Hegseth claims US military took out the leader of an Iranian unit that tried to kill Trump
And he never bothered to name the individual nor the unit. He then said the person was only added to the target list once the war conveniently provided the opportunity. 😂🤣.
I'm sure this all sounds convincing to some.

@TexChik The burden of proof is on Hegseth. He’s the one making claims while withholding details.
And with a deeply unpopular war underway, it’s not unreasonable to question messaging that appears designed to sell it.
He isn’t a liberal, you say. Neither is Bondi , who previously claimed she had a certain list on her desk ready to go, only to later say that list didn’t exist.
Apparently, consistency matters less when you can simply assert you’re not a liberal.
@AwesomusPrime Secretary Hegseth's integrity is beyond reproach, and withholding details from a corrupt and untrustworthy media is common sense. You made the claim he was lying. Prove it.
@TexChik You’re assuming his integrity is “beyond reproach” without evidence, then using that assumption to justify him withholding evidence. That’s circular reasoning.
Perhaps you’re unfamiliar with how arguments work. The burden of proof is on the person making the claim. If someone makes a claim but refuses to provide details, skepticism should follow, at least if you’re a rational adult with basic critical-thinking skills.
Ironically, defending claims purely on trust is exactly the kind of behavior the term “sheeple” was meant to criticise, and if I remember correctly, a term the right used to throw at liberals.
