An anonymously sourced NBC News hit piece accusing Trump DoD pick Pete Hegseth of being frequently inebriated at Fox News has been refuted by over a dozen current and former Fox News personalities and guests, including his two cohosts.
According to NBC, two of their anonymous sources said that "on more than a dozen occasions during Hegseth’s time as a co-host of ‘Fox & Friends Weekend,’ which began in 2017, they smelled alcohol on him before he went on air," adding "“Those same two people, plus another, said that during his time there he appeared on television after they’d heard him talk about being hungover as he was getting ready or on set."
"Horseshit"
In response to the hit piece, Hegseth's co-host Will Cain - who NBC never reached out to - posted to X: "Bullshit. 100 percent bullshit. Actually…horseshit," adding in a subsequent post,
"Your story is horseshit @NBCNews. Put my name on it. On the record. It’ll be your only on the record source.
"Signed, The guy who sat next to him for 8 hours every week for five years starting at 6am."
Rachel Campos Duffy, Hegseth's other cohost, also chimed in - posting on X: "The losers at @NBCNews never reached out to me either," adding "Will Cain is right – your story IS horseshit. You now have 2 people who sat next to him 8+ hours a week on the record. Will you retract or correct your story?"
