In a recent broadcast, MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell lambasted Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for his press conference defending President Trump's airstrikes on Iran. O'Donnell contended Hegseth's statements were among the most ridiculous ever made by a Defense Secretary, particularly highlighting Hegseth's assertion that Trump directed an unprecedented military operation. He drew attention to Hegseth's historical drinking problem and a past rape allegation to underline his argument about Hegseth's credibility, ultimately questioning the seriousness of his remarks given their theatrical nature.
O'Donnell accused Hegseth of perpetuating the 'stupidest public lie ever told' and questioned his sobriety during a questionable press conference.
Hegseth's claim that Trump directed a military operation of unparalleled complexity was critiqued as fitting for a drunken rant, according to O'Donnell.
