Missouri MAGA wingnut apologist Sen. Josh Hawley just proved he’s got absolutely no business serving on the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee in the Senate with this reaction to the Jeffrey Goldberg national security debacle.
Hawley made an appearance on Laura Ingraham’s show on Fox immediately after the response by Hegseth to the reporting, where he attacked Goldberg and called him “a deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist,” and asked him to weigh in after reading a short portion of Goldberg’s article.
Hawley responded by completely ignoring all of the national security breaches that were committed by the Trump administration officials, and instead mocked the “leftist media” for being upset about who was “on a text message.”
HAWLEY: Well, I thought what the Secretary of Defense just said, Laura, was an outstanding statement, and listen, I mean, we don’t know how much of this is accurate or not, but it looks like even if everything The Atlantic reported is true, it’s the president’s advisors discussing among themselves options they might recommend to the president, and nobody can deny the success of what the president is doing here, which is what Pete Hegseth just underscored.
