Pete Hegseth’s Moving Interview with Megyn Kelly

232

Pete Hegseth told Megyn Kelly during an interview on her show today that Donald Trump told him he was “the man for the moment ” and had his back. Donald Trump said he, Hegseth, would represent the fighting men. That has not been the case. Donald Trump wants a warfighter who will clean the house of wokeism and climate garbage, and foc us on a strong military.

Hegseth said the Armed Forces Committee deeply cares about the military, and he thinks they will support him.

His mother’s appearance on Fox, shown partly in the first clip, is great.

Hegseth said the crazy gossip about him is unsourced and anonymous. Megyn Kelly asked if he was being Kavanaugh’d. He said the media is blowing up tiny truths and ignoring the legions he served with, and others closest to him talk about his character and the man he is today. Hegseth said it’s the art of the smear. Some of the anonymous accusers are people who were fired and disgruntled.

Pete said the military men and women on the ground want him since the soldiers have never had anyone to represent them.

He said he does not have a drinking problem. He found salvation with his wife and God. He is not the person he was ten or fifteen years ago and wants to help these soldiers returning from war.

Hegseth said he is the person for the job.

HE FOUND JEN AND GOD

In this clip, he addresses the ridiculous rape accusation and all the accusations. Kelly said everyone reporting the allegations is anonymous. People on his side are going public, including Medal of Honor recipients, Dan Bongino, Will Cain, and many others.

Kelly addressed his serial cheating. Hegseth said it was a true characterization of him, but God and his wife Jen have changed him. He talked about his background and his pastor.

He regrets the man he was and is grateful for God’s grace. He asked, can people who make mistakes not step up if they have made mistakes? Can you never be forgiven?

Hegseth talked about God, daily prayer time, and reading the Bible.

Correction: I mistakenly wrote ‘Medal of Honor winners’ when it should have said ‘Medal of Honor recipients.’

The most significant award Hegseth received is the Combat Infantry Badge! That’s the big daddy of all among his awards. That award spells “VALOR” by itself!

As a combat veteran; I find it interesting that the people who trash veterans; most do not have CIB, and if they were put in that situation, they would probably soil themselves.

His very vocal opponent competing it seems for the position, Joni Ernst is said to be a “combat veteran” in media stories, however, I don’t see a Combat Infantry Badge on her uniform. She may have served in a combat zone; but that doesn’t make her a *combat veteran*……. I thank her for her service!

Veterans, when they serve are heroes, they have signed a blank check volunteering to give everything they have including their life, but if they return home; then support the destruction of our country, they are no longer heroes! Merely another POS that has forgotten their oath! Perfect examples are chronicled at Votvets (dot) org supporting progressive Communist veterans, more examples would be John McCain (RIP) and Dan Crenshaw also Republicans like Joni Ernst.

I don’t believe the rape accusations. I think this guy probably drinks too much and acted like an asshole and went through 2 wives and who knows how many relationships on the side. Then again, Trump has had 3 wives, several casino bankruptcies and who knows what else but is proving to be a great leader. I guess the left doesn’t believe in redemption. I believe very little of what I see in the media.

Great article. Though I do have just one little pet-peeve to note:

“People on his side are going public, including Medal of Honor winners, Dan Bongino, Will Cain, and many others”

The MoH is earned, not “won”. Sorry if it sounds minuscule, but when it’s used it hits that one little nerve I have and makes my eye twitch.

Sue, I agree with you. Most who use the word “won” don’t mean as a slur. When in the presence of someone that uses the term won, I suggest they use the word earn or awarded! But I understand how it peeves you! (smile)
