Dozens Of Pete Hegseth’s Co-Workers Go On The Record To Defend Him Against ‘False Smear’

Fox News coworkers have come out on the record to defend their friend Pete Hegseth, who President-elect Donald Trump has nominated to head the Department of Defense, after “anonymous sources” have allegedly spoken to the mainstream media and made accusations of sexual assault and drunkenness.

Not one source of the allegations against Hegseth has given their name, but every defender has.

“Bullshit. 100 percent bullshit. Actually…horseshit,” “Fox & Friends Weekend cohost Will Cain said on X.

“I was not contacted by anyone at @NBCNews. And no one had closer proximity on a continuous basis. Well…maybe @RCamposDuffy since she sat between us!” he said in another post.

“Worth repeating, @NBCNews used “anonymous” sources & unconfirmed stories to smear @PeteHegseth as a drunk on the job & never once asked his FOX & Friends coworkers who sit right next to him??? Don’t forget, @MSNBC started on day one of his nomination by saying he was a known racist/white supremicist – crazy, I know, but again never asking the Hispanic woman who works with him either. I would know if Pete was racist. This is why Americans hate the media & politics. It’s why they voted for Trump who withstood every smear in the book – including being accused of TREASON. Keep fighting, Pete. America is behind you,” his other cohost, Rachel Campos Duffy said.

“I’ve guest co-hosted with him numerous times before. Not once did this happen. Not once have I heard this from others. This is such a disgusting and false smear. It is wrong and malicious,” fellow Fox News host Lisa Marie Boothe said.

“Add me to the list. It’s ridiculous bullshit,” Clay Travis said.

“I’ve co-hosted with Pete and have never experienced anything like what was claimed in this anonymously-sourced report,” another cohost, Guy Benson, said.

“Pete has always been an absolute pro, totally respectful, humble, and kind. Every single time he’s interviewed me, even at 6am ET on a Saturday or Sunday morning, he’s been sharp and totally prepared. This includes 5-6 years of being on F+F with Pete. This story is garbage,” frequent Fox News guest Charlie Kirk said.

Cain went on to post a thread with more than two dozen on-the-record sources vouching for Hegseth.
