Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon mouthpiece has received less than glowing reviews for her debut on the agency’s press podium.
Press Secretary Kingsley Wilson, 27, took the spot for the first time on Tuesday as Hegseth, the so-called Secretary of War, faced mounting questions over a deadly “double-tap” airstrike in the Caribbean that has placed Pentagon leadership under intense pressure.
Instead of fielding relevant questions, Wilson attacked the press in front of a pack of right-wing podcasters who have replaced mainstream media in the Pentagon press corps after they refused to agree to restrictive new rules that would effectively prohibit critical reporting.
