'Overcompensating' Pete Hegseth laughed at by MS NOW panel over photo panic
Reports that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has banned outside photographers from the Pentagon because he thinks they were taking “unflattering” pictures of him led to laughter on MS NOW on Thursday morning with the only female panelist taking the lead in belittling the former Fox News personality.
After two press conferences on the war in Iran, “members of Hegseth’s staff reportedly told colleagues they did not like the way the defense secretary looked. In press briefings on March 4 and March 10, photographers were not permitted inside," the Independent reported.
That led “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski to flay Hegseth to the amusement of her colleagues.
“I don't think photos are his problem," she accused. “I think actual qualifications for the job and this grotesque talk about death and destruction and the need to sound strong.“
"Like, I mean, you can take a bad picture of Pete Hegseth if you want, but it's what comes out of his mouth that's the problem,” she continued before smirking, “He's totally overcompensating for something that's missing in his life.”
