Hegseth Won't Release Video, Cites 'Responsibility,' Not Regrets
Hegseth won't commit to releasing the video of a 'second strike' on a drug boat, claiming they'd need to be 'very responsible' about reviewing it. This from the man who earlier revealed classified Signal communications on air, demonstrating a highly selective understanding of 'responsibility.' (Perhaps accountability is also on a need-to-know basis, and we, the public, don't.) This pattern of
withholding evidence while claiming national security is a well-worn playbook, often deployed when scrutiny could expose incompetence or worse. One might wonder if the 'responsibility' cited here is to avoid revealing details that contradict the official narrative, rather than to inform the public. The lack of 'regrets' over the Signal debacle simply underscores a broader contempt for oversight, a
hallmark of media personalities who blend entertainment with policy, consequence-free.
