In a hilarious moment which went viral on social media, Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth slammed Jennifer Griffin, the Pentagon correspondent for FOX News, who asked a disrespectful question about Operation Midnight Hammer.
For context, with the help of Israel, the United States launched a historic attack on Iranian nuclear facilities. While the limited strikes were a massive success, President Trump’s enemies in the press have attempted to portray the operation as a failure, in a vain effort to harm the president’s reputation.
Other prominent conservatives such as Tucker Carlson slammed the same reporter for acting as an agent of the deep state rather than an unbiased journalist. He says that Griffin was, “A shill, obviously, for the deepest of the deep states. But she’s like a parody.”
Starting the contentious interaction, Jennifer Griffin said, “It’s about highly enriched uranium. Do you have certainty that all the highly enriched uranium was inside the four dome mountain, or some of it, because there were satellite photos that showed more than a dozen trucks there two days in advance? Are you certain none of that highly enriched uranium was moved?”
Firing back at the disrespectful journalist, the SECDEF said, “Of course, we’re watching every single aspect. But Jennifer, you’ve been about the worst, the one who misrepresents the most intentionally what the President says.”
Responding with a sarcastic response, Griffin answered, “I’m familiar with the ventilation chefs on Saturday night. And in fact, I was the first to describe the B-2 bombers, refueling, and the entire mission with great accuracy. So I take issue with that.”
Burrying the deep-state reporter, Hegseth said, “I appreciate you acknowledging that this is the first operation, the most successful mission based on operational security that this department has done since you’ve been here, and I appreciate that. So we’re looking at all aspects of intelligence and making sure we have a sense of what was where.”

As we reported, in a recent excerpt from his podcast, former FOX News anchor Tucker Carlson slammed the same deep state journalist. Starting his demolition, Tucker said, “Jennifer Griffin is, even by the standards of Pentagon employees, she’s not technically an employee of the Pentagon. She’s a shill, obviously, for the deepest of the deep states. But she’s like a parody. She’s like parody. It’s like the whole thing.”
Continuing to criticize the so-called journalist, he added, “The crazy thing is Jen Griffin is a liar, but also very liberal, a true Trump hater, to the point where I complained about her and I really tried not to complain about other people at Fox when I worked there.”

Concluding his confident rebuke, Tucker stated, “She was discrediting the channel, she was such a Trump hater, and it was emotional. You could not touch Jennifer Griffin. She’s an idiot. She doesn’t tell the truth. She misleads our viewers,” adding, “And she’s like a screaming liberal who hates Trump, who our viewers love. So what are we getting out of this?”
