Fake news? I'm pretty sure those people are dead

He isn't claiming they aren't dead. He's claiming that it isn't worth reporting.
Decide for yourself which is worse.

He actually said in a press conference 4 died thus far.

Isn’t it ironic

The irony of the guy who made his living spewing out fake news calling actual news fake.

It's projection every time.

It's not irony when it's deliberate lies. It's all part of the same strategy.

SecDef trying to erase troop deaths. Despicable.

Hegseth could suck a golf ball through a garden hose.

Wish he'd try that trick at the end of a barrel.

"The problem is reporting on the bad stuff not the cool stuff like Israel not releasing the video of trump raping a child" translated from RWL

Funny thing that, Mr. Hegseth. Killing people, regardless of who they are or where they live is largely considered a "bad move", regardless of what dreamt-up baloney-bullshit reason you think you have for doing it.

Said the country that lies 24/7 non stop. If you believe them, you are a murderer.

WTF!?!?

To be fair and I hate this man, but they were showing a short of Iran rolling out a grain silo and everyone was saying it's a massive rocket.
I'm not questioning the validity of the facts those people died for sure.
I'm just saying people will believe what they want.
