How Pete Hegseth went from Fox News host to Trump’s Defense Secretary pick

CNN  

New York CNN — Two years ago, Pete Hegseth relocated his family from New Jersey, near Fox News headquarters, to a small town outside of Nashville, Tennessee. When Trump said in a Fox interview that “you can’t have ‘woke’ military,” Hegseth said, “he’s exactly right.” “The Pentagon likes to say ‘our diversity is our strength.’ What a bunch of garbage. I reported in “Hoax” that Hegseth would sometimes peek at his phone during commercial breaks, looking to see if Trump had picked up on something he’d said on air. Hegseth wrote “Modern Warriors” in 2020 and “War on Warriors” earlier this year, both for Fox’s book imprint. In a statement Tuesday night, Fox said Hegseth’s “insights and analysis especially about the military resonated deeply with our viewers and made the program the major success that it is today.
