Recently Kevin Price, Host of the nationally syndicated Price of Business Show, interviewed John D. O’Connor.
Most believe that the 2024 election is over. They would be wrong. The legacy media, whose favored Harris-Walz ticket they backed to the point of sickeningly partisan dishonesty, lost, and the hated Trump won, the election, it seems. But now the legacy media is attempting to deprive the President-elect of his cabinet choices. They are doing this by a campaign of personal destruction, hoping that fair-minded citizens will be critical, and “fingers to the wind” Senators will reject them. What are the media doing to destroy key Trump picks Pete Hegseth and Kash Patel?
To smear Hegseth, they are been publicizing an alleged sexual assault, as if the charge was true, while in fact the police report shows beyond a shadow of a doubt that Hegseth was the victim of a false charge by a woman seeking to hide from her husband her one-night fling with the handsome Hegseth, himself in the middle of a divorce and essentially unmarried. Now the media claims that twelve years ago Hegseth drank while on his veteran’s nonprofit job, as a vet himself just home from war. Patel, who has an enviable record of national security and prosecutorial experience, is criticized as not having experience managing a large institution. But no Director after J. Edgar Hoover has had such experience, not key to the job. There are administrators on staff. And while Patel dramatically has vowed retribution, he is seeking accountability for those agents who strayed from their oaths and used their posts for partisan ends. Let us hope that Senators find their backbones and confirm these fine nominees.
