Actor Michael Rapaport slammed leftist MSNBC commentator Joy Reid over her “fake news” about incoming Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, calling the mainstream media host “a con artist race hustler” and a “complete bullshit artist.” Rapaport shared a video of Reid reacting to President-elect Donald Trump choosing Hegseth as his administration’s Secretary of Defense, in which she dismissed Hegseth as nothing more than a Fox News host. “Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth is a combat veteran with 20+ years of service,” Rapaport pointed out in a Wednesday X post. “He did tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, receiving two bronze stars. Hegseth has a BA from Princeton and a master’s degree from Harvard.” The True Romance star went on to call Reid “a con artist race hustler fake news complete bullshit artist.” “She’s reason 118 why Kamala lost, the fear mongering opinion media veiled as ‘NEWS.’ Blame yourself Joyless Joy,” Rapaport added. – Melissa Hallman
