Deep State Smear Machine in Overdrive: The Pete Hegseth Hit Job and Why Fake News is the Democrats’ Favorite Weapon

Oh, the holiday hits keep on coming – not the Bing Crosby crooners, but the relentless barrage of Deep State diarrhea aimed at anyone daring to stand with Trump. This week’s piñata? Pete Hegseth, the battle-hardened Fox News warrior and Trump’s pick for Defense Secretary, who’s now dodging a media mortar barrage over a “botched” Venezuelan drug boat strike that sounds more like a Rambo rerun than a scandal. The NY Post’s lightning-fast clip captures Hegseth firing back like a well-oiled M4: “I learned of the second strike… only hours after the first,” he says, disavowing any direct hand in sinking the narco-goon scow to “eliminate survivors” – because apparently, in the fog of war, protecting American warfighters trumps the Beltway’s pearl-clutching etiquette guide.

But here’s the red-pill reveal: This isn’t about foggy intel or admiral’s calls (shoutout to Admiral Bradley for the green light on narco-terrorist target practice). It’s the latest Deep State and Democrat-orchestrated hit job, a symphony of smears blasted across every Mockingbird microphone from CNN to MSNBC, all designed to kneecap a conservative rising star before he can even unpack his Pentagon desk. Let’s rewind the tape on this farce, shall we? Hegseth, the Army vet who’s spent years calling out the military-industrial woke complex – think drag queen story hours on bases and DEI disaster preps – gets the nod from Trump to whip the DoD into America First shape. Cue the outrage orchestra: Within hours of the announcement, the fake news factories fire up their anonymous-source sausage grinders.

He’s penned books on how politicians and pundits gut warfighters with their hot-take heroism, and now he’s living it. The Post clip – a brisk 90-second gut-punch – shows him owning the chaos: Busy DoD duties meant he caught the double-tap intel post-facto, but damn if he didn’t back his admiral’s play to vaporize threats. Conservatives on the front lines, from Breitbart to the Daily Wire, see right through the smoke: This is payback for Hegseth torching the “woke military” on Fox, advocating for merit over pronouns, and vowing to purge the Pentagon’s $800 billion bloat. Gateway Pundit rounds up the receipts: Every smear traces back to Never-Trump Never-Nothings like Jennifer Rubin, whose WaPo columns read like rejected SNL sketches. The broader beef? This fake-news frenzy isn’t isolated – it’s the Deep State’s desperate death rattle as Trump 2.0 assembles his dream team. RFK Jr. at HHS? Smears about “anti-vaxx quackery.”
