In a recent excerpt from his podcast, former FOX News anchor Tucker Carlson revealed a surprising secret about his former employer. According to Tucker, Jennifer Griffin, the Pentagon correspondent for the news network, acts as an agent of the deep state rather than an unbiased journalist.
For context, despite his involvement in encouraging the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars, Tucker Carlson has recanted his previous position and now is anti-war. According to Tucker, these wars have been disastrous for America while enriching military contractors and deep state officials.
In any case, Tuker began his revelation by stating, “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 expose 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.”
Explaining her actions at FNC, he 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?”
Echoing these point, Pete Hegseth recently demolished Griffin in a contentious press conference, in a viral post to X, a conservative influcer said, “🚨@SecDef Pete Hegseth to Fox News’ Jennifer Griffin: “You’ve been about the worst, the one who misrepresents the most — INTENTIONALLY!” She immediately says that she takes “issue” with that characterization.”
In the comments under the social media post, conservatives seized the opportunity to criticize the controversial journalist. One such comment, “Hegseth is correct. @JenGriffinFNC just parrots whatever her buddies in the State Department feed her or leak to her, all the while dripping with TDS. She is one of many reasons I quit watching @FoxNews.”

Building on this point, another user noted, “I fully agree with @SecDef. Griffin needs to kicked out of the Pentagon, I’ve read she has her own office, in fact all the media needs to be kicked out of the Pentagon and only brought in when there’s a briefing.”
Blasting the Griffin, one woman said, “He let her off too easy. One time she does that yet look at her previous reporting to include Hegseth’s incompetence. Yet the night of the bombing she. claimed best OPSEC ever. Never heard her say she was mistaken on her earlier assessment of Hegseth. She’s a cow.”

Rounding out the comments, another conservative stated, “It’s the d*mn truth. She defended Biden and his incompetent freaks running the military and everything Trump & Hegseth does, she consistently, negatively, spins it in her reporting with her snarky little jabs! I refuse to even listen to her reporting.”
