i hadn't even heard about this, but apparently this was from last year? lmfao.. and he used the exact words "no beardos". It's exceedingly hard to tell what is real and what isn't anymore.

right after he used the t slur too. iirc the beard thing specifically was an attack on black troops who commonly have a waiver for beard standards because they get really bad ingrown hairs/razor bumps if they shave too close. notably the waiver doesn't let them do whatever it just says that they don't have to be perfectly smooth since that's the cause of the problem with certain hair types, but I guess even that much is too woke for hegseth.

Did he pronounce it like “weirdo” or “hairdo”?

He pronounced like weirdo because he rhymed it with weirdo
