When was the last time anyone saw politics like this?
Today the Defense Secretary did a video statement because the news was misrepresenting things the White House was doing . He pointed to three main things he wanted to clear up, and said they'd be doing this whenever they were misrepresented by the MSM, and quickly communicate clearly with the public.
Three quotes from the statement:
‘With DOGE, we’re focusing as much as we can on headquarters, and fat, and redundancies and topline stuff that allows us to invest elsewhere. ... Finding those inefficiencies is how we save taxpayer dollars. That is a good that of course is being distorted in the media, their hyperventilation, and it just goes entirely unreported for the most part.'
‘During the process [of re-making the military] we’re gonna communicate with you directly, and it's not going to be through the filter of media outlets.' ‘...Ensuring you get the real info in realtime.’
'We're not going to get everything perfect, but we're going to do it earnestly.'
