Hegseth excoriates media, likening them to ‘Pharisees’ in Trump defense

Pete Hegseth, U.S. Secretary of War, criticized the media for biased coverage during a Pentagon press briefing, comparing them to biblical Pharisees who sought to undermine goodness. He referenced the U.S.-Iran ceasefire under Operation Epic Fury and criticized the press for downplaying the success of American military efforts and the Biden administration's Afghanistan withdrawal.
