The far-left outlet ProPublica set out to publish a cheap hit piece on Defense Secretary-nominee Pete Hegseth and ended up getting schooled, but there is a larger story behind the scenes about what appears to be an effort inside the Department of Defense to sandbag Hegseth.
Wednesday morning, Pete Hegseth posted on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, that ProPublica, a fringe-left outlet that claims “investigative journalism” as its stock-in-trade, was about to publish a false allegation against him. He did a pre-emptive strike by releasing the receipts.
We understand that ProPublica (the Left Wing hack group) is planning to publish a knowingly false report that I was not accepted to West Point in 1999.
Here’s my letter of acceptance signed by West Point Superintendent, Lieutenant General Daniel Christman, US Army.
