In a speech on the Senate ground this week, Senator Invoice Hagerty of Tennessee slammed the left wing media for his or her false smear marketing campaign towards Protection Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth.
Holding up a duplicate of the New York Occasions, Hagerty identified how the headline of a latest smear story doesn’t even match what’s reported within the precise story.
