So I have to admit to being surprised [View all]

Pleasantly surprised at that. Because I have a weak stomach and low tolerance for bad acting, I did not watch Hegseth's press conference. But I did see this exchange transcribed by Aaron Rupar, and it appears that even FAUX News has had enough

Fox News's Jennifer Griffin: Are you certain that none of the highly enriched uranium was moved?
Hegseth: Jennifer, you've been the worst. The one who misrepresents the most intentionally.
Giffin: I take issue with that

The next step, of course, would be for the next reporter to ask the same question, and the next UNTIL IT IS ANSWERED. Even if it is never answered, the refusal to answer repeatedly tells its own story. Don't know if the press corps will ever learn to do this, but it would be very powerful if they did.
