Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth proudly and embarrassingly declared that he only "speaks American" while in a room filled with leaders from Latin America.
I wonder what his mom thinks of him turning into such a huge douchey asshole.
Is she surprised, or did she see it coming? Maybe he’s always been so. He’s the kid who made new rules for games and cried when the other kids wouldn’t follow his rules.
“You are an abuser of women – that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego,” Penelope Hegseth wrote in the email obtained by the New York Times.
“You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth,” she added, advising her son to “get some help and take an honest look at yourself”.
On the one hand, that reads like a lot of messages written by abusive parents to (mostly) blameless children. On the other, this one is directed at Pete Hegseth.
Hegseth’s father was a basketball coach for high schools across Minnesota before retiring in 2019; his mother is an executive business coach who has taught with the Minnesota Excellence in Public Service (MEPS) Series, a fellowship and leadership program for Republican and center-right women.
She’d probably say “You’ve always been a disappointment to this family. You should’ve gone to war with Iran last year.”
Depends on whether she’s opining privately or publicly.
Privately she’s said some pretty awful things about him that are absolutely deserved. But in public, she recanted and lined up behind him, which is really disappointing. She could have been helpful to stopping his appointment but now she’s party not only to murders happening globally, but the deaths of American reservists who shouldn’t be at war in the first place.

his own command when he was in the nat guard deemed him a security threat, that should tell you a red flag.

People don’t become evil in a vacuum.

“Boromir would have invaded Iran and Iraq”
Boromir would have called it a war
