Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth received praise from President Donald Trumps supporters for not leaking U.S. plans to bomb Iranian nuclear sites ahead of time, prompting ridicule from critics at what they saw as a laughably low bar for congratulations.
Newsmax host Todd Starnes was among those who applauded the former Fox News personality, who earlier this year was embroiled in the so-called Signal-gate scandal after The Atlantics Jeffrey Goldberg was accidentally added to a group chat discussing strikes in Yemen.
Not a single leak. Well done, @SecDef, Starnes wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) led the mockery of such applause.

How about a grown man being able to not sell out his own base of support for bucks he shouldn't need to begin with?

so that's hardly a fucking accomplishment.

I imagine there are times when Hegseth is too drunk to actually do that.
