It’s like clockwork. Donald Trump scored a decisive victory in November, and the Democrats still can’t comprehend that America chose him—again. Instead of self-reflection, they’ve launched another round of overblown outrage.

This time, it’s over Trump’s cabinet picks. Leading the charge is their hysterical opposition to Pete Hegseth, Trump’s choice for Secretary of Defense.

The Democrats’ theatrical fight, fueled by a flimsy NBC News report, reeks of desperation. The more they squawk, the more they reveal their irrelevance. At this rate, they’re only succeeding in making themselves even more unlikable. You’d think they’d learn, but nope—it’s a surefire recipe for political disaster.

NBC News’ attempt to torpedo Hegseth might be the most pathetic effort yet. Their “exposé” relies heavily on anonymous sources claiming that Hegseth smelled like a brewery during his time on “Fox & Friends Weekend.”

The accusations sound like something cooked up after a particularly bad game of telephone. The NBC story looks less like journalism and more like a poorly executed smear campaign.

From Daily Wire:
After NBC News reported that anonymous colleagues of Pete Hegseth, President-elect Trump’s choice for Secretary of Defense, was drunk while on air, professional colleagues of Hegseth ripped NBC and fiercely defended Hegseth…

Unlike the anonymous colleagues cited in the report, several people who work with Hegseth regularly went on the record to defend him from the attack.

Anonymous Whispers vs. Named Defenders

NBC’s report doesn’t pass the smell test—ironic, considering the accusations. Two unnamed “colleagues” claim Hegseth showed up hungover on air. But let’s dig deeper.

Will Cain worked alongside Hegseth for years, and he flat-out dismissed the claims. Rachel Campos-Duffy, Lisa Boothe, and others joined in, shredding NBC’s credibility. Boothe even called it “malicious.” It’s a clown show when your anonymous sources get debunked by nearly every named source.

The criticism isn’t just baseless—it’s laughable. Early morning TV isn’t for the faint of heart, or liver. As Clay Travis pointed out, no one with actual alcohol problems could survive the grueling 6 a.m. schedule.

Yet here’s Hegseth, thriving and endorsed by his peers. The media’s reliance on nameless “whistle-blowers” only exposes their agenda. If you can’t attach your name to a claim, maybe it’s not worth publishing.

The New Yorker Joins the Fray

Not to be outdone, The New Yorker jumped into the dogpile. Their hit piece dredged up allegations from Hegseth’s time at Concerned Veterans for America. The accusations? You guessed it—more claims of intoxication, courtesy of a supposed “whistle-blower.”

Hegseth’s team didn’t hold back, dismissing the claims as “petty and jealous.” Tim Parlatore, Hegseth’s lawyer, even called out The New Yorker for its lack of journalistic integrity.

This isn’t journalism; it’s character assassination. The mainstream media seems determined to paint Hegseth as a frat boy in a suit. But the facts don’t add up.

Colleagues respect him. Supporters trust him. And Trump chose him for a reason. Maybe the media’s real problem isn’t with Hegseth—it’s with Trump’s ability to choose winners.

What America Really Thinks

The media’s obsession with tearing down Trump’s nominees only highlights their disconnect from reality. Hegseth’s track record speaks for itself.

He’s a veteran, a trusted voice in conservative circles, and someone who clearly commands respect among his peers. Meanwhile, the Democrats and their media allies keep doubling down on attacks that don’t resonate with the public.

It’s simple: Americans voted for Trump and his vision. They trust his choices. By attacking Hegseth, the left only reaffirms why they’ve lost touch with voters.

People are tired of nameless sources, tired of media bias, and tired of the left’s endless tantrums. It’s time for the Democrats to face reality. Trump is here, his team is ready, and the American people are watching.

Key Takeaways

• Democrats can’t accept Trump’s victory, and their opposition to his cabinet picks is backfiring.
• Pete Hegseth’s colleagues have rallied to his defense, shredding NBC’s anonymous allegations.
• The media’s smear campaigns only highlight their desperation and disconnect from the American public.
