I’m sure Pete Hegseth REALLY doesn’t want the world to remember when he suggested Hillary Clinton should be “fired on the spot” and criminally prosecuted for mishandling info — so please don’t repost this right this very minute.

Hey, Derek Hunter, ever considered revisiting your shockingly prophetic piece about Harris’ “lies” regarding Trump’s willingness to deploy the military against Americans?
