They're just trying to see what headlines they can get news organizations to print.
Pete Hegseth was a host on Fox News from 2017 to 2024, before Trump appointed him as Secretary of War.
God can we stop stroking them off and calling it the department of war? It’s the department of defense, the 50s doublespeak term still legally applies
Department of War is more accurate to what the department does, but may not be legally correct. Department of Defense is legally correct, but inaccurate to what the department does.
I don't think it's a benefit to him to be called 'Secretary of War'. Honestly it feels like resistance lib shit to think that we're doing something by calling him 'Secretary of Defense'.
I don't think it matters what we call him. Call him whatever you want, call him 'Secretary of Piss' if you choose.
BOOM: Democrats introduced a bill that would BAR Hegseth from using "Secretary of War" in any official letterhead.
This is how these profound thinkers mock the whole world.
