Hegseth Fires 60,000… Wife and Brother Given Roles (But Craig won’t say a word: he’s familiar with alcoholics)
The worst holders of power we’ve had. Alcoholics. Abused. People with anger problems. Idiots jeopardizing our pilots.
And that’s just the Secretary of Defense. And he’s firing tens of thousands from our national defense.
But wait! There’s more.
Hegseth brought his wife to high level meetings at NATO headquarters in Brussels (where allied defense officials discussed the war in Ukraine) and at the Pentagon (with the U.K.’s two top defense officials).
[Jennifer Hegseth] isn’t a Defense Department employee, defense officials said. It isn’t uncommon for spouses of senior officials to possess low-level security clearances, but a Pentagon spokesperson declined to say whether Jennifer has one. Jennifer didn’t respond to requests for comment.
The scandal-plagued self-proclaimed “war fighter” has brought his wife, former Fox & Friends producer Jennifer Rauchet Hegseth, to at least two meetings with foreign military counterparts during which sensitive information was discussed, according to the Wall Street Journal.
He’s also keeping his brother close. The Journal and Associated Press report that Phil Hegseth, Pete’s younger brother, has been hired for a key role in the Pentagon.
Former podcast producer Phil Hegseth has joined the Pentagon as “senior adviser to the secretary for the Department of Homeland Security and liaison officer to the Defense Department,” the AP reports.
It’s not the first time Phil Hegseth has worked alongside his older brother. When Pete Hegseth was CEO of Concerned Veterans for America, a nonprofit that fell into financial difficulty during his time there, he paid his brother $108,000 to do media relations for the organization, according to federal tax records.
Based on Phil Hegseth’s publicly available resume, his past experience includes founding his own podcast production company, Embassy and Third, and working on social media and podcasts
And Trump early this week was about to cancel hybrid work for military spouses working in the federal government.
ReplyDeleteUntil CNN got asked about it.
These are fools running our nation. Only nine weeks in.
“ Some military spouses who work in the federal government were notified by their respective agencies this week their remote work exceptions were being rescinded, despite them being granted just days or weeks earlier, several military spouses told CNN.
The guidance from the Office of Personnel Management, the federal government’s Human Resources department, that would have forced them to return to the office was changed Thursday after a CNN inquiry into the matter. Military spouses now expect orders from their agencies will ultimately reflect change again, after weeks of whiplash that left military spouses in the federal workforce deeply worried about their jobs.”
