Army Veteran Hits 'Thin-Skinned' Pete Hegseth With A Blunt 'Wish'

Paul Rieckhoff said the defense secretary for using a "very dangerous shield" during a wild Iran press conference.
U.S. Army veteran Paul Rieckhoff ripped Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for displaying “conduct unbecoming” after he lashed out at his old Fox News colleague Jennifer Griffin for asking about U.S. bombings of Iran’s nuclear sites.
“He looks rattled, he obviously looks thin-skinned, he’s extremely aggressive and volatile and he’s attacking the press,” Rieckhoff told CNN.
“We need him to attack our enemies. I wish he attacked Vladimir Putin as aggressively as he attacks CNN and others.”
Hegseth is one of a number of officials in Donald Trump’s administration, including the president himself, who has lashed out at journalists in recent days after a leaked initial assessment contradicted Trump’s claims that Saturday’s bombings in Iran “totally obliterated” the country’s nuclear facilities.
Following a classified briefing Thursday, Democratic senators largely appeared skeptical of the bombings including Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), who said the strikes “only set back the Iranian nuclear program by a handful of months.”
