Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth might have banned photographers from his press events in a fury over ugly pictures of himself but that hasn’t stopped TV crews from capturing some of his more perplexing facial expressions.
Hegseth held a briefing Friday at the Pentagon after the Washington Post reported the Secretary has now barred entry to the conference room to certain journalists deemed to have snapped what he considers “unflattering” images of him talking.
The briefing was nevertheless televised. Stills from that footage show Hegseth gazing awkwardly up at the ceiling, grimacing as he delivers his updates, puckering his mouth as he rails against “fake news” headlines, and at multiple points throughout his address standing with his mouth wide open.
