Retired general cuts off MS NOW host in rush to drop the hammer on 'infuriating' Hegseth
Retired United States Army Lieutenant General Mark Hertling did not give MS NOW host Jackie Alemany much of a chance to ask about comments made by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth about Russian involvement in the Iran war on Saturday morning.Instead, he jumped the gun, talked over her, and hammered Hegseth, whom he dismissively referred to as a “former Fox host” earlier.Brought on to address the Pentagon’s highly criticized war propaganda videos, Alemany shared with him a clip of Hegseth in an upcoming “60 Minutes” report, blowing off reports that the Russians are helping Iran target American interests.With Hegseth saying, “I’m not worrying about that,” Hertling stopped Alemany in her tracks by blurting, “Jackie, that's a sidestep, and I'm going to tackle it before you even ask the question. I'm sorry.”“But it's infuriating to me as a soldier,” he continued. “I mean, I can remember not so long ago when Secretary Hegseth was a Fox News anchor and there were reports of Russia providing information that killed soldiers in Afghanistan and he went off the charts on President Biden. We now have a situation where Russia is contributing to to the intelligence that can lead to the potential danger of U.S. forces with Iran.” “As a military commander, I tell you, you look at all things within an area of operation. And if Russia is passing intelligence, and there's indicators that they are to Iran, and it's helping them to target U.S. military facilities, they should stand up against that,” he added.Hertling later apologized to Alemany and she laughed it off as a “pre-emptive strike.” - YouTube youtu.be
