Pete Hegseth Dropped a Bunker Buster on the Fake News Media This Morning

Oh, man, grab some popcorn and bourbon for this smackdown. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth held an early morning press conference at 8:00 AM to discuss the follow-up to Operation Midnight Hammer, which reportedly damaged Iran's nuclear capabilities. The bunker buster bombs did their job, destroying the centrifuges at Fordow. 
 
This comes after 36 hours of abject fake news about the strikes, with CNN and others touting a leaked low-confidence, top-secret intelligence report claiming that Iran’s nuclear program wasn’t set back. The same terrible ‘Russian collusion and Hunter Biden laptop is Russian disinformation’ reporters launched the salvo, which got slapped down by facts. First, this operation was carried out successfully with near-total secrecy, and this report claims it did nothing in less than 24 hours. It didn’t pass the smell test. Second, whoever leaked it wasn’t privy to the details of the operation at all. It was chum for the rabidly anti-Trump media, and they took it hook, line, and sinker. They can’t stand a president who knows how to lead. Period. Read more, see Xs and videos here.
