and have offered the president my resignation

So... if they had released the classified info to a "real" journalist, then no problem?! Is he denying the leak even occurred, that it's all fake news? That's a tough sell at this point. So hard to follow their lies and excuses. Hegseth is a train wreck.

These people are beyond infuriating. It might literally kill them to tell the truth. Lying scumbags.

Hey Pete you're kinda missing the point here

Follow up: “….so why did you add him to the chat?”

No we’re talking about a highly discredited Defense Secretary who royally screwed up! Just own it mister!!!

Then why was he included in your Signal conversation?
