‘We needed to babysit him’: Pete Hegseth’s Fox News colleagues worried about his drinking

Indeed, and all the indications are that Putin - a VERY savvy operator - recognized back in the very early 2010's that Trump would be a really easy mark to flatter and cajole, in order to set the dumb-as-a-rock narcissist on the path to consider himself "prime material" for the Presidency. With such a guy in charge of the US, easily manipulated into thinking "NATO bad", "isolationism for the US good" - and therefore seriously affect the balance of power in the world - it would be much easier for Putin to realize his own aims for Russia. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what we will see in this next - and possible the last - US Presidency. The world is on the brink of economic collapse and environmental catastrophe, with the US possibly headed for a civil war as troops are deployed on US soil to mop up "the enemy within" - i.e. US citizens who don't agree with Trump, and the MAGA chumps voted for this.

@@joeydiaz5927 you think the drinking stories are lies? From Fox news staff? Okay then, lets wait. Ask yourself why only this guy is being accused.

[@joeydiaz5927]

@ firstly he isn’t the k Lumi e attacked. Most cabinet picks have been attacked. Secondly these accusations came AFTER he got the job of secretary. Thirdly they are anonymous sources which aren’t worth anything. Lastly there is no proof just hearsay from anonymous. You just want this to be true so you have decide it to be.

As a recovering alcoholic!!! YOU CAN'T TRUST A DRUNK!!!

Breaking: Kamala polished off 8th bottle of wine today. Story at 10. Thanks ~Jim Eagle

[@robgabriel8900]

wasn't it reported he was considered for a role in the first term as undersecretary of something and when he was given a background check he was ruled to be unfit, if he was unfit for the 1st term, why is he now qualified to work in the 2nd term?

[@catherinecolby7369]

Here's a tried and true way to find out if you are an alcoholic. Go to a bar, have a drink, then stop. If you can't stop, you have a "drinking problem ". Easy to prove.

Trump needs these kind of "idiots" because he is immun and THEY will be accused for that what they do although Trump has ordered it. Inelligent and able persons would say NO to things that are against the law. Like Milley did... And getting a NO makes Trump to freak out.

[@konradyearwood5845]

If Hegseth has terminated his contract with Fox then it means, that by nominating him for Sec Def, trump did Fox a solid as they are now rid of him without having to deal with a messy sacking.

[@micheleconner5083]

Don't have to buy out rest of contract! Suppose he'll go crawling back,groveling for his old job back?😂

[@carmenbyrne6521]

Never mind trump's nominees, who need rigorous background checks, what about trump's own background?

[@LindaBalkin-h8j]

Ok, when you climb the ladder of Fox Entertainment, be careful who you step on going up, cause they will be there when you come back down. Fox was probably happy to see him go, a la O'reilly, Carlson cause they probably don't want to pay out anymore money.

[@evangaudet]

Drinkers drink because they’re stressed about something. If he’s drinking because he can’t handle his personal problems or he’s struggling with stress of working at Fox News how do you think his drinking is going to go while secretary of defense?

[@teinetoa0416]

Good point.

[@micheleconner5083]

From the sounds of it,he drank heavily long before fox show. It's like a drug addict. They drink to escape something. Whatever the something is,they sometimes don't even know. They repress the reason even from themselves.

[@anitagreen4137]

The Hegseth situation is pathetic. Hegseth is not qualified for the position. Stop underestimating people more qualified than Hegseth.

[@netimaiorieo692]

Wow! Good on Fox news for speaking out! ( never though I'd say it) But good Thanks, good reporting .

Maga followers are full of spite … the only thing they care about is “oWNinG da LiBs”. Their comments on YT prove their obsession. You’d think they’d be less vindictive and miserable after the election but they’ll keep crowing even as trump/Elon Musk and Project 2025 throw them under the bus….again. It’s a full on cult at this point 😂
