Pete Hegseth, whose own mother once called him a deplorable monster in a leaked email, had a message for Iran on Friday, and he delivered it with the kind of bravado you expect to see at a sports bar rather than a Pentagon briefing.
When asked by CBS News about reports that Russia is feeding Iran intelligence on U.S. military positions, the Secretary of War immediately got defensive (though for Hegseth, that grimace is something of a resting fixture these days) and said: “No one’s putting us in danger. We’re putting the other guys in danger. That’s our job.”
