Pentagon Pete’s Hand-Picked Press Corps Roasted After Their One Big Brag Backfires

A new wave of Pentagon press corps members filled with MAGA mouthpieces has been mocked for not even managing to report which desks they will be using accurately.

The ragtag mix of MAGA influencers and conspiracy theorists was brought in to replace established reporters from major news outlets—including The Washington Post, the Associated Press, Fox News, and CNN—who quit the Pentagon press corps rather than comply with the Defense Department’s new rules restricting access and coverage, including demanding they only publish information the Pentagon approves of.
